I almost forgot to add, you can actually find meats that are raised humanely although it does cost quite a bit more. Do a search in your local area for farming co-ops. We found one and signed up recently. You pay a fee and once a week you meet the farmers for a box full of fresh organic vegetables. The farm we're working with also offers meats that have been raised with full consideration for the animals' welfare, although we balked when we saw how much it cost. Easily 5 times what you would pay at a supermarket. And perhaps, well worth the cost! I think once my wife and I transition further away from meat eating we may start buying in that fashion. For one it ensures that we don't buy meat often (we couldn't afford it regularly), and two it essentially turns your purchase in to a vote. I try to think on these lines when I spend money... Every dollar really is a vote towards whatever you are buying. Companies follow the dollars, as we know. If everyone voted towards humane meats, we would eventually have only that.
