Since I moved to Toronto, but especially since the Queen Street West streetcar line has been diverted from my neighbourhood by construction, I've been eating a lot of Korean food. It's spicy; it's best with chopsticks; it has kimchi; it's something I'm not used to. What's not to like? It was only this evening, while eating some squid rice, that I began to feel queasy. It was the sight of the rubbery purple tentacles of the squid that did it. It wasn't only my understandable fear of my Dread Lord [livejournal.com profile] fluffcthulhu and my desire for a marginally less painful death when Ry'leh that caused me to leave my meal unfinished, but what I knew about the remarkable intelligence of cephalopods in general. The idea of eating an animal with which I might share certain basic principles of thought, with which I might feel some empathy, makes me queasy.

Who knows? I may yet become a vegetarian.
