As a Catholic who believes in transubstantiation, can I partake of communion and still be considered vegan?

Somehow I would think that if you are a Catholic, the overwhelming awe of being allowed in the true presence of Christ and receiving his "body, blood, soul and divinity," would toss all questions of how you label yourself, out of your mind. Christ does not care if you are a vegan or a meat eater or if you live on spam. He is gracing you with a priceless gift which nourishes your soul. Toss out all secular thoughts on food, toss out your attachements to the world and embrace the moment when you are brought the closest to heaven here on earth. Do not compare the Body of Christ with a pork roast. You demean yourself and you offend the Lord. and me.
