Stay on topic please, if you CAN. 
GAA! I don't want to fake argue with you, Sugar! (I just can't do it long, can I! . I was lacto-ovo vegetarian for many years, and I know some of the reasons going vegan can be difficult or a concern. It took me several years to do switch to a vegan diet even after I realized that people kill the millions of male chicks who are the brothers of the egg-laying hens. Even after I knew that veal calves are not allowed contact with each other and then are killed, just so I could enjoy ice cream.
But seriously, Sugar, have you considered veganism and why or why not? Do you look at it in this way: ovo-lacto vegetarianism doesn't directly involve killing the animals at that moment, although, of course, people eventually kill the egg-laying hens and cows? |
It's not like that at all.
I'd love to be vegan.
But it's difficult when you're in college, and when you go home and everyone eats meat.
When I have my own place and make my own money and buy my own food, I'll consider it.
I really do care about animals.
P.S. Did I say my sister became a vegetarian? [=
