I was vegan for a short while, but I missed things like cheese, yogurt and ice cream. I haven't drank real milk in years, I think almond milk is better.)<br /><br />I became a vegetarian because I thought that the way animals are treated for meat (and sometimes milk) is terrible. When I do buy dairy I try to pick local brands.<br /><br />Occasionally I do crave things I used to love like sushi or omlets but it passes. I feel so much better when I don't eat meat. But the thing about being a vegetarian is that you have to be willing to cook, which I think turns people off.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826716134008160506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-65865744853174856742011-08-12T21:39:12.476+01:002011-08-12T21:39:12.476+01:00Lots to comment here! First, I freakin' LOVE ...Lots to comment here! First, I freakin' LOVE your non-practising veganism. Hahaha, made me crack up. Emotionally, I'm RIGHT there with you. But, similar to you, I eat meat ALMOST every day. (I might eat red meat once every two weeks...but tend to eat quite a bit of chicken).<br /><br />Now, here's the thing about vegetarianism...cuz I could NEVER be VEGAN. Man, I lurrrvvee cheese. Cheese, french bread, mind erasers and I'm content. But I WAS a vegetarian for almost ten years. From 10 - 21. But then, I woke up and I was craving a cheeseburger like there was no business. I mean, hard core. And I tried to resist. But I couldn't and I didn't and I chowed and here I am 14 years later still eating meat.<br /><br />And I hate HATE what they do to animals. I mean, hello...I had half of my anatomy class in high school walk out because we were dissecting a cat. Ewww! <br /><br />Animal brutality is AWFUL. And totally unacceptable. I guess I ease my mind because I make a point in purchasing free-ranged chickens and kosher beef. Is that real? Who knows. I tell myself it is.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749333368560606659noreply@blogger.com
