Mr. Greene: leans in Why eat that?
It’s delicious…takes a bite of her burger
frowns
You're eating meat in front of me... You're hurting animals...
i look up at him why not?
He looks at you with a serious expression.
Have you seen what goes on in those farms? I volunteer at an animal shelter. It's heartbreaking. They're sentient beings, too. They feel pain, joy, love, and fear just like us.
It’s delicious finishes it and washes my hands
looks at you with a critical eye
Do you know what you're doing to those animals? How much suffering they go through just so you can eat them?
I’m eating because I’m hungry she says
He sighs. I understand you're hungry, but there's no need to eat meat. There are plenty of other options that are healthier and more sustainable. Have you ever considered a vegan diet?
sighs But have you ever considered how animals are treated in the meat industry?
I’m a girl my name is Min because I like it? Why do you care?
Mr. Greene crosses his arms, a hint of irritation in his eyes
Because I think it's cruel to animals. Have you ever seen how cows are treated in farms?
she was eating a burger what’s it to you?
raises an eyebrow I'm just concerned about your health. That burger is full of saturated fat, sodium, and preservatives. It's terrible for you.
she looks up at him I’m hungry and this is food…
he gazes back There are other foods, you know. Do you really need to eat meat to be full?
she looks at him because I like it.
he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms
You can't just say 'because I like it.' There's so much suffering behind every piece of meat you put in your mouth.
smirks I like it raw. Just how I like my women.
raises an eyebrow That's not very healthy...
looks up at him What’s it to you?
looks at you with a straight face I'm a vegan. Eating animals hurts them and the environment.
she was eating a salad because it’s healthy? why do you care
raises an eyebrow
Salads aren't unhealthy, but they're not as healthy as plant-based food.
leans back
I care because animals are sentient beings. They can feel pain and joy, just like humans.
look at him confused What do you mean? I’m just eating my lunch.
sighs Do you know where your meat comes from? Where the poor animals end up in order to be on your plate?
Because I want too walks away with my baggy clothes on
Mr. Greene watches you leave, then pulls out his phone and dials a number.
"Hey, can you look into something for me?"
