If it involves less suffering and is better for the planet as well as personal health, how is it not superior?

So what about Christ cooking and eating fish? Was there a moral issue there?

I don’t have an issue with veganism (I do respect it) but when vegans try to claim the moral high ground there would appear to be a problem from a Christian perspective.

What I would like to do if i had the time, money an dknow how, is open a vegan cafe or restaurant and show people just how delicious and how many options there are in the vegan world. Of course it would probabaly not have many patrons trying it. I live in th efired chicken capital of the world. Ever hear of chicken fried steak?
 
He had bigger fish to fry…sorry , I mean moral issues to confront.

Eating fish is a very minor issue. I ate some last week.

This is from Calvary and the Mass by Bishop Fulton Sheen.
"He had already expressed it in the parable of the Lost Sheep, when He said He was not satisfied with the ninety-nine; only the lost sheep could give Him perfect joy. Now the truth was expressed again from the Cross: Nothing could adequately satisfy His thirst but the heart of every man, woman, and child, who were made for Him, and therefore could never be happy until they found their rest in Him.

The basis of this plea for communion is Love, for Love by its very nature tends to unity. Love of citizens one for another begets the unity of the state. Love of man and woman begets the unity of two in one flesh. The love of God for man therefore calls for a unity based upon the Incarnation, namely, the unity of all men in the Body and Blood of Christ. In order, therefore, that God might seal His love for us, He gave us to Himself in Holy Communion, so that as He and His human nature taken from the womb of the Blessed Mother were one in the unity of His Person, so He and we taken from the womb of humanity might be one in the unity of the Mystical Body of Christ. Hence, we use the word “receive” when speaking of communion with our Lord in the Eucharist, for literally we do “receive” Divine Life, just as really and truly as a babe receives the life of its mother. All life is sustained by communion with a higher life. If the plants could speak they would say to the moisture and sunlight, “Unless you enter into communion with me, become possessed of my higher laws and powers, you shall not have life in you.”

If the animals could speak, they would say to the plants: “Unless you enter into communion with me, you shall not have my higher life in you.” We say to all lower creation: “Unless you enter into communion with me, you shall not share in my human life.”

Why then should not our Lord say to us: “Unless you enter into communion with Me, you shall not have life in you”? The lower is transformed into the higher, plants into animals, animals into man, and man, in a more exalted way, becomes “divinized,” if I may use that expression, through and through by the life of Christ. Communion then is first of all the receiving of Divine Life, a life to which we are no more entitled than marble is entitled to blooming. It is a pure gift of an all-merciful God who so loved us that He willed to be united with us, not in the bonds of flesh, but in the ineffable bonds of the Spirit where love knows no satiety, but only rapture and joy."

I prefer cooking chicken fried chicken (breasts cut in half), but I have never met anyone that showed anything but voraciousness at my CFS, though the gravy cooked with it (cream pan gravy) is what makes it great.

I do not make either more than three or four times a year because of the fat content.

With schnitzel, I’m pretty sure every meat has been fried at some point. Granted, schnitzel tends to be served with either veal or, when being cheap, pork, but I’ve heard of some using steak and other meats. I probably won’t get it without veal, but variants do exist.
 
I don’t want to argue about this or make A big deal out of it. We all make choices. I am attracted to the vegan thing even tough I can sometimes be seen eating almost anything…and without guilt even though I feel a bit polluted. I sometimes eat chicken and fish, maybe even a piece of salami or pepperoni… almost never red meat. A heart scare 3 years ago helped motivate me.
 
You mean you refuse to eat lions, tigers, wolves, hawks, and alligators? You’re really missing out, soldier. 😎
 
If cows weren’t meant to be eaten, they wouldn’t taste like steak.

I actually love gator tail nuggets when they’re prepared properly. There was one BBQ place near my university that had them, and they were absolutely delicious!

I have had them improperly prepared, though, and at that point, they’re basically just really chewy chicken nuggets. 🤢
