Wow – saw this on FB from a friend that is a huge WoW advocate (eat meat sparingly).

I respect her greatly for her stance on the matter:

Dear Sister,
This is my answer to you in relation to President Brigham Young’s statement that mother’s should not feed their small children meat. Yes! Small children do not need the flesh of animals. May I add also that adults would be better if they would refrain from too much eating of meat. As far as I am concerned I will be contented if the Millennium was to be ushered in next week. When it is, we will learn that the eating of meat is not good for us. Why do we feel that we do not have s square meal unless it is based largely on meat? Let the dumb animals live. They enjoy life as well as we do.
In the beginning the Lord granted to man the use of flesh of certain animals. See Genesis 9:1-6, but with so many fruits of the soil and from trees of the earth, why cannot man be content? Naturally in times of famine the flesh of animals was perhaps a necessity, but in my judgement when the Millennium reaches us, we will live above the need of killing dumb innocent animals and eating them. If we will take this stand in my judgement we may live longer.
Very sincerely,
Joseph Fielding Smith
