The few times I have eaten meat in the past 15 years my body has gone 'blah, this is not nice'. So the question should be reversed, once you look at all the facts, why in hell do people eat meat?<br /><br />Oh and thank heavens for Haloumi.<br /><br />DubsRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344286873838114311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828542057592098210.post-10368507287929552982010-07-27T21:10:18.966+10:002010-07-27T21:10:18.966+10:00Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it.

That's the clincher for me- it's about being connected to and respecting the animals we eat (or don't!). I wonder about your journey- how did it begin- was it a queezy emotional thing that turned into an increasingly informed, well reasoned thing?spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863646883937278477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828542057592098210.post-9516409127087692142010-07-27T19:05:44.638+10:002010-07-27T19:05:44.638+10:00Since watching Food Inc., Allie and I have been mo...Since watching Food Inc., Allie and I have been more conscientious about where our food comes from. We only eat organic chicken now, and try to support local foodstuffs as much as we can.<br /><br />I'm also very happy to take down an animal if someone tells me it tastes nice.<br /><br />In my personal experience, vegetarians tend to produce quite a large amount of methane of their own* ;)<br /><br /><br />*I kid!

I do eat meat occasionally, both my housemate and mum are vegos so i am aware to the endless possibilities, but you can become complacent so easily and i like posts like this to remind me and give me a good kick up the backside!<br /><br />when i do buy meat i make an effort to choose wiseley (organic, free range, local), i could almost be vego again but i do so awfully love bacon. damn bacon. <br /><br />thanks for a great post :)<br />Pepper xpepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367937360473180606noreply@blogger.com
