the hypocrisy
Hypocrisy is choosing to turn a blind eye to what happens in slaughter houses and still eat meat.
This. I've reduced (to maybe 5%) the untrackable, likely poorly-raised and slaughtered meats, and relaxed them with ones I know or all reasonably certain have had a good life/death.
I don't deny the random sausage at a campfire, but most of what I intentionally acquire is decently happy critters.
How do you find sources like this? I've always wanted to avoid the really nasty slaughterhouse, but I've got no idea how when I buy meat on a limited budget.
Look to farmer's markets. Some will have meat directly available, others will have people who know people.
You're likely to see higher prices for meat one cost of eating ethically is that I've had to reduce the overall amount of meat that I eat. But also, some farmer's markets (in some locations) are state-backed, and you can get double your 'money' for EBT (that doesn't really work for me, though).
