I just received a freezer full of steaks for Christmas and I’m going to enjoy every bite. Because homo sapiens are omnivores. And who am I to defy science, anyway?
But what the other creatures lack — and we enjoy — is the ability to choose. We wear clothes, we build housing, we goof around on teh Internets, all out of choice. We can also choose not to eat the other creatures who can’t make those choices.
