How purely VEGAN or VEGETARIAN can such folks consider themselves?

I agree!! People should eat what they want and not be preached at. I quit eating meat about three weeks ago when I saw how poorly animals are treated. My conscience wont let me eat meat again. I wont have any part of it!! But I wouldn't dare try to tell you or anyone else not to eat meat either. It's all about choices. I have a hard time trusting the government any more. They wont tell us the truth about anything because they don't think we can handle it. I would like to start growing my own food so that I know what I'm eating!!

All I can say is that I'll stick with my meat products
