I have, for more than 40 years, tried to give thought to the actual physical, living, whole animal each time I am about to eat one, or part of one. I tend to eat less and less red meat, mostly because of considerations of health, particularly relating to how the animals are kept and fed. I can see myself becoming a sort of vegetarian overnight, if I were to become the one who had to do the slaughtering--but I'd still eat eggs. I think there is merit in being mindful. I think there is generally no merit in movements.
