Is there a way of being a happy median between vegetarian and a meat eater?!
Well, Lately I have been eating vegetarian because of the treatment of animals (poorly of course), the ruining of the environment (factories and grazing land goes to waste) and also the chemicals and hormones found in meat!.
However if there was someway that these things were eliminated and meat was still produced I would eat it again!.
I was trying to think of a compromise, because trust me, I do see both sides, I do see that humans are meat eaters too!. All I could really think of was meat at one meal in a small proportion, of course getting protein other ways throughout the day!. Does that sound okay!? Is there anything else you can suggest!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
Their is nothing wrong with lowering your meat consumption!. You should google "flexitarian diet"!. You'll find all kinds of information!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
For me there is a perfectly happy medium!.
I eat grass fed free range beef from a farm I have toured that sells meat at the local farmer's market!. I eat venison that friends have harvested and kindly shared with me!. I eat eggs from local farmers who have chickens running loose and doing their thing!. I eat grass fed bison, again from a farm I have personally toured!.
It's out there!.!.!.not all farmers are bad!.!.!.!.you just have to find them!.
Frankly, I don't eat meat from these sources very often simply because I don't really like it better than most veggie foods!. I prefer a veggie burger to a beef burger any day!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no 'happy median' when billions of lives are being taken and tortured, and world hunger, abuse, global warming, damage to the environment, and population rises, or damage to our bodies being done because meat was not designed for human consumption the way it is being done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
well, organic/free range meat is when the animals are raised without chemicals and hormones and treated the same way as farmed animals have been for the past 5000 or so years of human history!. or you can eat wild animals (mostly fish here, though there is also venison and the such)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Try eating meat from the organic isle because it has all those chemicals out of there meat and everything is naturally grown they don't use steriods on the animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes there is!. Become a hunter and get your own meat!. It definitely eliminates your problems and produces meat you can eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You could always raise rabbits for food - then you know how they were raised and what they ate, and decide the most humane way to kill them for food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
be a pescatarian
you eat fish but no other animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you eat fish but no other animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well then you're not a vegetarian anymore, right!? So why bother!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The less meat and animal products, the better!.
Vegans do everything they can not to deny animal's of their rights and destroy the environment!. It's the logical choice!. If you need a while to build up to that, then it's fine, but I really don't think there's any 'happy' medium when all animals in the meat, egg and dairy industry face torture and murder when alternatives are readily available!.
Who cares if humans are naturally meat eaters or vegans!? What matters is what we can see as the logically ethical and healthy choice now!. It's fact that the vegan diet is healthier, and it doesn't cause 2000 animals to be tortured and killed throughout your lifetime!.
What I will say is that humans have a long alimentary canal, many molars, an unsuitable pH for properly digesting meat and a lack of large and sharp teeth and claws!. also, meat and animal products increase the acid content of the body in an unhealthy manner, are not properly digested and cause all sorts of health problems, from various cancers to liver and kidney damage, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, heart diseases, osteoporosis, risk of stroke and a whole load of other things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the best thing i have seen is linked in the source!. But actually humans are more plant eaters than than anything else!.
The most likely explaination for our teeth is to bite through fruit skin!. Look a the size of our k-9s, they are way too small to really pierce hide!.
also, our digestion is perhaps one of the most plant friendly digestion in the animal kingdom, being longer for our size than an elephant!.
Most likely our ability to eat meat comes from storing fat during winter months, when plants weren't in season!. If you look at how our body stores fat, it stores animal fat better than anything else!. Which would suggest that whenever we eat meat, our body expects the next meat to be a very long time off!.
Anyway, check out the link it is the guild to healthier eating, and a very good way to go from a meat eater to vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Various companies are working on developing vat-grown meat!. This would be meat grown from cloned cells!. No animals would be harmed in its production, and it would be grown using nutrient baths, which could potentially be grown in turn using solar power!.

While as a vegan I don't find the idea of eating it very appealing, it could mean the end of the abusive livestock industry!.
But for now, all meat you buy at the stores is the result of killing sentient beings who have their own interests and drives independent of ours, and suffer as a result of industrial practices!.

Yes!. Be the omnivore that you were created and intended to be and eat both vegetables and meat in equal portions!. Ever notice that we humans have canine teeth and molars!? Animals that only eat plants don't have canine teeth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
