I've been a vegetarian for a few years now. And it's not because I think it's wrong to eat animals, I just think the way the commercial systems runs is wrong. I don't agree with the treatment of the animals. At my house I only buy free range and organic dairy and eggs because while I agree it doesn't hurt a cow to milk it, large dairies do abuse their cows. So I prefer to buy from smaller companies. I grew up as a farm kid, we had our vegetable garden would eat chickens and lambs and goats that came from our farm. And I don't see a problem with it because the animals are treated well, they are given a good life. But I think it's natural to eat meat, it's just something that I choose not to do for my own reasons.
