I am vegaterian, and I dont like to push my views onto anyone else, but I have alot of respect for vegans. I also have alot of respect for people that hunt their own meat and eat organic meat, it is much healther and the animals on organic farms for the most part are treated much better.
Alot of people dont realize the enviromental affects of eating meat, one pound of hamburger requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce which could grow 50 pounds of fruits and vegies. It takes 12 pounds of grain (8 loafs of bread or 24 plates of spaghetti) to produce 1 pound of hamburger. 1 pound of beef that comes from the rainforest destroys about 660 pounds of living matter which includes 20-30 plant species and over 100 insect species, and many reptiles, birds, and even mammals.
I am not saying it is wrong to eat meat, I just think there should be some respect for those who choose not to.
