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?
