I've always followed what my body craves, which has served me well. Except that fish has become so expensive we hardly ever buy it anymore. My father in law sometimes goes fishing in summer which he shares. Yet who knows what those fish eat. Meat is easy and quick to prepare, tastes great and provides most of what I need.

As for morality, sure it's bad to kill another (maybe) sentient being for food. Yet compared to nature cows live a relatively relaxed safe life. Seeing them lounge in a meadow compared to the horrible squealing I sometimes hear at night along the river, ending up as roadkill, freezing or starving to death. Being spared old age or getting eaten alive doesn't seem so bad to me :/

Economically, well as long as I can afford it I'll keep eating meat. It's not that vegetables, nuts and what not are any more affordable. If meat is so much more expensive to 'make' how come a vegan lifestyle is more expensive...

Anyway, I'm not much of an adventurous eater. I always have bread with peanut butter for breakfast, and just made a big pot of macaroni yesterday I'll be eating from for a couple of days. Easy, quick, more time to play games :)
