I am a vegetarian, but not a vegan though I will be for health reasons. If someone needs to hunt for food well that's fine. I would rather someone who is hungry hunt their own meat than buy that processed crap in the stores.

What's the difference between being a vegan and and vegetarian?

Watch out for iron deficiency anemia. You may want to consider iron supplements.

I was a vegetarian for years when my kids were young, and am migrating towards that again, only eating fish. Anyway, I basically used to shop at small organic food coops and remember being completely horrified by meat in the butchers section in the grocery store I would visit on rare occassions. However this sensibility disappeared once I reverted back to a meat based lifestyle.
Neither of my children have ever gone hunting, although they have game fished. As long as the meat is used as food, I sort of think hunting offers a true respect for the life of the animal that you don't get from buying a steak.

I like dogfishing. You sit on the edge of a tall building with a fishing pole, and bait a hook with meat. When you get a strike, reel it in. But be sure to only catch as many as you intend to eat.
