[quote=Anonymous]We realized that the raising, care,  butchering and slaughtering of animals, combined with the horrific farming practices that are really lethal were something that  just seemed normal  and thar really made us think how society dictates norms in the face of all of it. We are so disconnected to the food on our plate, that it does seem like what it is. Compartmentalization. I was about 48 when I became a vegetarian and immediately never regretted not eating meat.

Until you slaughter an animal yourself,  don't put it on your plate.

Secondly,  there is so much illness from bad farming- animal waste runoff contaminating plants we eat, bad practices like  poor feeding causing  dusease like Mad Cow ( we lived right zwhere ground zero was for that in England- and yes, was eating meat then), hormones in meat and milk ( * wondering about all this earlier age cancers ?)
Lastly,  the environmental impact is stunningly abhorrent.

You don't need meat. You really do not, and you will not regret giving it up. It's all old cultural norms,  and we should know that by now.
