So I'm maybe a quarter through The Omnivore's Dilemma. Its been a slow read so far, all about corn being the Devil and whatnot. But I'm slowly realizing that there is very likely no way on earth that I can live a more compassionate life as far as animals go. I've given up meat again, not a huge challenge for me. I can buy cage free eggs, and I vow to buy only free-range organic beef and chicken for my family to eat. But are the animals happy? Can any animal be happy when the end of their life will come too soon and only for the purpose of nourishing me? It's so depressing and I'm not entirely sure how to reconcile these feelings with life as I know it.
