All these posts about ethical eating are very heartening to read, I'm still feeling a bit sick to my stomach after reading that book. Haven't finished it yet, but I will. I'm not ready to give up meat completely, nor do I really feel it imperative, but I most certainly will be investigating how to get hold of meat from animals that haven't suffered unduely. At the moment I don't feel like eating meat at all.
What bothers me most, I think, is realizing that there most probably will always be a market for factory farm meat. There will always be enough consumers who don't have the time, money or patience to choose anything but the cheapest and most easily available food. So it feels a bit pointless, as if I can buy myself a better conscience, but it won't really do much about the process.
