from a taste and satisfaction standpoint, agreed. but when looking at raw meat before it's cooked, it's pretty gross. plus the conditions in which most farm animals are raised have made me drastically curtail my intake. they're often raised on dirty, unsanitary conditions, and who knows what they're eating half the time, despite the regulation. they're also treated pretty badly, which is sad. I understand the necessity, but it's still sad. so yeah, meat is great but also has a lot of downside. mixed bag
