The Cullens calling themselves "vegetarians" is
really a clever way to think about it. Though they still drink blood, drinking
the blood of animals rather than humans, seems a more appropriate way to live
as a vampire when considering the rather gruesome alternative. But would a
lifestyle choice to be a vegetarian as a human make it easier for a vampire to
deny themselves the calling of human blood after their turning? It has been a
topic of debate in recent decades that eating meat is inhumane when the
treatment and raising of the animal being served as dinner is questioned.
Claiming that vegetarianism is more humane in reality (because it is), would it
then be correct to assume that vegetarianism as a vampire is the lesser of two
evils? The Cullens believe it is, as do fans of the series. So keeping that in
mind, would consuming no meat as a human, make it easier to be a
"vegetarian" as an immortal due to the parallelism between the two
moral choices?
