Yes, I have that problem too: of being reminded of my hypocrisy. Because I'm not a vegetarian, simply because I like meat. I do believe that vegans are "better" or "more evolved" because they don't. That is, if I can make an argument for not eating one kind of animal (pets, or beautiful looking creatures) while it being okay to eat others (ones we find ugly, or raise just for food), then I'm being a hypocrite. And the vegans are right: "don't eat anything with a face." Because once we decide it's not okay to eat one four-legged animal, then any arguments for eating others is inane.

I salve my conscience by eating only meat from a local farm that raises and slaughters them humanely, rather than any meat from our industrialized "factory" farm methods. At least they are not being beaten and terrorized.
