I used to be a vegetarian because I am extremely against the incredibly cruel manner in which factory-farmed animals are treated. Now, however, I have decided to return to eating meat, but only 100% organic, outdoor raised, very well-treated meat. The cruel part about meat is not that the animals are killed, but that they are forced to endure a life of torture without any enjoyment before they are killed. If an animal is given a happy, peaceful life by humans, it seems a fair deal for it to have to give its life back to us eventually.
For anyone interested, I buy chicken/turkey/duck/goose at:
Yellow House Farm
and beef at:
Green Ledge Farm.
Both are 100% organic, humane, and raise only heritage breeds. They’re both in NH; Google them if you’re interested!
