A Very Difficult Choice

In life, your going to face many difficult choices, the hardest ones are the ones you benefit from but force others to suffer or opposite way around. The best example of this incorporated in my life is when I partially saw a video of how the meat that we eat really ends up at the grocery store where you buy it. The video was so horrible that within the first 12 seconds of watching it I stopped watching.

After seeing that video I refused to eat meat for around 2 weeks. Eventually my mom made me eat meat because she was worried about the amount of protein I was getting. Although I didn't like it, I ate the meat. Eventually I started eating meat again but it's not the same as before. I eat a lot less of it now and every time I eat meat I think of that video and it makes not crave meat for a while.

As long I make the choice to continue eating the meat sold at grocery stores, I'm going to continue to kill thousands of animals in horrible ways. I wish that there was something I could do other than eat less of it. If I were able to, I'd become a vegetarian but meat just tastes so damn good. Why is that all these animals from the day they're born have to live a life of pain, misery, and agony just for them to be slaughtered? Is it that hard to treat them in a humane way and allow them to live in pens instead of cages they can barely fit in their entire lives. Each time I make the choice to eat meat, I immediately feel guilty afterward. The world that we live in is such a big place and nothing is off limits.

Until my next blog,
