I was a vegetarian for many years. Yes, I do love animals. And no I do not
think any one animal is better in any way than another animal. I think they
are all here for a reason if to some of us it doesn't seem like a good
reason. But mainly I was a vegetarian because I realized that my stomach
felt a lot better if I didn't eat meat. I do eat some meat now because if I
don't eat it I become anemic. However I now know there is a medical reason
why I don't feel well if I eat meat and I am going to find out at the end of
this month is there is another reason why I become anemic. My dad and my
brother both have a blood disorder that is inherited.

I do know that animals suffer when we kill them for food. But thanks to my
high school biology class, I also know that plants suffer when we cut them
or pick them or burn them or any of the other things we might do to harvest
them or even make the fields ready to grow another crop.

Vegans do not have to be B-12 deficient. I was also a vegan for a brief
period of time. That to me is the best tasting food in the world! But my
stomach couldn't handle it. All vegans have to do is eat nutritional yeast.
And yes I know it is not all vegan. But there is plenty that is.
