I'm not a vegetarian per se but I always try to minimize my usage of meat. That is, I especially try not to eat pork and beef because they can be seen as impure and they are often causes of many medical problems e.g. tapeworm from cow meat, which is rather disgusting. I also don't like their taste. I like chicken, though, and I get lots of protein from that.

However, I'm not a crazy PETA extremist; I don't cry when I see pictures of slaughterhouses. Indeed, I think that humans are superior to animals. But still, if I don't really need to eat them, then what's the point?


But what's to stop the manic tide,
The suicide of our own pride?
