Eeek!
But the studies are talking about "red" meat only, aren't they?
I've mentioned before that I am a Vegetarian In Recovery, and that I still eat a few vegan forbidden Vegan fruits.
When I kept dairy goats they were pampered darlings, and won prizes, so the cheese made from their milk wasn't exactly vegan, was it?
"Bucky-burger" was born later, but we placed him with a rescue-farm, and he may be living still.
Heck, when Anna and Mimsey, and Romrath delivered kids and increased our dairy herd, there was so much milk coming in that I sometimes tossed rounds of cheese to the chickens, who roamed where they pleased. The chickens were more than free-roaming...they founded empires! And they layed eggs under the lawn mower when it pleased them.
But little by little I am moving toward vegan living, so wish me luck.
