====================
But like most vegans, you don't want to know about the death and suffering
behind the foods you want to eat, right? Why do you assume that foods with
micro-bits of animals in them are somehow automatically less cruel than any
food without any bits in it? I'd say that the bed of rice you have
underneath your fish has caused more overall death and suffering than the
fish on top does. But then, that's the typical veg*n ploy, focus only on
the foods that include meat, and ignore the blood dripping from the veggies.
