Corn, wheat, and soybean fields are an ecosystem for rodents and other 
animals, and sometimes provide a source of food for deer, etc.  Eating your 
tofu-burger is contributing to the direct and/or indirect killing of animals.  Do

I eat mostly meat.  I feel better and I do not miss fruits and vegetables.  In 
fact, when I do eat fruits or vegetables they taste extremely sweet.  My 
taste for non-meat has changed drastically over the years.
