You are what you eat!

Ok, I consider myself a vegetarian but I hate labeling. I do know what meat tastes like, and it tastes good. I just don't want to eat it. Regardless, I will never try to convince someone to stop eating meat. Discontinuing the eating of flesh is completely individual choice, and should be made on your own and not by someone else. BUT, Andy just asked me to post about meat...so I give him, a post on meat.

Vegetarianism is the key to good health and happiness. Besides being an expression of compassion for animals, vegetarianism is followed for ecological and health rationales . Did you know that Benjamin Franklin ate tofu? Did you know that Albert Einstein advocated vegetarianism.
