Copmassionate Eater

A personal story in the experience: I Am a Vegetarian
I have been a vegetarian on and off.  I lived in countries where it was hard to be just because there were not enough healthy food choices. Then I read a book by Jane Goodall called Harvest of Hope and did more research and I now eat mostly organic. I live in the midwest and though I first felt it was just impossible to find organic free range animals, I have looked around, talked to people and found some.  So now my husband and I enjoy organic, cage free eggs, milk and cheese whenever we want but also turkey and chicken a few times a month because we KNOW they come from a place where they were raised humanely, fed the right food and cared for the way they are supposed to.


In the conclusion, animal treatment and environmental issues are what drives my eating choices.
