If you do have that access, and you are still choosing to hand over your hard-earned money to the factory-farm industry to torture, kill, and dismember defenseless animals for profit, you don't have a logical leg to stand on.

Eat what you want. It's between you, your health, and your conscience. But when you go over to a veg*n forum and argue that eating animals is necessary and equivalent to respecting and revering them, you are only advertising your own hypocrisy.
