Don't Have A Cow!?

To Eat Meat OR Not To Eat Meat?

In food terms, meat is a non-human animal raised and prepared for human consumption.  These animals may include sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, buffalo, crocodile, or horses.  In some cases fish are also included as a meat. Humans who do not consume meat are considered vegetarians.  Vegetarians follow a plant-based diet and sometimes limit dairy or egg intake.
