(75,480 posts)3. I used to be a vegetarian and don't eat much meat now (drs. orders).
However, some brands of meat can be traced to the source. In my area a lot of the meat and chicken is locally produced, so it's not too hard to check up if the animals are raised and killed humanely, which is an alternative to going vegetarian. I believe you can find websites with this information.
Also, I found eating bread, cooked grains and pasta help give you a full feeling as well as beans. My favorite cooked grain is grits, believe it or not. They are filling and tasty.

Meat is slightly addictive, just like sugar, chocolate, caffeine, and cheese.
