i'm a spiritual being having a human experience. humans are omnivores. i'm not going to limit my experience, OP, it is a great one. we are all part of a huge cycle and everything eats everything.

when i'm a hawk, i will eat meat. when i am some sorts of plant (tomato, say) i will eat meat (look it up). when i'm a cow, hopefully i will eat grass and some occasional bugs.

why don't you become a grass farmer and raise beef that isn't cruel--and do something to help the world OP?

and actually, i eat more than just the meat. i make the bones into that wonderful all-healing broth. i eat the vitamin dense organs too. and i mulch the gardens with the rest. it is all bueno.

are there cruel farmers and cruel factory workers? sure. i'm not in charge of them, and i try not to support them. but it doesn't mean there is something wrong with meat.
