I have a legitimate question about the crackdown on talking about eating meat on this forum, which should not be viewed as making fun in any way. My question has a solid basis in facts and I'd like it if I could get it answered.
The taboo seems to stem from the idea that we don't want to have any discussion regarding eating something that was once alive and had a future in front of it. But more and more I'm seeing, from what appears to be this totally vegetarian standpoint, characters like Onion-chan and the potato named Potante. These are vegetables, the kind of vegetables, theoretically that you all eat, since you're not eating meat.
I mean, things like Potante actually speak more verbosely than the cows do. Wouldn't that make it WORSE to eat potatoes? Where do you draw the line?
