Answers have a tendency to be black & white. Life is *way* too diverse for that. This fits in with our philosophy of parenting too - taking the time to teach the kids why so that they develop a foundation for making their own decisions. A lot of times M doesn't like it when we say not to do something (like play with the hose when we're about to mow the lawn), but explaining the reasoning tends to make a difference. I suppose the new green god does require some thought as you need to know why something is not the right choice (ie the effects of factory farming as a reasoning against eating such meat).
