I hummus, therefore I am ...
My bottom line these days after falling off a 20-plus year vegan wagon (apart from the odd blue cheese temptation), is only to eat things I'm prepared to catch and dispatch myself occaisionally ...
LOL

I was a vegaquarian (not sic) for 15 years. Piece of piss. All depends on why you're not eating meat. For me it was battery farming etc, so prawns weren't a moral dilemma.
Environmental groups have uncovered a catalogue of abuses
associated with prawn farming, including rape, arson and murder.
In over ten producing countries opponents of prawn farms have
been killed by persons reportedly acting on behalf of shrimp
farm operators. In Bangladesh, a major exporter of prawns to the UK,
over 150 people are understood to have been murdered in prawn
related conflicts.
Mangroves, coastal forests located in tropical and equatorial areas of the world, are part of these wetlands. They are presently seriously threatened. According to FAO, over 50% of the mangroves have already disappeared. Today the main cause of mangrove loss is the expansion of the shrimp industry, breeding shrimps or tropical prawns in coastal areas of poor countries to export them to rich countries such as Spain, the United States or Japan. In fact, most of the prawns found today on the market are a product of the destruction of coastal ecosystems in the countries of the South and of the displacement of local populations.

firky said:You're the second person to say that I am equally at a loss as to why, I really did it because meat makes me feel lethargic and bloated: the way you feel after eating far too much pasta and garlic bread. I ended up knocking meat on the head largely because of this and also because I do prefer the taste of veg to meat. (Fillet of dexter beef aside).
