Are you a vegetarian? A lot of people adopt this way of life to object to eating meat from sentient life.
I am not a vegetarian, are you a vegetarian?
Nope I enjoy eating meat just a little too much. The industrialization of meat processing does bother me though, we should care about the animal welfare of our food sources.
I agree that we should care about animal welfare, but what exactly bothers you? Is it pain inflicted or just how we treat them?
Well however we slaughter shouldn't involve much pain so it's not that but it is the fact that they are kept in squallid conditions and tiny cages. The standards of the welfare of our food sources should be good.
Have you considered eating meat that is cage free, grass fed only? I'm led to believe that this is more humane than traditional sourced meat.
Cattle feeding
Different cattle feeding production systems have separate advantages and disadvantages. Most cattle in the US have a diet that is composed of at least some forage (grass, legumes, or silage). In fact, most beef cattle are raised on pasture from birth in the spring until autumn (7 to 9 months). Then for pasture-fed animals, grass is the forage that composes all or at least the great majority of their diet. Cattle fattened in feedlots are fed small amounts of hay supplemented with grain
and spiritual thoughts about all life forms, the trend being to reduce the consumption of meat and favour a non-injurious vegetarian lifestyle.
Food and ethics.
Hinduism does not explicitly prohibit eating meat, but it does strongly recommend ahimsa – the concept of non-violence against all life forms including animals. As a consequence, many Hindus prefer a vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian lifestyle, and methods of food production that are in harmony with nature, compassionate, and respectful of other life forms as well as nature.
