(10,952 posts)I hate the way the factory farming treats the animals that end up being butchered. I am not fond of turkey so that was easy to give up. I need to work on giving up or minimizing by chicken consumption next. I eat minimal dairy products, have eliminated turkey and need to decrease my chicken consumption. By giving up a lot of proteins from live animals I can afford to buy free range eggs and only buy what I do get from sources that treat their livestock more humanely. I will confess that I do like salmon and may have it as much as twice a week. Living in Oklahoma I don't have access to decent fresh ocean fish like I would back home so my fish consumption is pretty much limited to salmon. I am working on increasing my consumption of fruits and vegetables. Ethical consideration is becoming more of a factor in my decisions regarding food. I have a ways to go but i figure that at least I am trying.
