It's apart of nature to kill other animals, but the way we treat animals is just wrong. My real problem is that most animals are left in filthy, very overcrowded conditions just so we can get cheap, plentiful meat. I think the least we could do is eat less meat, so less animals are needed and all are organic. The fact that we mass produce these animals to meet our needs, isn't great either especially as we already have too many people on this planet. If anything, for a few years, food like meat or fish should be a luxury just so it can replenish in stocks. It's something that's been overdone for years now. Don't get me wrong i love meat and fish, but it's something we should sacrifice for a little while, just so the future generations can have them. Also, some great stuff can be made with just veg, rice and fruit

meat has taken over as the main centerpiece for most of our meals. There is a steak house in milwaukee that serves a 10 pound steak. The point? We do need to eat less meat. A meal should be balanced and meat should be limited for a healthy diet. The OP seems to be under the impression that he needs to completely cut meat out in order to reduce health risk... But the truth is he just needs to limit meat intake and balance it out with fruits and veggies. Funny thing is he will probablly just replace the meat with wheat or soy which is just as bad being over consumed
