Why I Don't Eat Faces

I took a break from reading this essay to eat a steak. I wasn't able to enjoy the steak as much because of the neuro-ethical argument Lane provided. Some animal died just so that I could enjoy its flesh. It was grown for that sole purpose. This is a difficult subject for me because I can go back and forth on the topic. I understand the moral wrong-doing and would like to separate myself from participating. But I also think that meat eating is a part of who we are as humans - this may be culturally enforced as Lane mentions in his essay. I disagree with the industrialization of meat, and should become a veggie because of it. Maybe I need to witness the meat process in order to fully realize the horror of it all.
