I generally don't eat much in the way of meat. I'm not a complete veggetarian yet however when me and Tinker's move in together to make things cheaper and more easier on her I will make the full transition to veggetarian food. I eat fish as does Tinker's which is where most of the protein comes from in my diet. As for my perspective of the way animals for meat are raised I prefer the free range organic or "grass fed" meat but in all honesty that stuff can cost up to TRIPLE (I work in a major UK supermarket company so see this all the time) the price of normal "mass farmed" produce. It's a lot like the fur trade and stuff at times, I don't mind the farming and killing of animals for their hide/meat as long as every part of the beast can be used. For example, a cow is eaten as beef, a cow's hide is leather and therefore a valuble material in clothing and shoe making, a cow's bones can be given to dogs to chew on and they gain health through the marrow within them. Everything can and is generally used in my eyes we should be more like the french in this respect you can kill anything you like as long as every part of the animal is used for something (except the wording in french law is you can hunt anything as long as you are hunting it to be food on your table).
