I'm a life long vegetarian. But that's not how I classify myself currently. Right now - I don't eat any factory farmed food. Nothing that was produced by industrial agriculture. If you choose to do this, it becomes incredibly expensive to obtain animal products. Even when organically produced, animal products consume a good deal more of the earth's resources. I do not have the money for animal products, nor do I have the time to go hunting (or the inclination, since I've never had meat in my life). I am also a nutrition educator and understand that it IS indeed necessary at certain stages of life to have chemical precursors from animal products. Unfortunately, predicting which an individual needs is incredibly difficult.
I think it's personal, in the end. Personally, internally, radically, when I'm not counseling patients on their diet or talking to my friends - I think that blood addiction is an interesting and terrible phenomenon and definitely the world would be a different place without it.
