3. This isn't why I stopped eating meat...

but it is one of the many reasons I continue to not eat meat. I can't say it is easy I was a meat eater for decades and love it. But, in January my youngest informed me she was going to be a vegan and she wanted support, translated that means making vegan meals several times a week. I compromised and told her I would go vegetarian and just not put cheese in her food. Long story short, she quit after just a few weeks. I did some research in the mean time and things and phrases like Pink Slime, Meat Glue, Growth Hormones and Antibiotics popped up so I decided I would just continue to look for vegetarian options, one day I hope I will go full vegan, but I am still working on adjusting to no meat.
