I admit, I love the taste of it. Only over a year ago did I decide that I should not take it, along with my girlfriend Huihua. It’s not easy, really, when it’s placed in front of me at a wedding dinner. Even harder when I know it’s a ‘good quality’ fin. And hardest when I know my mum/grandma spent hours cooking it the family for Chinese New Year. But I’ve been doing well so far, and hopefully, after watching this video by Gordon Ramsey, you will stop eating it too.
I think it’s hard to go completely vegetarian or vegan to stop animal cruelty. But I believe small steps count. B and I make it a point to buy free range eggs, for example, which we found at NTUC Finest. We also try to buy free range beef, which is actually not that expensive. Every little bit does count, and even if we can’t change things this generation, hopefully we can set a conscience for our future generations to come.
Hey Ee-Lyn, just read this blog entry of yours. Best youtube clip i’ve watched in a long time.
