it. Me? I like to think that humans can do better than this. We aren't gods and shouldn't see ourselves as above ... even chickens.

The cruelty in factory farming is heart wrenching. Vegetarian for over 12 years and vegan for about 9. Prior to that, I’m sorry to say I rarely thought about the fate of my food. I was fortunate to have a friend educate me. I’ve got my dear, dear 86 year old husband about 90 - 95 percent of the way there and I’m 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 it’s 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.
