I dont eat meat because 1) I dont like it and 2) I can't abide the cruelty in the poultry and cattle market. I have not eaten meat for over ten years. I substitute soy protien and nuts. My diet also includes supplements for those nutrients I cannot get in a vegan diet. I am sixty years old, slim and very healthy. I often wonder why a person feels free to slaughter and eat a calf when they would protest the killing and consumption of puppies. Whether one is vegan or not, healthy eating depends on making intelligent choices.
