I'm a vegan - do you eat meat?
Yes, I eat meat. It seems necessary to survive. And I also like the taste. 
when you say necessary to survive do you mean because of all the protein in meat?  I do miss the taste of meat for sure. 
Yes! That's exactly what I mean. I find that its filling and provides all the protein needed to survive. I don't know much about veganism. Why did you choose to eat this way?
I feel that it's not right to eat any living thing.  I know people who eat meat won't eat dogs or cats - but why not?  I mean what's the cut off to what's ok and what's no ok?  So I choose not to eat any of it.  I get protein from plants but I'm aware it's not as good as from meat.  Would you ever give up meat?
I think it is possible. I have done it before for religious purposes. I don't think it would be a long-term thing. But I would then be a vegetarian. And the reason for it to be long term would probably be health-related.
Vegan is SO much harder than vegetarianism!  I sometimes go back and forth because I need the calcium from milk and eggs can be hard to avoid.  When it's just the meat part, it's a lot easier.  I also do love me some CHEESE!
Vegetarianism
Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animals processed for food.
Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons. Many people object to eating meat out of respect for sentient life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs, as well as animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural,
and fathers, need to think about this. For that reason, it would be good to decrease the amount of meat that we eat. That is what I said.
I certainly did not say that you are not allowed to eat meat at all. That would be difficult. Whether it is because of previous karma or their present circumstances, some people cannot do without meat. This is how it is, and there’s nothing to do about it. It’s not a problem."
