I had always stuck my head in the sand when people talked about the conditions animals were living in because...well, meat tasted good! Growing up, I am pretty sure meat was served at every meal. No meat = not a proper meal, in fact. <br /><br />Anyway, I've also been an animal lover, too, and so finally, I decided I can't just turn a blind eye and continue to be part of the problem. Also like yourself, I started to think of the health benefits, too. My parents both passed from complications due to diabetes and cancer, and I needed to change. <br /><br />It isn't always easy, but for me the trick is to eat a large variety and explore different ethnic foods. There are some amazing dishes out there that I would never have discovered had I continued on my big meat fest, and I am happy about that. <br /><br />Continued good luck and good health!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
