Don't rule out wild game as a healthy food source. I just finished up processing (at home) the cow elk I shot ten days ago. Now the freezer is full of 60-70 pounds of range fed, organic lean meat. Plus my cat Sylvester has about 10 pounds of his own stash (the trimmings) for the year. The cow has already fed about 7 folks and that number will triple over the coming month. I also eat a fair amount of self caught fish, mostly from Lake Powell.
Harvesting my own food is every bit as rewarding as any of the big wall first ascents I have done.
Good luck in your diet changes.

Well my goodness. It just so happens the young lady is wearing a very attractive pair of tights this very day. Kinda of retro 60's leopard spot pattern, but in a dark blue-black colour combination.
Oooh - la - la...... ;)
Concur with you Locker. All in good fun. No need to get bent out of shape about silly internet banter.

My dad says that to me all the time.

The Revolution Has Begun: Beyond Meat
"Animal rights will be the big social revolution of the 21st century. Most people have a vague feeling that factory farms aren’t quite ethical. But few people are willing to give up meat so such feelings are suppressed because acknowledging them would only make one feel guilty not just."
http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2016/12/revolution-begun-beyond-meat.html
"Lab grown or cultured meat is improving but so is the science of veggie burgers."
...
Following this line of thinking we will moralize ourselves out of existance by doing the “right” things long before we can exterimate ourselves by doing the “wrong” things. -Michael Allen

So who cares about flora? Evidence is in that plants communicate. Factory farming...what do you think fields of crops and orchards are? Tubers being torn from the earth, cherries plucked from a tree, corn ripped from their stalks...where's the love?

Plants and animals (other than humans) are being squeezed out. The human herd is out of all proportion...culling is in order.

On somewhat of tangent, the NY Times 10 Best Books of 2016 lists "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang (trans D Smith). Although it sounds like I might give it a pass.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/books/review/best-books.html?_r=0
In Han’s unsettling novel, a seemingly ordinary housewife — described by her husband as “completely unremarkable in every way” — becomes a vegetarian after a terrifying dream. Han’s treatments of submission and subversion find form in the parable, as the housewife’s self-abnegation turns increasingly severe and surreal. This spare and elegant translation renders the original Korean in pointed and vivid English, preserving Han’s penetrating exploration of whether true innocence is possible in a vicious and bloody world.
