Who here is a vegetarian and why?
A few months ago I made a decision to go vegetarian and this past weekend I started. Well everything is going fine but I feel as though the vegetarian thing doesn't quite suite my beliefs. I do not believe eating animals is wrong, However, I do believe animals suffering needlessly is VERY wrong. Hence my problem with factory farming practices in this country.
Enter Niman Ranch. I've been doing a lot of research on this company by a friends recommendation and everything they stand for pretty much matches my whole philosophy on food animal welfare. However, I am hesitant to start eating their meat because I am afraid that in reality their meat is not truly "free-range."
Check out this video:

What vegetarian would not start eating pork after watching this video?
Anyone have any free range/organic/natural meat advice? I'm really only concerned about animal welfare. I really don't care about the whole antibiotics/growth hormones thing.

There was a vegetarian thread on here a little while ago. Someone was talking about some tacos with black beans and avacado. What are the other ingredients if anyone remembers?
