This is the confusing part to me. I actually don't consume a ton of meat. And I haven't had any beef in about 6 years. I ate a beyond meat burger a few weeks ago and couldn't even swallow it. It tasted exactly like beef...or from what I remember it to taste like haha. Made me feel sick actually. I was convinced they screwed up and served me beef. I don't get why a vegan would be into that. Im not vegan and I cannot stomach it.
don't eat beef by choice?
Yes. Because I am crazy about my cows. Ill be honest that's what it is.
Years ago I got a call from a friend that he had a cow in his trailer that was about to be slaughtered that was dripping milk. I drove down, bought her, she calved the next day. Very sickly calf. I had to take it from her to care for. She lost her mind, jumped 3 barbwire fences, got hit by a car and we had to shoot her. I guess the reason it hit me hard, not to get too personal on here, but I had just lost a baby late in pregnancy. I took it all personally. And I have not eaten beef since and I still have that calf of hers, which is now a big fat pet steer.
Still cook my husband steak weekly tho.
But, that experience was actually what got me into really loving cattle. To me its about making a difference. I want to do things differently so that's what ive been doing.
