but I know I really crossed over when I became involved in animal rights. I remember knowing a kid who was from a family of vegetarians when I was a child and he was like a martian from outerspace. I have a couple of nieces and nephews who are vegetarian of their own volition, not coming from their parents, and I think that is so wonderful. I am considering becoming a vegan now, getting exposed to how dairy cattle are treated.
