In answer to your ps and pps, I will likely continue to consume animal products. For me it is not a moral issue but a health issue and personal belief issue. My consumption of animal products in no way harm any human beings. Yes I know all about the adverse health, social and mental effects ranching has on people, and the pollution and run-off issues. I do not think anyone could name a single industry that does not have any adverse issue where it comes to humans.

When it comes to "Moral" issues who are the judges? When a duly elected government of the people for the people and by the people declare war on another country is the murder and killing of those we have declared war on morally correct. Morality is a judgement call.

Morality in many parts of Africa still includes "Bride Price". Morality in parts of the middle east still include "Child Bride", morality for many christians include witch hunts, and "crusades". Many muslims believe in Jihads.

My opinion of any Morality issue is simple, It is nothing more than a justification for violence on the part of one group toward another group.
