People wonder where we get our morals from, we may just be born with it.

You'll find a lot of very young children will refuse to eat meat when they understand where it comes from.

Is that a good thing or not?

I can't make a judgement whether its a good thing or not. It's up to each person to decide if they choose to become a vegetarian.

Very true.

Although it is a moral issue? I don't know. Possibly more an ethical question.

My daughter refused meat as a baby. She has always had an affinity with pigs and as soon as she was old enough to understand (perhaps around 3?) she stopped eating meat. She understood she was eating what used to be a living thing.

She's 12 now and still has issues with it.

Sometimes kids won't eat eggs when they realize where they come from. ?:|
