I’m not a big meat-eater, in general. I had a meaty meal a few days ago for Thanksgiving and did not feel good afterwards (digestive-wise). If I’m cooking for myself, it would be nearly meatless. As much as I want to call myself a vegan or a vegetarian, I can’t because I love eggs. I don’t think I can live without them. You can take meat out of my diet but no way are you taking out the eggs.
The meat I would love to rid from my life are probably pork and beef. My digestive tracts might even thank me and so will the pig and cows.
My mom, on the other hand, seems to think pork and beef are the only meat in the world. She would buy 3 or 4 racks of spare ribs and air-fry them. To be honest, I’m not really into it. I don’t understand why she would choose this method to cook meat. Why not do it low and slow? Oh wait, I know, no patience.
I’ve had some very delicious ribs, those that were cooked low and slow. The meat was falling off the bone. Now that’s my kind of rib.
Anyway, I don’t think eating meat is bad by any means. I think meat is the sole to provide the complete protein.
Do I feel bad for the cows and pigs that are getting slaughtered? Of course, I do! The thing is, I don’t feel like it would make a difference if I don’t eat meat. There are still a whole world of people who still need to eat meat. Maybe this is a think that will probably make a difference if there’s more people in the world that don’t eat meat.
This is Another Story 
I’ll talk to the cows on the farm next to us. No worries about butchering. They are milk cows. They are friends with our dogs.

Then those cows should have nothing to fear. 😄

I also dislike pork, I really don’t like it. The only meat I do like is chicken and I like eggs as well. Don’t think I could be a vegan.

I think as long as we like eggs, we cannot be vegan or vegetarian. 😄

I think vegetarians eat eggs. Or am I mistaken? I know vegans don’t and I really doubt I could ever be a vegan. 😀

From what I’ve researched, vegetarians can go either way with eggs.

That’s what I thought as well.

I believe there is a natural order. In nature creatures eat other creatures. We are human and have different values. To me it is a matter of choice what we eat only if we can afford to choose. Our own health and needs must be satisfied too. In ancient time man hunted then he domesticated animals for the sole purpose of having a handy supply of food close by. That led to progress. We can’t have one without the other. Whether or not it’s right is the question.

Of course, health must always come first, at least in my case.

I never kidded myself that meat always came in plastic little trays and knew it was walking around once.
Hubby and I used to enjoy a small steak once in a while, but when it came with a mortgage, then we stopped. The lost ‘cow’ in the woods also contributed to that. A magnificent animal that wasn’t actually caught. Such a waste. We have very little meat now, and what we do have is mostly chicken.

Yes, meats are expensive these days. When I go to the grocery stores and look at the price on a steak these days, I wonder how can anyone afford to eat meat?

Not us, that’s for sure.
