My brother and sister are strict vegetarians. I slip.

We bottle fed our calves (their moms were our milk cows) and we became very emotionally attached. It shocked our souls when we came in from school and found our bigger, formerly bottle fed calves gone and big piles of red meat lying on the kitchen table being cut up and wrapped for the freezer. "No, I will not eat my pet friend. Not ever." My siblings have stuck to that all their lives.

I slip. I mainly eat chicken, fish, and seafood. Good, yummy seafood is easily found now that I live on the coast.
