As you know I tried being vegan, and this lasted for 5 months (I think 9 months vegetarian). But I found myself eating unhealthily, i.e. I wasn't eating enough calories and wasn't getting enough nutrients and variety. I may end up going vegan when I get older and when it's more convenient, but for now I shouldn't rob myself of enjoying food!
I just find it hard to believe you'd eat the flesh of birds people have killed! I thought you liked birds!
A couple weeks back, one of my co-workers was telling me about how he used to work on a chicken farm. He told me some stories from it, and wow, they were horrible. When they wanted to harvest them, they'd go through the barn at nick grabbing them by their legs. He described to me how it felt/sounded when their legs were snapping and bending and the chicken was pecking him in horror. It was unbelievable!
(And incidentally, this guy isn't a vegetarian or anything, and had no reason to embellish the story)
