Actually I ate meat twice that year. It was easier than trying to explain why I was'nt eating meat. My wife has been a vegetarian for about 25 years and there is noone I admire more than her.
The reason I went meatless is because at the time I was working at the Snake Farm. A reptile zoo in TX. We had the classic postage stamp collection I have no idea how many animals we had but we had a lot. During feeding season we would feed probably 500 rats and 2000 mice and maybe 50 rabbits a week.
We bought live we fed stunned/killed. So about my third year there killing(or stunning) all these rodents and rabbits started to get to me. I also had about 30 big snakes at home. I felt like every time I turned around I was killing something. The snakes, monitors,snappers and crocs were going to eat meat they had no choice. But I did. So I stopped eating meat.
When I was a kid(the 60's) every week my Mom would make what she called a peasant dinner. A big pot of pinto beans and cornbread.
No meat. Cutting meat from one meal saved money more importantly my Mom wanted us to know the majority of the worlds population did'nt have meat once a day.
BTW Anytime Ted chickenhawk Nugent is on your side you have already lost the fight. Besides being a draft dodger he's also a loser. I don't know of of one hunter in my area that has ANY respect for him. He shot a huge tame Red Deer through a fence.
A magnificent animal used for stud. People could walk straight up to the deer and take photos within a few feet.
Chickenhawk shot him with a bow through the fence. D.C.
