GMO- genetically modified organism.

LOL! Someone answered that already, but it really is something everyone should be aware of and make their own choices. I personally could care less what another person eats. Now if you are mean to me? That is a whole other Orpah.

I could also care less what a persons faith is. No sense bringing a knife to a gun fight.

I sure like the buffets at the Hare Krishna put on. But I'm passionately addicted to cheese and bacon. I don't want GMO anything .... But wouldn't it be neat if we could breed those chickens that they "turned on" dormant genes and they grew reptilian tails and teeth. I'd love to have a miniature T-rex free ranging with the neighbor's dogs....

Whatever you eat, Love it and bless it from start to finish. Water too. If you eat food you detest, it is poison. I'm sticking with it.

I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I have made some conscious decisions about the meat that I do eat. I no longer eat meat that has been grown anywhere I haven't been able to see it grow and know exactly how it died. I will eat chickens from my own backyard and we buy beef by the side from a local farm that is also boarding our dairy cow that I milk once a week (we share the cow with others who also come and milk on their days). We, of course, have eggs from our birds, butter and some cheese from the dairy cow (when I find the time to make it), honey from our bees, and we grow as much of our own produce as I can manage. We actually just had a large tree taken out of our front yard today (it was a hard decision to make but it was damaging our property and we felt the space could be put to better use as a veg garden), to make room for more raised beds to grow produce. We have six fruit trees on our property and I try to can a lot of what we grow. Basically, I don't care for how food is grown commercially and we are trying to source as much organically raised, local food as we can.

I eat meat, couldnt live without it. However, I wont eat meat from the store, only locally grown if I dont grow it myself.

I think being a vegan has the potential to give you a better quality of life but not a longer one. True vegans have a very hard time healing bones. Statistically vegans have no higher or lower cancer rates when all the contributing factors are figured in. They do develop autoimmune issues slightly higher than non-vegans.

LOL!! Why do you assume that vegans have a better quality of life than meat eaters?
