In an interesting twist, I have to return to eating meat after being a vegetarian since around 2006 (and it& #39;s not a debate, neither with the #vegetarian community or the #abled community) it& #39;s literally a matter of science (and science does not care, at all, about your feelings).
My body, unfortunately, requires a ridiculous amount of protein, and a very small amount of carbohydrates, and other nutrients that cannot be satiated on a plant based diet alone; additionally, with my disabilities, there are certain plants I cannot eat (they inflame my system)
So, in 2020, I am going to do me. It& #39;s not really where I saw myself headed, it& #39;s not where I want to be, but lacking the financial resources to eat the way I would like to, and in order to handle the various chronic illnesses which I experience, it& #39;s time to try a new track.
While I have never been a proselytizing vegetarian, I had always thought that since Humans could reason, the "higher plane" (speciesist, I know) that logically the more moral thing to do was be vegetarian.
If 2020 has taught me anything, it& #39;s that Humans, in no way, have any moral authority in the Animal Kingdom...so I& #39;m going to make like a lion, and eat a gazelle...for my own health, and so I can live to fight fascism another day.
