To Eat Meat or Not To Eat Meat

So this is a tough issue for me for several reasons, which I just don't feel like going into right now. Nonetheless, I think it is important to take a serious look at this issue. My dad sent me an article from the NY Times that I think provides some insight into the current meat situation in the U.S. and the world. I encourage you to read it.

i don't think that eating an occasional (once a week or so) burger or steak is really going to make a difference...

Hard to say. Did the article say how much meat is consumed by the average American in a week to create those numbers he listed? I guess I would have to go back and read it.
But I suppose I also don't particularly care for how the animals are treated either. It seems that the more we consume, the worse they are treated (trying to pack more "meat" into smaller spaces).
Basically, I am still wrestling with the issue.
