What are your feelings about eating meat?

This is an interesting question from WordPress today. What are your feelings about eating meat?

I have been a vegetarian for nearly 40 years. I decided to make the change when I was 18 for health reasons and I have not looked back.

For me personally, I just feel my body runs better when I eat vegetarian meals. As a child meat did not agree with me and I often was sick after eating it.

So what do I eat as a vegetarian? I eat mainly a lacto- vegetarian diet which includes fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds and dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt.

In saying I am vegetarian, I am not one of those people who judges people for eating meat. We all have to eat the things that we enjoy and make us feel healthy. For me it is vegetarian food.
