Crisis of conscience over eating meat?!

You could always become a vegetarian. I know when I ate meat I slowly become more and more disgusted after I realized where the food really came from.
But if you don't want to, then try avoiding meats are the in the shape of an animal, know what I mean? Avoid ribs or chicken from a whole cooked chicken.

If you want to become vegetarian, remind yourself that all meat (whether it is on the bone or not) is part of an animal's body. That should help you move away from other bmeats. If you don't, just work on applying the same abstraction to beef that you do poultry and fish, or eat meat only in a form that isn't recognizable as a body part. If it is bones that set you off, avoid anything that comes with bones. If it is veins or being able to see individual muscle fibers, switch to ground meat. Alternatively, if beef and pork bother you but other meats don't, just cut out the ones you don't want to eat.

Nobody can tell you not to feel badly about something that is making you feel guilty; your conscience is your own. It is up to you to change either your thoughts and feelings or your behavior.

I do have a recommendation for you: make up your mind. You will never be comfortable with yourself as long as you are standing on one side of the fence and gazing longingly over at the other. Eat meat or don't. They really aren't going to kill any more or fewer animals based on one person's decision. Honest.

Try going back to eating meat for a month. See if it still bothers you. If it does, go back off it again. Then, make up your mind to enjoy being vegetarian for at least three months. Set a timeline for yourself and stick to it. No waffling before your given time is up.

If chicken soup and tuna dont bother you to eat, then go ahead and eat them.
if meatier things like ribs bother you to eat, dont eat them.

It really is that simple, you dont need to make any rules for yourself on what to eat and what not to eat.

If you feel bad about eating meat, you could always stop eating it. I felt bad about eating meat too, so I went vegan and have not looked back! :)

Yeah. I think its great you are seeing things as they are. Most people, when they realize what you have, become vegetarians or vegans.
