Hello,

First you are NOT evil, most of us are brought up eating meat its the normal thing to do -

And your not a sociopath or you wouldnt even bother posting about it

Ethically I agree with you - I have tried to go vegan or vegetarian many many times and failed - I have limited my intake of meats and that is a step in the right direction for me

When I see a documentary about factory farming it makes me feel sick - I dont understand how we can do that - well I do - its about producing fast and filling a market with no concern for the animal concerned - personally I couldt work in one of those places

I eat free range - that way at least i know they had a reasonable life

I do understand the guilt

its a very hard thing to do ..

you cant change your past but if you really want to you can change your future

while you are getting food - and if you need it - eat it

my neice told me the animal is already dead if you are given food and you throw it away or waste it thats disrespecting the animal too

I am gradually cutting things out of my diet

I dont eat lamb
or veal
only eat and very rarely - free range eggs
if I ate chicken it would be free range - but i dont

I dont eat fish (you have to take flaxseed oil capsules to compensate for that) flaxseed oil capsules are the equivelent to omega 3 oil that comes in fish

I take vitamin B12 because my meat intake is low and you need b12 for energy (so i found out :-) ))

bottom line

we do what we can when we can - you cant change the past - you can change your future - I was a huge meat eater and have gradually cut back over the years - it wont happen overnight - nothing does

I wish you luck - and happiness

please stop being so mean to yourself - treat yourself as you would a best friend - would you say those things to your best friend?

make ethical choices when you can

do the best you can

thats all we can ask
