    Meat cravings

    In the beginning it was a bit challenging but now I don't crave anything outside my plant base diet. Even the smell of cooked flesh is a bit repulsive to me. I don't think of it as food anymore which has helped me move on from my old eating habit.

    There's always death in milk. The cow has to be constantly pregnant to produce milk and her offspring are usually sold for veal. Once the cow can no long become pregnant she is also killed off. Its a horrible process for something we don't need, milk is only something babies need until they...
