srnity: HAPPY THANKSGIVING, I wonder what percentage of animal lovers are vegans?
or,if there is a conflict of interest present if an animal lover also loves meat

Jim Dandy:  No conflict here.  Some animals I love on my lap, others my plate  ;)  Happy Thanksgiving!

Animal: I agree,I think we avoid eating animals we interact with,and I can't remember ever playing with a cow or pig.

Ewe: I admire your restraint,it's more difficult if you actually enjoyed eating meat prior.I can tell you that the taste of mass marketed meat has been on the decline for years.

Jim Dandy: that restraint was only at first & partly habit etc. Once I was fully weened from meat mentally it has been incredibly easy. Weird aswell, because the longer you dont eat meat for the more repulsed you become by the sheer thought of eating it. I found this common with a majority of veggie folk Ive chatted with.
Yes & you saying about the taste in mass produced meat being in decline, I have heard that alot....I think more people who eat red meat are turning to organic, small farming methods for better taste etc.

Jim Dandy: Hi I am an animal lover, I am also a vegetarian. I chose to go veggie because I wanted to opt out of the meat industry & the all of the cruely aspects surrounding it.
Also I could not kill or prepare an animal myself so why have some one else do my dirty work?
I love the taste of meat though....from what I remember, such a long time ago now since Ive eaten any, probably about 20 years! I remember craving it for a couple of years after first becoming veggie but never now.

Ewe:  I eat mostly fish or chicken.  But the wife has me eating lots of veggie meals too.  She's not a vegitarian but often she won't eat the meat.  So since she's the cook, I eat what I'm told.
