Thank you. I'm conflicted because, on one hand, I really enjoy cooking and eating meat, but on the other, the moral and environmental effects of meat production do give me pause. For the moral concerns, I like to pretend that I could hunt, kill and prepare a wild animal as prehistoric humans once did, but I know that is nowhere close to reality; our current relationship with "meat" is so far removed from nature it would be laughable if it weren't so sad. For the time being, I simply have to accept my cognitive dissonance on this issue and slowly work at it from the edges.
