I also have a difficult time eating meat because of the revulsion of eating a dead animal and because I feel guilty contributing to the meat-processing industry. BUT I do eat chicken regularly! I would like to stop being a hypocrite and eliminate meat from my diet completely. However, if I take such steps, logic tells me that I should really go all the way and avoid all animal by-products (leather, dairy, chicken broth, etc.)as well. Kachuma expressed my dilemma perfectly by writing, "I'm not a vegetarian/vegan because I don't know how to draw the line". I guess I'd have to read some of the vegan promotional literature or take a class! Becoming a vegan is a really a tricky issue and I believe it takes a lot of careful thought, determination, and a thorough understanding of how to do it right.
