This is wonderful - I came to this forum because I am searching for a MB counselor in my area but am pleasantly surprised to find discussions of this caliber and the diverse nature of the threads. I am a vegan - vegetarian for most of my life but vegan for only a handful of years - and am very passionate about the way I have chosen to live. Having said this, I am reticent to "preach" or even discuss this choice because the topic can at times elicit defensive reactions on the part of meat eaters and I really don't want to make anyone feel "attacked" by the non meat eaters of the world. I absolutely embrace diversity and think that everyone should follow the path in life that is right for them - not anyone else. My veganism is a personal choice and makes me incredibly happy for a great number of reasons and if someone is genuinely interested in this choice, I honestly do love to talk about it, just not unsolicited. I work hard at being as non-judgemental as I possibly can and even though it makes me sad to know that so many animals have to suffer and die so that people can enjoy a meal, it is not my place to tell anyone how to live their life or what is right for them.
