I went lacto-ovo-vegetarian last August, for health reasons and a little bit of ethics. It just seems silly to kill the animals when you can eat the protein through eggs and dairy and be healthier for it. I try to get free-range eggs and dairy as much as possible, with no luck on the dairy thus far. I also have no trouble wearing leather, oddly enough. If the cows MUST be killed, at least use all of the cow. Yeah, I just really like leather. Oh well. My resolution is to keep going Vegetarian another year. I miss meat occasionally, but it's lessening and I feel better without it.
