If you're vegan because you feel that meat is murder and animals serve no other purpose than to peacefully coexist, then I have a problem. Explain tofurkey and vegan bacon and such if you're such a non-meat person. Good post. If you’re a vegetarian for perceived health benefits, I support you.

People in this country are simply afraid of change or differences. I live in the mountains, a very rural location, surrounded by a big state forest, have to drive on dirt roads to get to where I live, heat with a woodstove etc...basically the definition of a 'woodsman', but I'm a vegetarian. It's simply a choice or preference, no big mystical thing about it. I do it for health reasons & personal reasons of taste too. To learn about what you're putting in your mouth, I'd suggest you watch, "Fast Food Nation". I do love the other type of meat you mentioned & my husband has it in a LARGE abundance, so I'm not deprived in that regard at all. For all you lovers of your own personal meat, better watch how much animal flesh you consume that is if you want to maintain good vascular health & still have the ability to produce your own big hard redwood!

In fact I love it... Chicken, Pork, Fish, and the very occasional real beef burger... (not so big on steaks) But the favorite... I have to say is the blood engorged tube steak... Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner...

LOL, there are two vegetarian-only restaurants in my neighborhood. And we have quite a few veggie friends. Don't forget the Pescatarians...they are vegetarians that will eat seafood! Unfortunately I grew up with a father who was a part-time butcher, so we always had a side of beef in the freezer. Oh yeah, and the bf grew up on a farm where they regularly slaughtered the family pet. So neither of us have any problems with killing and cooking of meat. Although we don't eat as much Red meat as we did growing up! Although I do like fresh veggies. Brussels sprouts are my favorite veggie roasted with pecans and BACON! Now about the other White meat......Well I could chew on that for a lonnnnnng time! “that’s in hippie communes and artsy west-coast-politically-correct-green-cities” …Why, what do you mean by this?
