Answers:
I know exactly how you feel!. Right now I'm only 16 so my parents won't give me a choice!. I have to eat meat because I am still growing!.

The videos that flood the net, yes they are awful but not all places are like that!. The abuse they suffer is not fair, but many places have a more peaceful way of doing it!.

As of now I am a swing vegetarian (eat meat twice a week) and it seems to be okay!. So you should try that, trust me, I have a weakness when it comes to meat, I was raised with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ok well next time you see meat or start eating it-1st think about what you are eating!. i'm a vegetarian-i have been since i was born!. think about the poor chicken, fish, or cow that had been killed!. look at the meat- you can see the veins and everything!. being a vegeratian is not that hard!. when you smell meat, think about what you are smelling- dead animals being cooked!. its inhumane!. be a vegetarian, its better than eating oil fatty meat, you will be a lot healthier!. hopefully a lot of pple start changing their minds!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

We can't make up your mind for you!. If it was only a little hard when you tried being a vegetarian for a week, you might want to try again!. It is a change of course, but it's not hard!. You might try slowly cutting down on meat, then cutting it out all together!. Like if you eat meat at every meal every day, cut it back to twice a day every day for a little while, then once a day, then once every other day, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

becoming veggie is something u have to feel, you can't "half-a$$" your way along and be a vegetarian, its a commitment you have to make for a very long time!. you cant be a vegetarian and eat meat once a week, or fish is ok, you either dont eat it ever again, or eat it and not call urself a veggie!.!.!.whatever u choose is up to u though, if u think meat is tasty, then eat it!.!.!.only u can pick whether the life of the animal and the effects on ur health are worth your giving into temptationzWww@FoodAQ@Com

How can you be so fussy!? The only thing you're eliminating are beef (cows), chickens, pork (pigs) and fish!. You say this like all you ever eat is just meat and nothing else!.
Do it for your health, if anything!.
Do it for the environment!

Factory Farming has taken things too far!. Traditionally, animal meat is very expensive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you truly see what is so bad for the animals, then I don't understand your dilemma!.

Surely caring for animals is more important than getting what you want all the time!. Feed your fussy stomach for a while or save an animals life!?

For Lally: God saidof humans - ["I give to you the fruit from the trees and he earth, to you they shall be meat"]Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you want to feel really bad, look up "factory farms" on youtube!. Not only will it make you feel bad, it'll make you sick to your stomach!.

Give it longer than a week!. It took me 3 months of being vegetarian before I became used to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To the person that posted the video!.!.!.that's just acting on people's good will towards animals, yes disgusting things like that do happen, however not all meat is produced in that way!. You need to eat meat, yes there are substitutes, but the human body was made in a way to eat real meat, are teeth are deigned to tear it off the bone and break it down!. If you feel sorry for the animals, that's good, it's nice to know there's people out there concerned, and things you can do to help is volunteer at a local SPCA, maybe adopt an animal give it a good life!. I'm even sure you can do research if you care this much and find brand name that process food in a humane way, just to make you more comfortable with a necessity!.

also to the person that said, save an animals life and not feed your fussy stomach, whether or not you eat meat, that animal will die in the way it was raised to, that's just a hard fact of life in our developed world, if it makes you feel better to not eat it fine, then don't, but that wont make a difference, the difference comes when you support the right things, and you still need meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well in the bible god puts specific animals here so we can kill and eat them!. thats there purpose!. i kno its seems really sad!.!.!.
i've been there a couple times, but then remember wat i just said up top!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
