It’s complicated

What are your feelings about eating meat?

When I was a little girl, my father used to hunt, mostly deer, but I still remember the corpse of a bear he killed hanging in our garage and dripping blood onto my bicycle seat .I have always been an animal lover and am quite sensitive about killing them unless it’s lessening their suffering . I didn’t eat anything that my father killed. I just couldn’t.

The older I get, the less meat I eat. I get weird thoughts from time to time that prevent me from eating types of meats. I have gone vegetarian several times in my life, and my digestion is the best during those times. Because this year has been about trying to improve my health, I’ve added raw vegetables to my diet and fresh fruits. But I haven’t given up meat entirely. While I don’t eat much red meat or pork unless it’s ground, I still enjoy chicken, which I justify because I’m terrified of birds.  I use collagen powder from several sources in my smoothies a couple of times a week to make sure I’m getting enough protein .
