Thanks.

In fact, I read this post out loud to Scott. As you know, I've often flirted with being vegetarian, but Scott has NEVER even considered it. Yet, since working with noisy chickens! he has suddenly had to face the reality of where his food comes from. People don't link real life smart funny chickens to the meat they buy pre-packed. We are currently staying at a vegetarian hotel so obviously our hosts have talked about their beliefs with us. We have come to the conclusion that in the UK you don't have to face 'where your food comes from' you can sort of ignore it. But when you are faced with it, well, that's the test - isn't it. I think the fact that we have not eaten meat in 7 weeks proves that. In all honestly, I doubt I will eat it again and I would even go so far as to say that I'm not sure if Scott will either. I am an animal-lover and I don't want to be seen as that person who loves some, but not all. I wouldn't serve Milla up as a Sunday roast, so why would I any other animal?
