unless you have absolutely no scruples, everyone draws a line at some point. Exactly where you draw it is a function of your personal principles.
well, unless that grandma was the grandma of an animal, no I would not eat a grandma. I never said I would eat anything...just any animal (and no I don't think that humans are considered animals). And yes I would eat chimpanzee, koko the signing gorilla, and even my dog if they happened to be packaged up in the store. I wouldn't be able to kill them myself, because I have a hard time killing anything warm blooded...even mice. But that doesn't mean i wouldn't eat them if somebody else killed them for me. So my line would be anything below humans.

i don't know if this would add anything to the function of my principles, but I like my steak rare...as in bloody as hell and just about still mooing. I just thought that might help your analysis of me.
