You're not a failure Kay, so please kick that idea out of your head. Changing you life style is not easy.

I eat very little red meat. I just don't like it. But will eat a hamburger every 6 months or so. I do eat chicken and tuna and cheese and eggs and the like.

I look at it this way: I didn't kill the animal, I didn't ask for it to be killed, but if it's not eaten, it will have given its life for nothing. That would indeed be sad.
