I think eating conscious creatures is wrong, but I still do it because it's the only easy way to get the macronutrient balance I want. Right now I've cut down to mainly chicken and fish, but I would like to be a vegetarian in the future.
That's great to hear blackfox. It's easier to make the transition gradually over time. If/when you decide to become veggie it's important that you learn about what makes a balanced vegan/vegetarian diet. Some people do the jump for ethical reasons without giving it any thought and years later are obviously deficient in something as they only ate refined trash foods. Vegan/veggie diets are not necessarily healthier, it takes time to learn about your nutrition needs but your body will thank you in the long run ; ) A couple of good websites I use: http://nutritiondata.self.com - a great resource to find plant based alternatives to anything along with detailed nutritional info. https://cronometer.com - a great tool for tracking your nutrition. Crucial in the transitional period when you're unsure if you're meeting your needs. Good luck : )
