Changing my mind

After all of this discussion about food, whether it is the abuse of the animals or simply how unhealthy it all is, it is changing my mind. Today I went to Wendy's and got a hamburger and even though I was starving, before I took that final bite I paused for a moment and thought where it was my meat came from, how many miles it must have traveled, how long the cow lived, how the cow died, and what was the cow feeling before and as it died. I actually looked at my burger with sorrow due to the fact that these are all questions that are unanswered. I can feel myself responding differently to foods that I know in which the animal suffered. I got disgusted looking at scrambled eggs the other day and now I know that it isn't just me who is changing. My dear friend and colleugue, Adara, has told me that she felt something similar to that. Then again I know she loves her burgers when she is hungry. I am leaning towards eating more healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables but if I do eat meat, I make sure it is organically grown.
