Not a problem - I know for me it's the killing of another living thing to eat it. It's not a necessity to survive or even thrive, and I can look towards eating other things that provide my body the same as, say, a chicken or fish would.

The "thing" that finally pushed me over the edge was deboning a salmon. I have a friend who is native, and I was able to buy a full salmon for $10. Problem is that it needed to be deboned, and also still had its head on it.

The entire process pushed me in an avenue I was already travelling, and it became clear that eating animals was not what I ever wanted to do again, if I could at all help it. I love all animals (well, maybe not spiders or mosquitos ) and I personally see no need to kill them for food, or have them killed for me.

Does that help a bit?
