Reply #14: You dont have to be a vegetarian to make a difference....

[MazeRat7]

If meat eaters would make a commitment to only eat animals once or twice / week, the factory farming and cruel conditions our animals endure would be reduced significantly.

There will always be those unenlightened folks that think of animals only as food oblivious to the horrific conditions they endure in the feed lots, dairy farms, and slaughter houses. But for regular caring folks with compassion toward other living beings that are unsure how to live "without meat"... dont sweat it. Nobody says you have to...just start by making a commitment to eat fewer dead animals. Thats is really different from not eating "any" dead animals.

Being vegetarian is not for everyone, but reducing the number of dead animals in your diet is something that should be easily achievable for anyone that really wants to make a difference.

Give it a try and be happy that for every bit of beef, ham, chicken you don't eat - some animal gets to be an animal and not your food.
