I was thinking hard about it, and I'm displeased with myself that I have such a cognitive dissonance where eating meat is concerned. I would never in a million years harm/kill an animal. I'm the type of person who literally cries like an idiot when someone smashes a harmless spider, just minding it's own business. If a cow were to be slaughtered right in front of me, I would be very upset, yet I ate the meat of these animals all my life. I've already cut out meat from my diet completely. After a huge trial that's coming up in August, I am quitting all animal products and cigarettes. Right now I'm just too stressed.
I would never impose my choice upon another, nor would I dare lecture anyone for their choices. This is just my choice, and I'm feeling better already because of it.
Good luck with that, I'm throwing my hat in with middle eastern and Med foods for somebody going vegan -especially if you like a little heat- lol.
