But eating fish still makes me uncomfortable ethically in my own system. Eating animals is one of those ethical decisions I really don't care what other people choose to do. Certainly if you catch your own fish, you're making a better ethical decision in my grading system than me going out and ordering sushi where the fish comes from who knows where. I probably shouldn't use the term immoral because I don't think of there being one concrete moral system as regards the morals/ethics of eating animals. I have qualms about killing and eating animals. And doing the local, free-range thing makes me feel better but it doesn't eliminate those qualms for me. So immoral is not a precise term.

When I was vegetarian, I was pretty good about eating a lot of protein which helped a lot (since I still ate eggs/dairy, it was easier though). So, it's immoral when I go fishing for food? :) I love the stonyfield lemon fruit on the bottom yogurt (a bit more sugars in it than I like though).
