Eating heavy animal flesh makes me stink in all kinds of ways, gas and poop and sweat. It's just not for me. Some health guru (Mercola I think) had a steak after being veg for twenty years because all of a sudden he craved a steak. I don't think he went back to eating veg only though. I know for sure I have no desire for meat now. If I AM gathering up some bad karma, it'll be for the fish oil capsules I take!! I don't believe that my eternal soul is endangered by having a bite of deer sausage though.
