I was vegan for over 20 years and it negatively impacted my health. I filled myself with PUFAs and estrogen-laden foods. The way I became a meat eater again is (a) I got sick (b) I learned that ALL live food gives up their lives for us (yes including the beets and carrots I just juiced and on some level they feel pain when you cut into them or grind them through a juicer).
If you can find a farm that humanely raised and humanely slaughters their animals, that's the best we can ask for (and remembering all of us will have to perish and die at some point.)
The key is for all of us to live a healthy, happy life and die a quick, painless death. My prayer before eating as others have shared in their replies is to give thanks ...and rest in knowing the animal lived a life I would have enjoyed if we had changed places. (hope this helps.)
The other option is to become a breatharian and live purely off of sunlight and water (I haven't figured out quite how that works yet ;)
