After a long life of over eating meats, I've recently begun to try out being vegan, though I can't commit fully yet.
Really? Why?
It was a personal choice I felt I had to make. I disliked how so many companies treat animals like a commodity instead of living creatures. I still support eating meat, but using humane practices in any animal made product.
Ok. Meat is good. I love steak 
I agree, steak if a fantastic food, but it isn't necessary for survival. In most developed countries meat is actually secondary to survival or health. We just really love the taste!
