I also feel bad about factory farming, and I think it can't be good for your
health to eat meat/eggs produced by this kind of torment.  My conscience can
accept humane slaughter of animals after a decent life, but not an entire
life of misery.  So I try to eat humanely raised meat as much as possible,
also only free-range eggs.  Typically the meat/eggs are organic or nearly
so.  Everyone in the U.S. ate this kind of meat and eggs until this century,
in fact until the 1950s when the intensive chemical agriculture came in.

I also was a near-vegetarian for 20 years, and a total vegetarian for about 3,
putting on 70 extra pounds, and developing gluten intolerance and arthritis.
The gluten intolerance will never go away, but *I don't care* since I am
on the Paleo WOE.   The extra weight and arthritis are going away.

There is no point to eating foods that make you sick; there must be a spiritual
way to eat the kinds of foods humans have eaten for 2 million years.  But it
is a hard transition to make.....  Good luck.
