I feel the same way.  I have just added meat back into my diet, after being
vegetarian for 10 years, including 2 completely vegan.  I started eating
Paleo to improve my anemia and chronic fatigue.  It works, but I have had to
put my morals on the backburner to follow this WOE.  I do believe that eating
meat is natural for human beings, but at the same time I feel bad for the
animals (especially those that suffer in factory farms) and it weighs on my
conscience.  There is a certain spirituality about eating vegetarian that is
missing in carnivory.  If it's at all possible to be a vegetarian Paleo, I
would like to know -- hopefully there is some other way to get enough protein
(without eating insects -- yuck) and fat.  I'm exploring different avenues;
let me know if you find anything helpful ~ Cathy
