I have very distinct feelings about eating meat. From research, study, and personal observation, it should be eaten sparingly, if at all, for the good of the land, as well as human and animal health. The global livestock industry effects dwindling supplies of freshwater, destroys forests and grasslands, causes soil erosion, while pollution and the runoff of fertilizer and animal waste create dead zones in coastal areas and smother coral reefs (Google). Over consumption of anything causes harm and unfortunately for the past 20+ years we’ve lived in the land of ‘All You Can Eat’ buffets.

We must be the change we want in the world. My favorite words of wisdom😊. So, for my part, I eat veggies, eggs and dairy, with fish, as a treat, a couple times a month. I haven’t eaten meat for over 22 years. I have nothing against those who do, most of my family included, but we all must educate ourselves, and realize our actions impact the world.
