Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us.
Praise God for His mercy and love!
I've seen this in different variations; but it serves to remind just how little of an education people get in school, and just how far removed they are about where food comes from.
I have a friend who is a vegan. I realize that may be surprising to you, but I do dip into those circles from time to time. Said friend just bought a new Mercedes S Class car for about $120K. The leather seating and trim is luxurious. I mentioned that he won't eat an animal but he'll sit on it's dead hide and he'll wear a leather jacket. He replied that he didn't eat "cow" and that a "cow" as a domesticated herd animal had no relative value in the sense that a Tibetan snow leopard would, and that using its by-products for sitting on wasn't at all like killing them for food would be.

Hahahahaha! Good grief.
DeleteI'm telling you, that is a scary thought...that they drive and vote and have reproduced. :) Can't wait to show this to my husband.
ReplyDeleteI know. Isn't it, though? Sad and true.
