meat matters... a tale of bacon

K:  I'm not gonna eat it anymore mama.  We don't have to call me a vegetarian, but I am not gonna eat anymore meat.  I can't deal with the guilt of all those dead animals.  How do they kill them?  DO they shoot them or something?  I mean that is just so saaaaaddddd.

did i mention she is 5?



CK:  Okay, it's your choice sweetie.  Do you need a list of things that are made from animals?

K:  No, I know, if it is meat it had to be killed right?  Except fish, I'm okay with killing fish.

CK:  That will make dinner easier, daddy and I both love fish.

K:  And bacon.  OH MAMA????  WHY DOES BACON HAVE TO TASTE SO GOOD?

CK:  I don't think I've ever known a vegetarian who ate pigs K.

K:  I know, but isn't there a way to get just the bacon without killing the pig, like bacon surgery so the pig could still be happy and I could have its bacon?
