Hi Florentine,

I an ethical lacto ovo vegetarian. Occasionally I feel like some non-veg food

But as someone else said, if it was put in front of me I would probably throw

up.

I was never a big meat eater as a child But both my parents were big meat

eaters and I gradually started eating red meat, but I was never a big meat

eater. I had been thinking of going vegetarian for some time and decided to omit

red meat entirely, and just eat chicken and fish. Then middle of last year I was

on holidays and there was a strapping young man who had become vegetarian

(ethical reasons). And I thought, well if he can do it I certainly can.

If people want to eat meat they should at least find out were it comes from. I

can't bear the thought of how some animals are treated. I watched a show the

other night and it was about how chickens are treated, and it was appalling. But

they also showed an organic farmer and his chickens (and pigs) were allowed to

run free and enjoy a good life. Everything has to die, it is the life they live

in between that bothers me.

So now I try to find organic eggs (certified), because in Australia they can say

" cage free " , or whatever they like, and it means nothing.

 

Good luck and just do what you are comfortable with. If people only ate meat 3

time a week it would make a huge difference.
