But I would like to stress that this can be an enormously tempting pretense to eat what one likes most taste-wise. I'm not saying it is in your case, but in general.
That is only accurate if one ignores one's body and genetics I am thinking. It is also very unwise to generalise. As I have stated, I tried the vegetarian pathway for around a year and failed. My body/ metabolism won't tolerate it; ergo it is not for everyone and vegan/vegetarian advocates like yourself should pull your heads in and stop making a lifestyle choice that works for you a doctrine to beat upon those who are unable or choose a different path. You only end up looking ridiculously liken to a religion.

It is offered to also point out that the temperatures of a given area along with rainfall are vital to supporting this veggies utopia ..... in which case my whole state fails rather miserably. Great for cattle, sheep, pigs and other edible livestock...sucky for plant life though
Here is another (rather bleary) Map of just about everything that can and is done in this country.

Note the lack of Grain production as compared to cattle and sheep
this is my childhood indoctrination (or a map thereof). See the tiny blue squiggly bits around the edges of the country? THAT is where our population lives...within 60km of the ocean.
