In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

does that include seafood?

i eat fish and eggs but i can't eat meat. it feels wrong. but i used to eat it occasionally. i love chicken. i didn't care because i was under some delusion it didn't matter. like my involvement didn't make a difference. but now i know that it does. i miss the chicken. :/

I wouldn't worry about the eggs. Just be sure to get free-range eggs. This means the chickens are allowed to forage for bugs and have a good life, as opposed to commercially produced eggs, in which the chickens are crowded into tiny cages, debeaked, and raised under extremely cruel conditions. Free-range eggs are cruelty-free, and healthier too because they don't have the antibiotics and hormones.

Wild fish at least have a life before they are killed, so if you're going to eat meat, wild fish is the least cruel. Coincidentally, wild 'coldwater' fish has some health benefits.

The definition of vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat anything that had a face. This includes fish. But, many people transition to a vegetarian diet by quitting red meat first, then chicken, then fish, in that order. Chickens are treated just as cruelly as cows, and struggle just as hard to live.

You'd be amazed at all the cool things you can do with tofu! Some recipes can taste just like fish or chicken!
