there's another big reason I do this, even though I'm a soft-hearted animal lover, well, two reasons.

when you have to do all the plucking and stuff, you realize the work behind it, it doesn't just come in nice neat packages, and with all that work, one tends to eat less meat, so that's probably healthier.

also, we worried about the effects of bacteria in store meat (remember all the scares?), and how that might easily make my MS sx worse.

oddly enough, our theorizing proved TRUE, and I feel generally better than I have since the late 90's, eating healthier has long-term benefits too, we hope.

this "lifestyle" has done more for me and my MS than all the meds ever did.
