I read the book Skinny ***** and it really opened my eyes up to what happens to the animals as they are butchered, many are still alive as they are being chopped!. I made a pledge to go Vegetarian for a month and I did not think I could do it!. One day I craved meat and I went to get a hamburger and thought about what I would be eating and supporting and it made me sick!. I will never eat meat again and I am happy with that!. Not only do I feel bad for the animals but buying meat means you are also supporting the people that cruelly process the meat and I would never want to support such a thing!. Most people also don't know that not eating meat is a 'green' practice, less animals being consumed equals less transportation needed, less feed needed, less farmland needed!.!.etc!. Go Green!Www@FoodAQ@Com

For me, I just don't like meat or poultry!. I have grown up with it, but not until two years ago did I start paying attention to the taste of my food!. I learned that only when they are in heavy Barbeque sauce do I like the taste of meat!. I realized that is not what meat tastes like!. also, why should I eat it if I don't enjoy it!? I know plenty of people who don't like rice, salad or celery!. They don't eat what they don't like then why should I!? I hope no one thinks I am doing this for the wrong reasons!. If I was allowed to find out more information on cruelty of animals I probably would of done it for those reasons!. Until then, I am ok with eating what I enjoy, not including meat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I decided not to be a horrible human being!.
Industry Factory farms are mean to animals, have unsafe working conditions for their employees, pollute the surrounding communities and meat in general is not a sustainable food source!. It takes ten pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat!.

So yea!. !. I just don't like that stuff on my conscious!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

My doctor, the side effects of eating meat, and it's always something I agreed with and wanted to do!. If I had to provide my own food, ie if there were no supermarkets and I had to gather my own, I would definately only eat veges and I wouldn't kill, skin and process meat!.
It's pretty gross to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
