Oh, and one more thing

I've decided to be a vegetarian. Ovo-Lacto and some Pesco.

Thinking about eating meat that comes from factory animals sicks me out, and the thing is that I didn't think about it before. Where I grew up, we slaughtered our own meat, and I never had a problem with it. But when I heard that pigs are often unstunned when they are dumped into vats of boiling water, thus drowning in boiling water, that was it. So if anything, I might eat beef or lamb on rare occasion, and probably only if I had it slaughtered myself, like I did with a lamb this year. Like my pal Kathleen says "sometimes you just wanna have a hamburger". But primarily its veggies and tofu and cheese for me. And I feel the opposite of sicked out about it.
