In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

I don't like milk but eggs and cheese should be ok...there are so many different varieties of cheese...Organic and free range eggs where the chickens are treated well makes a big difference.

Agreed! Provided the chickens are allowed to roam freely, the eggs can be a healthy, cruelty-free source of protein, filling in the gaps for those who feel they need animal protein, without killing any entities and without cruelty.

Milk and cheese products are a bit trickier. 'Organic' just means no hormones added, which means it's healthier, but doesn't necessarily mean the cows were treated any better.

Getting raw cheese and milk products from a local farmer who treats his cows well, would be optimal.
