Thanks for your kind words. I do worry about where my meat comes from, and I try to only buy organic but sometimes I slip up because of costs. My personal belief is that eating meat is not immoral in and of itself; but factory farming practices which treat the animals like products and not living, feeling creatures are absolutely immoral.

I actually think hunting an elk with one quick and clean shot, butchering it, and storing and eating the meat is a more moral practice than going to the supermarket for a lb. of ground beef wrapped in plastic, and shipped from who-knows-where in an 18 wheeler burning diesel fuel into the environment thus causing global warming. I very much respect people who cannot allow themselves to eat meat, though. I think it's something one has to seriously consider. :hi:

Anyway, if you've heard about Peak Oil, you'll know that people will need to stop eating meat because it will be too expensive to produce and ship in a few years. I've stopped eating red meat, because of mad cow disease.

Wow, this got to be a long post. I was afraid it would - vegetarianism can be a tricky/scary topic. :-)
