Re: that's not what I got out of it

i generally don't eat chicken because I know how horribly treated the animals are treated....I will sometimes go for several months without eating chicken...when i do eat chicken...I sometimes get this image of a tortured animal living out its life in a tiny cage...pecking the eyes of the birds encagged above, below, and beside it. It is like I am particpating in the act of vindicating the cruel treatment of animals.....If I knew a chicken led a healthy life...I don't think I would have a problem....

Imagine how unhealthy you would be if you lived in a tiny cage...stacked on top of people....
I have less of a problem eating seafood because ...I think that the life of the fish was worthy of a life well lived...the fish itself does me a favor by giving itself to me when it dies...

It may seem odd to you...but I believe animals and plants have spirits....and eating some tortured spirit......doesn't seem right...
I have been sucumbing to this desire to eat a fried chicken leg for only two months...and I went from a 34 to 35 waist...I think their is a spiritual battle going on...inside me...and for my health sake....I want to fight it with body...soul...and mind....
does that make sense?
