A moral cunundrum?

Every piece of food presents a moral dilemma.
My favourite apples come from New Zealand but I know that they have traveled halfway around the planet to reach me, putting an equivalent mass of CO2 into the atmosphere.
I love meat but I'd have trouble killing my own. Well, okay I'd have trouble killing it the first time and it would get progressively easier the hungrier I was but you get the idea.
Then again if a creature is going to give up its life for you you could at least accord it some respect and eat it...
...that said I won't be going in for Thatcher burgers any time soon...
Can one get diet whale in Japan? Whale Max, anyone? Are there whale patches for people who are trying to quit?
I was told by know-all NZ teacher at work today that the old Japs get round the whaling ban by saying "We're going to conduct a scientific experiment to check fertility amongst whales. So there's a whale there's a whale there's a whalefish he cried and the whal was in full view and they cut it open, zoiks there be a baby whale in there. Oh dear, it appears to be dead. Whaleburger anyone?"
Does this appear to be the case?
Your journey from vegetarian to carnivorous morality-void evil fucker is complete.
I congratulate you sir. *claps*
More more! you havent writen for two days!
I have also come very close to eating whale in Norway but opted for the reindeer instead, it came with a very pleasant bacon and brussel sprout sauce.
I've eaten Fois Gras: Goose liver made tender by force feeding the goose until it dies. Very yummy.
Brussel sprout sauce? You barbarian.
