I was sent this on FB and it hit home with me ,I am not a vegan but do not eat meat I am now weaning myself of other animal products ,but this just summed it all up for me as to why I chose to stop eating meat. Food for thought (pardon the pun) only posted as some people do ask what are my reasons.
