I worked in a slaughter house/processing plant for a couple of years.  I
have no issues eating meat.  There are a couple of types of processed meat
I would not eat after smelling what they smell like being cooked/processed,
but they are types I would likey not have eaten anyway.

However, I respect others and their dietary choices.

I invite you both to check out the FIDO COOKING echo.  If you mention you
are vegan, I am sure there will be plenty of recipes offered up.  ;)
