I'm a farmgirl who helped raise the beef she ate. I will eat beef but not
veal because I don't feel comfortable eating something that with a little
feeding up could produce so much more meat-- and because I have no
compunction about eating beef. The American veal industry makes me queasy.

There are other things I won't eat for emotional/religious reasons (lamb,
rabbit), and some I won't eat because they make me physically queasy
(fresh processed turkey product-- put enough nitrates in it and I can eat
it, go figure).
 
I figure that if there's something I won't or can't eat, if you're a good
feastocrat there'll be lots of other things for me to eat, and what I
can't eat leaves more for everyone else. 

Everyone who hassles me about not eating rabbit gets emailed the recipe
for roast cat. Shuts 'em up every time.
