I go back and forth between vegan/vegetarian, since I do take krill oil, eat occasional fish, and have an egg white sometimes. But, I do buy my eggs from the Amish farm, so I have some kind of idea how the hens are treated.
Remember those darn scallops (on the pot for 1 hour). Didn't even make it in time. Straight out of bed and BAM!!!!! OMG. Good thing no one was around. Now, that has NEVER happened to me before.
I don't eat the meat only because of the animals. There is a BIG love there, for me. I do remember my burgers, steaks, and fried chicken, though.
I hope ShannonL gives it a try and see how it works for her.
