Dropping meat from your diet completely is not a good decision,neither for health nor moral reasons.
If your reasons are because of health concerns you have to find the right balance to achieve whatever your goal is(losing weight, gaining muscle or just feeling healthy in general.)
If your reasons for doing it are ethical, you still shouldn't stop eating meat here's why.
A year ago I contemplated eliminating meat from my diet.My deep love for animals made me get to the point where I would go into full brainstorming mode every time I saw a steak, and at that moment in my life the negatives far outweighed the positives; thus why I gave veganism serious thoughts.
I started looking for information on veganism, I looked at vegan restaurants, and then for some reason I came by this article.That article really got me thinking; it made me realize that veganism is not the answer.But therein lied the real problem, if veganism was not the answer then what was?
I then looked at this video that someone in the comment section provided there.I personally loved the idea of a self-sustainable farm, I had never heard of the concept, and I hope that I have one some day.
The problem with that idea though is that the whole planet Earth is self-sufficient, and yet we still drove many land species extinct and managed to kill 90% of fish in the sea.The REAL problem here is the industrialization of food production.
Nowadays I still eat meat, I get it from the farms market just like all my other food, where there is less destruction of the environment, greater connection between man and animal and more importantly no CORPORATE GREED.I am aware though that very few people can afford the time and the higher cost of doing this though.
As to how I get over my moral compass when it comes to eating animals, I always take a moment before I eat to thank for the meal specially to the animal for allowing me to keep on living healthy.That has helped me tremendously even though I am not religious at all, and I encourage anyone that is struggling with eating meat to do the same, it absolutely helps.
