I have been a vegetarian for almost a year, but I'm not vegan yet, although I have been slowly transitioning naturally toward vegan. (And yes, Steve, you and Erin can credit yourselves for yet another veg convert!!
)
I saw the "chicks in the grinder" story last night and it was all I could do not to throw up when I read it. I vowed right then I was never eating eggs again, and I meant it, even though I get most of my eggs from a local source.
Because of lack of choice where I live, I will be even more seriously limiting my options while eating out, but I don't care. I just cannot support that system anymore. Last night I also thought about increasingly small amounts of yogurt and cheese I still eat. Although I do my very best to source those in nonharmful ways...well, there is still harm.
I think it's high time for another 30-day trial.
