You should have the choice to eat meat if you want. to eat vegan if you want. That is the freedom of choice that you in the US should be conveying as an example. In some parts of the world the only choice is halal, even in the UK now so think yourselves lucky. Keep it that way.
There is nothing wrong with veggies. I love them and grow a garden cuz i like em fresh.
But pinheads that think meat is murder are wackos
"the only choice is halal, even in the UK now"
Which part of the UK can't you get normal meat in? (I'm not saying you're wrong, BTW, I just haven't come across this)
