My Rant About Eating a Burger

This weekend I went home and found myself wanting to eat a burger, something I had not enjoyed since we watched Food Inc. at the beginning of the semester. Not wanting to give into my craving by enjoying an animal who lived a life of suffering, I decided to look around the meat section at my local grocery store. I was surprised to find the perfect substitute: turkey burger. The turkey was raised on what we might refer to as a good farm and I have come to decided that an animal that comes from that environment is ok for me to eat. I hope I made the right decision straying away from my recently vegetarian ways which I have adapted at school.
