I was a vegetarian for a while (about 4-5 years). I was a vegan for a while (less than a year). I am just more health aware now. If I eat meat I try to eat free range meats without hormones, but I can't deny an occasional burger from a fast food joint, which I am sure is not free range. I make it a point to not think negative thoughts when I eat; attitude is one of the biggest health destroyers, and it really does help to not overendulge in any one thing. Its all about balance. Eatting a steak is great, but the ruffage (ie. lettuce, spinach, greens) help it to pass through the colon properly. Red meat can settle in the colon for years, (this is a fact). We are what we eat, cliche, I know, but it is true.
