I think I might have an interesting perspective on this:
Growing up, my dad was a meat and potatoes guy, and my mom fixed dinner accordingly. I detested it, and when I was ten, I asked my mom if I could go veg. She agreed, with the caveat that I had to make sure I was cooking and eating balanced meals.
Ten years, and nine hospital visits due to anaphylaxis (turns out, I'm allergic to nuts) later, I was underweight by about fifteen pounds and decided to have a burger one hungover New Year's day. Within a few weeks of incorporating a little lean meat into my diet, I was healthier and more energetic. Now, I eat a little meat. Mostly chicken and turkey. I like fish, but in raw form most of the time.
Here are my questions: Do you think I was indoctrinated into eating meat as a child? Do you think I'm unethical by eating meat now, considering my diet limitations?
