My nephew's family was halfway there - no beef, pork or chicken if I understand correctly. They have six kids, some with dietary restrictions because of allergies, so they do a lot of fresh food and very little processed food. And anyway, that was his big announcement this summer.
But p.s. after I wrote that I realized that he might only have said "vegetarian" ... and I don't know if that's the same as vegan.
I recently became vegan (for ethical reasons) and realized that it's much easier than I previously anticipated it would be.So that puts a smile on my face. I'm wondering what those who post here think of veganism.
And, if anyone has any questions about the lifestyle, feel free to ask!
@ thanatos - You think I'm an idiot for talking about other sources of protein? Well, you're entitled to your opinion so I won't say anything more about it to you if you don't wish me to. I only want to share with people who want to learn. Like I said, I will never be pushy with someone if they disagree with my lifestyle choice. Live and let live.
@ gallantwarrior - Thanks for the nice words.
PETA represents a group of arrogant assholes who want things their way, now. No exceptions. As stated, I am a hunter. I have my reasons. Given their way, the people of PETA would eliminate what is basically part of my spiritual relationship with the world I live in. The relationship between vegans/vegetarians/PETA is in some way like one of the questions on the GREs with those intersecting circles...all PETA members are vegans, but all vegans are not PETA members.
While I don't like anything being killed, HUNTING is ten million times more humane than buying meat in a supermarket (that was raised, tortured and slaughtered in a disgusting factory farm).
I have much more respect for a hunter who goes for a swift and painless kill (via bullet) than someone who works in a factory farm and inhumanely treats animals before killing them. Props to you for that.
