When I responded that humans also weren't instantly dropping dead from living with asbestos or drinking water with lead in it, but it didn't make it healthy, he retorted that the only thing that makes cats obligate carnivores is the length of their digestive systems.
Yeah, whatever. If I'm a hypocritical speciesist because I adopted an abandoned kitten and, having done so, accept responsibility to provide her an appropriate diet, so be it. I can live with that.
There's a difference between militancy and compassion. I choose my diet because I aspire to the latter, not the former.
ETA: Thank you 27! I am not great at food photography, but I thought this one was okay.
