I grew up in a London Delicatessen with all kinds of home cooked meat,
pates, salami etc. I used to turn a side (half of one)of pig into
joints of bacon and rashers in less than half an hour.

Now I'm vegan - I think I still like the taste of meat, I say "I think"
because I've not eaten it for 15 years, but I've found lots of
delicious alternatives to eat that don't involve the unnecessary
suffering of animals, destruction to our environment and undermine
optimum health.

I don't think it's disgusting I think it's unnecessary - having said
that the smell of a butchers' shop now makes me heave.

I'm married to a London Nutritionist who makes sure I am adequately
nourished but it's not difficult even without the diet police looking
over my shoulder.
