Since you already feel bad, start educating yourself more on the way animals are treated, the harms it does to the environment and to your own body and you will just get rid of it altogether.
Meat literally has no benefits that don't exist in plants, the only difference is that the benefits it gives you, are packaged with so many other downside harmful factors like antibiotic resistance, cholesterol, saturated fat, and cancer links.
So you are after the protein, but along with it, you are getting all the other bad things. Thats of course apart from the fact that you are killing animals (torturing them before being killed) and hurting the environment too.

@BittersweetPotato The landlord at my last place is an older guy, health problems. He stopped eating store bought meat altogether and only ate wild moose and elk for a year, and like half his problems went away. So you are right I completely agree. The bad just might outweigh the good, but people are addicted to meat, and too lazy to quit. I am going to really think about doing it.

@Notsimilarreally The only good reason for eating meat is its taste and being lazy and or disciplined to make the change. I like when people are upfront about their reasons for justifying. But when peop start covering up the bad that's coming out of it which is way more than the benefits that we can actually get elsewhere and better quality too, that gets on my nerves. Like people shouldn't lie to themselves and others.

@BittersweetPotato true I think a lot of people don't realize the reality of what happens to the animals and all of the damage that comes from processing. People don't know, don't care to find out because they don't want to know, they just want to eat it guilt free. And I've never really thought about it until recently so I really am not judging. It's ingrained into our lifestyles. The negative isn't taught. It's just how it is unfortunately
