I was never much of a red meat eater anyway.
I don't think I could ever give up my eggs, though!

Several were major chicken and pork processors.
I never heard such horrible stories. I don't want to eat meat anymore. Gave up on chicken after I started raising them.
I think most of us just don't want to know what happens to animals on their way to our plates. Once you learn the truth, it's almost impossible to continue eating meat.
