I’m not a medical expert so I’m not going to question what you said. I know people in person who claim that they cannot go vegan because of a nut allergy or something similar so that is what I was referring to earlier.

My reaction is because of my background. I grew up in a family that raised livestock. All throughout childhood I had these books that taught me to think of animals as friends. I liked to play with the chickens. And then one day they would be gone. For me it might as well have been grandma being taken out back and shot.

Still, it took until I was 25 before I went vegan. It finally occurred to me that I couldn’t justify eating meat. I still cannot justify it, under any circumstances. So I am left with a feeling of understanding, yes, but the horror will always be there. I’m an emotional person.
