Absolutely loved your post, Little Minnie. I could never name an animal, get to know it's personality, and then look it in the eye and murder it.
There was a very good article written by a man, (maybe I can dig up the website), that put everything into perspective for me.
For many years (10 to be exact), I traveled, wrote, and worked undercover for an agency that investigated animal cruelty. The 10 years that I spent doing this was more like 20. The emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical toll it took on me was incredible. I had to stop for my sanity.
I tried turkey burgers again recently, but threw them up. All I could see was the image embedded in my mind, of what I had witnessed and I knew I could never and I mean never go back. I am not proud to say that, but if anything, I am honest. I guess I was feeling a bit like you, so limited in the IBS diet, but that was not the answer for me. I was so used to eating tons of veggies, but now I have to limit that.
It is true, it is not for everyone. That is why we live in America, freedom of choice. It's great to have that right. I can only speak from my perspective.
I will try to find that website and I will post it for you. It was nice chatting with you.
