(18,512 posts)The cruelty in factory farming is heart wrenching. Vegetarian for over 12 years and vegan for about 9. Prior to that, Im sorry to say I rarely thought about the fate of my food. I was fortunate to have a friend educate me. Ive got my dear, dear 86 year old husband about 90 - 95 percent of the way there and Im so proud of him. A life long meat and egg eater made the changes.
Helping the planet, improving your health (especially preventing a reversing heart disease) and saving animals
where is the downside compared to that? Not saying its easy to make changes to your diet when food can often serve as comfort or a hobby, but the upside is so worth it.
I know folks, professed animal lovers, who are outraged when they hear of people eating dogs and never connect they are doing the same thing eating cows, pigs and chickens.
