I have never really enjoyed meat, thus do not eat it, and recently found that I too was lactose intolerant- however, due to the lack of calcium in my diet, I do not wish to take substitutes so I still eat eggs- eggs from chickens which my grandparents keep on their farm (they are not chicken farmers. but have a few hens for eggs for the family, and they do not live in any pen/shed- they literally are free to roam, sometimes disappearing due to foxes, so have save houses at night, which my grandmother calls to them and they come in at nights) So I feel no guilt in eating these eggs. My parents are farmers- of sheep and cows- however, I do not feel bad for these animals either. It is sad that some of them will end of being used for meat, but I like to know that at least these animals are raised well. We are not organic- as with organic meat farming the animals often suffer as certain medicines are not allowed to be used and the animals health suffers, but we are certainly free range. We keep certain breeds of animals, and they are all well looked after, by only my Grandfather, Farther and Brother, so they are personally invested in the animals well being. I feel that if I didn’t not like meat, then I would certainly try and support them by eating the meat produced- if I was going to eat the meat anyway I mean. I do think we are very capable of surviving without meat, but if some still chose to eat meat, then it should be done with the consideration of the life of the animal. I don’t think we should try and stop people from eating meat, or animal products, but just showing them the alternatives and perhaps suggesting a smaller consumption of meat and animal products, and if they do still want to eat meat etc, then to be selective as to where they source the meat.
