I know what you mean. I really prefer to be vegetarian, but I'm so anemic all the time. I was constantly sick the years I tried it.

Felt a little better about eating beef after I moved to the country, and saw the actual ranching conditions all around me. The cattle here have better lives than most people! Hang out all day in lush grassy pastures with all their friends. Sure, they don't live a long time, but it doesn't look bad.

I try to get get organic/free range/known-private-farm meats. And I can't get along with modern pig farming. It's both cruel and disgusting. I avoid pork, which is sad but doable.

Still kind of ambivalent on fish and turkey.
