For almost 7 years, I ate no meat.

I almost pity ‘vegans’ now because I cannot over-emphasize the terrible physical changes from a no meat diet.

You become weird, spacy, ‘floaty’ and believe wonderfully stupid things without question.

I suspect your brain starts to die off due to lack of proper nourishment.

There are those who say I ‘did it wrong’.

Not so.

I took all the supplements, vitamins and so forth and balanced my amino acids like a chemist.

I still ‘went wonky’.

It’s unnatural.

I would not try and feed my snakes potatoes nor would I subject my dogs to a vegetarian diet.

That is cruelty.

Many years ago at the local fair, we ran across a Dobe who was ‘not owned’ (?) by two stupid hippies who were feeding him a vegan diet.

He ran loose at the fair, scarfing up every little fragment of meat he could find.

Hot dogs, burgers, sausages...anything that missed the trash can toss.

We bought him several burgers of his own and when we left, we *almost* had him out the gate when one of the hippies called him back and poor malnourished, loyal dog listened.

Even the gate-cop who’d watched all this looked sad.

Nothing he could do about it, though.

I love animals.
I feel bad that I must eat them.

I despise vegans who inflict their madness on their pets.

You were a liberal? ;)

We’re thinking about feeding a BARF diet, along with some dry food. Our breeder is feeding Bone And Raw Food (BARF) and dry food to our new puppy to be, and we’re not only thinking of continuing that, but switching our other dogs to it.

The dry food we feed does not contain grain. I’ve never done the vegetarian diet, but it has never made sense to me, either.

We ate fish and chicken...just not red meat, pretty much.

I ate eggs...and ice cream. ha!! Never drank milk, still don't....but I do eat cheese. Love it!! Ha!!

I've now evolved some....I will buy and eat a nice steak now and again, ( maybe 4-6 times a year...)...and I eat a lot of venison...when available.

Some good substitutes for proteins out there...beans and rice...make a good one.
