I need some serious help with my diet. I adore animals and they are a huge factor in my life. Eating them has put me in a moral dilemma...
I was a vegetarian for 5-6 year, stopped, went back to it for a year and now we are back to eating meat.
Reason being was income at the time, it was hard to keep up a proper amount of protein and I was getting lethargic, with more income it's financially suitable to go back to being Vegan but I'm looking for true health benefits and whats best for my body.
This is beast world, eat or be eaten. If I don't eat meat, that doesn't stop the lion from mauling a zebra to death and it doesn't stop my dogs/ cat/ snake from eating meat.. If I have to support the killing of other animals to keep my animals alive, why would I not use these resources for myself?
All my pets are being put on a raw diet, so they are able to eat biologically appropriate food. (Plus kibble is awful!!! Cat should not eat kibble at all!!! This is a total side note, if you haven't looked into your pets food please do. Purina, Iams, Science diet, and so many more are borderline poison. Watch the documentary Pet Fooled on Netflix it is a great one. )
So if I'm buying meat, and supporting the meat industry why would I not eat it myself? No matter what happens there is always going to be a demand for meat, even if ever human on earth stopped eating meat, we still have to raise live stock to feed our pets.. I mean unless everyone just stops owning animals.
Yet, I feel like shit about it. I love cows.. I love birds.. I love fish. I love them all and if it came down to it I'd much rather observe an animal than kill it.
What do you guys eat? Anyone have any advice that might help with this?
