I must be a really strange case. As a child, and up to the time I finished high school, I rarely ate meat, and I guess you could say I was almost a vegetarian. After leaving home at the age of 17 to attend more school, was when I realized I was a carnivore. It's not really something I decided... it just happened. It's in my genetic code. I am a carnivore by nature and make no apologies.
