« on: September 30, 2007, 05:33:04 pm »
as per bilbous's suggestion... cont'd from http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30054.0
i think it's a good point that not everyone would be able to afford meat, but there are also religious reasons why people in planeshift could be vegetarian. Animals wouldn't be treated as cruely on medieval farms compared to the modern livestock industry, and in Planeshift's time there isn't the same culture of overconsumption and man-made chemicals that we have today, so there are fewer reasons to be vegetarian. Then again, there are races like the enkidukai which are half animal so maybe there's actually more reason not to kill animals unless it's necessary for survival.
