Hi Helen,
    Thanks for asking me to be your friend. I did not even realize this site was like this. Pretty cool though. Anyways to answer your questions. I am neither a vegan nor a vegetarian. I do eat meat but keep it to a minute amount. And I do not eat meat that comes from mass slaughter farms. I use local farms that treat their animals with respect and let them be as free as possible. I do eat all veg, fruit and pasta over half of the week. I also eat all organic and work at an organic restaurant. I do not work with animals but my partner and I have three adorable children (cats) Friskies of whom is half maine-coon and half tabby then we have Goran and Eames of whom are Russian Blue Hairs. They are adorable and are spoiled as much as we can. It's our way of giving a little back for all the pain that they must go through because of us (humans) and well because we just love them to death. I hope to hear more about you soon. Marcus.
