One of the most important paradigm shifts of my life, in that it has had a great effect on how I view the world and my behavior, ocured a few years ago on a cruise. I had always been an animal lover; I grew up with pets and had parents that taught me about ompation, including towards animals. Despite this, no one in my family, including me, never seemed to have any problem eating animals. I had always liked a good pice of spiced chicken. I loved fried food and could never get enough bacon or ham. And I never gave it a second thought. Untill one night on a caribean cruise. I ordered duck because I had never had it before and was curious about it. I don't remember how it tasted. I took one bite and then an image popped into my head: a white duck, like the Aflack mascot. It hopped out of the water, wagging it's little tail and flicking its wings to dry off, and waddling around and quacking. It was cute...I could see its eyes. I was imediately flooded with remorse and disgust at the slab of meat infront of me, dressed up and florified which made it all the more sickening. I couldn't bring myself to take another bite. I never wanted to eat an animal again. That duck's face was burned into my mind.
