After a few years of being an ovo-vegetarian I switched to a pescatarian diet a couple of weeks ago. I still believe animals suffer and that it's better to avoid meat, but it's not a lifestyle choice I can afford. I gave my decision thought using Kantian deontological ethics and justified my action with this universal law.
Universal Law
An agent facing extreme hardship, discrimination and mortal threat may promote the consumption of meat for the sake of survival and the pursuit of procreation.
