I cringe when I think about the murder of animals. Is it hypocritical that I eat dairy and eggs? I know that getting milk from cows will not kill them, but at the end of the day, when that dairy cow stops producing milk she will be killed. I am supporting the companies that do this. I know all the animals will die eventually and they never got to live a natural life.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Environment</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">I have great concern for what we are doing to out planet.

Being vegan uses the least resources. Is this like saying I only recycle half the time?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/156409740474581462-7372983115133494123?l=methinksmuch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>stephaniebebehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04576293644893354261noreply@blogger.com0
