My husband is a vegan, and while I've been resisting joining him, I've finally made the decision to go vegan myself. Knowing that our meat-packing plants and slaughterhouses are employed by masses of illegals, I want nothing to do with meat anymore.

Of course, illegals also pick a lot of the produce as well, so I'm not comfortable eating fruits and vegetables either. It's my understanding that there's been an increase in the incidences of Hepatitis B found in lettuce, and it's hypothesized that this is due to the illegals defacating right in the fields where they pick the lettuce (plus not washing their hands after they go and then resuming picking the lettuce).

So, I've been living on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chocolate soy milk (oh, yummmy).
