I mean, not that it matters what I'm okay with  But I have a friend who only eats what he catches himself! If I had my own farm I might feel a little different about it. My husband eats meat so I'm glad it's easy now to find stuff that's raised and fed naturally. I went to a chicken plant late one night and it scarred me for life.. you just can't un-see things like that. |
