(2,566 posts)I'm a "mostly" vegetarian. Probably go meatless 90 % of the time. Great health benefits have come from it. And I train with weights 6 days a week (nothing heavyweight, I'm a woman who's looking to just sculpt and tone, not get huge, the highest I go is 10 pounds dumb bells but that'll get you pretty darn toned and strong). But that 10% of the time I want meat, I eat the real thing...much better for you than the processed crap that's tofurkey or other meat substitutes. And I do love animals. Hunting isn't something I could EVER do but I don't have a problem with it as along as it's done with respect for the animals and the earth. Native Americans hunted buffalo and they greatly revered and respected these animals for providing them with food and warmth. And I know many hunters who feel the same way. (Just don't post pictures of your kills on facebook please, that upsets a lot of people).
