All animals big and small are important to our existence and since the beginning of mankind we have eaten meat for nourishment. The treatment of the animals and what they are feed came to my mind many years ago and I do still eat meat a couple of days a week.
When meat is on the menu including eggs, we buy organic, free-range, grass feed, non-GMO and anything else to make sure our food is clean and the animals were treated with care before death. Chickens are treated horribly, they live in crowded dirty cages and let’s not get started on what they are feed.
I choose to eat meat and care about the animals welfare at the same time. That will make sense to some and not others. To each his own.

Thank you for caring. When I used to eat eggs, I bought free range or humane certified as much as possible. Your choices help nudge our culture toward more humane practices. Sometimes I think about having a few chickens, but not with our current dog.

It has to be so difficult to find enough that fits your diet and gives the nutrition you need. I have to do all I can except I don’t want to think about how they are killed. I only eat meat maybe twice a week but David eats eggs everyday.

I think eating meat twice a week is pretty good compared to most people. Any time your David eats free range/humane certified, that’s good. My David eats meat, mostly chicken, when we eat out and occasionally at home. It is hard to be vegan and gluten free, especially in a rural area. I’m settling for 90 to 95 percent of each these days. We do what we can and have to stay healthy.

Makes sense to me Melinda, as I also choose to eat meat, and I also care about the animals. X
