On Goodness and Philosophy

Philosophy often tries to answer the question: What is good. The moral absolutist in me wants to believe that the Torah is the primary text for rules for healthy living. Yet, the moral relativism in me knows that if I eat at my parents house the foods that are most likely clams, lobster, pork, or shrimp. Thus, it is such that when I go to my parents house we have a disagreement about what is good. I liken eating lobster to eating a cockroach, eating clams to eating earth worms, and eating pork to eating human. In fact, there are so many ways that parents try to suppress my intellectual freedom that my current resolution to deal with them is to avoid them.
