Actually I haven't eaten meat in 6 1/2 years. We were raising the rabbits for manure and to sell locally...try to provide a better meat and not mcdonalds. For me it got too much. If I don't need to eat it...i didn't need to raise it to die. I would never tell anyone how to live, be or eat. I am 6 '5 260lbs, with zero signs of anything negative you hear about vegans. I am a huge advocate of people eating responsibly. Knowing where your food comes from and how it is raised...meat and veg.
