Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I tried to be vegetarian for six months, however I got so horribly sick that I had to go back to meat. I have an illness that destroys skeletal muscle among other things, and I notice that diet affects it. I cannot eat more than twenty grams of carbohydrates or I start to flare. I also need at least 100 grams of quality protein. My diet includes beef everyday, 5 eggs in the morning, and chicken. I also eat some low-carbohydrate vegetables. I require medications that are produced from animals, and I could not live without them. Even more horrific, my blood tests require the use of animal tissue. I suppose it's a bit ironic that it is because of animal testing that scientists know so much about my condition. I feel horrible about the slaughter conditions and would like to know if there is any way to choose meat with the most humane facilities. Are there any brands anyone knows off-hand? Would it help to go to a health-food market like Whole Foods? How is it possible to simply live my life without contributing to animal cruelty?
