why are they here?

[Guest guest]

I work with teenagers in a technical high school. I am grateful for my job, but

it is a learning high school and I am the assistant to the chef in the Culinary

Arts Department. Every chance I get I throw in a little info about the health

benefits of NOT eating animals. Of course it goes over like the proverbial lead

balloon.

 

Friday I had a kid ask me " what would be the animals' purpose if we stopped

eating them? " " What was their original purpose? "

 

He got me. I told him I'd get back to him with an answer (and congratulated him

for thinking!).

 

Any input would be appreciated. All I can come up with is fertilizer.

 

Thanks, Shari
