<p>I was vegetarian for 2 years and vegan for a year. So allow me to comment on vegetarianism, not necessarily try to dissuade you...</p> <p>I surfed on the idea that yes, we are the only species that can make the conscious decision to not eat meat. But it is equally true that we are the first that can supply animals not only with a healthy life with their natural foods and free range, but also a quick, pain-free death. I envy this from any animal. They're going to die anyway, and in my opinion better than from the ruthlessness of nature and Darwinian struggle for existence. There are many sustainable farms that provide these things for them, and in that I found peace and appreciate the compassion. Just don't buy from factory farms, which is what paleo dieters encourage anyway.</p> <p>Really think about it, and if you're still not convinced, drop legumes and all meat substitutes as well as dairy and grains, and just get over sugar. Hope you don't get sick of eggs :)</p>
