(14,177 posts)I stopped eating meat last year. It was by request. Since meat wasn't a huge deal for me anyway, it wasn't a big deal. Since then I have also stopped using dairy and eggs. That was because of things I had read about and I felt I can no longer supply the factory farming. I also try to avoid GMOs but that is much harder since there are many crops that are GMO contaminated. Soybeans is the big one. Corn is the other. So, I do the best I can and I try to make most my food from scratch.
Oh and I stopped buying extra virgin olive oil after I read something about that being a lot of things but olive oil wasn't one of them. So, now I just use regular or virgin olive oil since it is less likely to have been involved in some kind of a scam where it's contaminated.
