		<description>:3 I like this and I agree being vegetarian is healthier in its own way but some people just respond to meat better i want to be a vegan but fish is a big part of my family/cultures diet and I dont think I would be able to give up fish (I will try giving up everything else though) and while I agree cows, pigs, and chickens aren&#039;t the nicest looking animals around they&#039;d still want to live if given the chance think about it this way we kill animals for even thinking about attacking us (ie: dog biting child for pulling on ear or &quot;attacking&quot; dog) said animal gets taken out back for final walk but if a human beats the poor animal often the animal is either taken away, ignored or becomes hateful and killed because there deemed unsafe I complealy agree to stop eating animal flesh(other than fish because I dont want to stop eating fish) and also I may not beleve in god I do agree that those who preach about god and his/her/its creations and how you should love them and then go and slaughter an animal is a hypocrite</description>

		<description>Yawn, another &#039;stop killing cute cows for food&#039; blog. Cows are here to be eaten. There is nothing unethical about being the meat eating human being you were born to be.</description>

		<description>I understand the many arguments for a vegetarian or vegan diet. However, I also know many farmers. They are not in their line of work for pure profit - dairy farmers take a loss on every gallon of milk produced. They work hard to balance efficiency with their love of animals in order to be able to feed their families. In my personal life, I was vegetarian for over a year and ate no beef for six years. However, I felt tired and weak much of the time - despite being careful to monitor my protein and iron intake. For some reason, my body responded better to meat. In addition, my husband is a hunter in order to prevent wild game from starving to death or dying of disease in the woods, and that meat is an integral part of our diets in order for those lives not to be wasted. It is the natural order. It&#039;s not pretty, but sometimes it&#039;s necessary.</description>

		<description>10 years ago I tried being a vegetarian. I was succesfull for 6 months. I lost a lot of weight, felt great, etc. I had something bad happen and fell into a depression and decided who cares and started eating meat again. 

I am trying again, today is day 1. Wish me luck</description>

		<description>I find it very difficult to give up meat completely - there is just something to be said about the delicious aroma of the Christmas turkey or combo #6 from Wendy&#039;s. I find the all of the environmental conditions surrounding the meat industry appalling and disgusting...but I still eat meat rarely. I would call myself a Flexitarians. Flexitarians adhere to a mostly vegetarian diet because it&#039;s a healthy lifestyle rather than because of ideology. They feel an occasional meal that includes fish, fowl or meat is acceptable. It is hard to change an entire lifestyle and maybe someday I will give up meat totally but for now I am choosing to be a compassionate meat eater. 
If the government had laws surrounding the lives and treatment of these delicious little creatures then I would not have to feel overwhelming guilt or revulsion when I eat meat. If the &#039;people&#039; who are suppose to look out for our wellbeing did their jobs instead off lining their already golden pockets then we would all be in a better place.</description>
