I spent yesterday afternoon with my four year old son. We went to the park and ran errands, one of which was to the supermarket. Each item that I put in my basket, my son asked, "Is this from an animal?"

Now, we are not vegetarians. We do cook meat in our home as well as offer many choices as an alternate such as tofu, tempeh, etc. but we have never impacted our son's views. This, all on his own, is his choice. He does not want anyone, especially his parents to buy or eat meat and he refuses to eat it. He is upset by the fish that sits on ice, and the lobsters that slowly await their fate. He has a warm heart and can not understand why we would kill an animal for food.

While we can not all have the same convictions as a four-year-old, we can do something to make the lives better of those animals that are being raised for food. Do something by contacting the link above and going to the downed animal and food safety protection act. We can protect ourselves and the animals that keep us alive.
