4 nights straight of poor, restless and short sleep. A few days of bad or no food -- I've been struggling with what to eat. Dinner has been vegetarian. Yesterday's was a few vegetarian "chicken" nuggets and a bowl of cereal. Not very satisfying.
Feeling guilty about all animal products (meat, leather, eggs, milk). What should I do?

Super cranky

You should realize that the human condition does not allow us to be perfect and that "extremes" of anything are bad: they either cause harm to the individual or to the rest of humanity. It's better to compromise. As for me I would never give up dairy products or chicken and fish as long as they are humanely raised. I gave up all red meat a couple of years ago because the thought of a slaughterhouse is just to bloody and fraught with violence for me. I'm not completely satisfied with my choice but I am moreso than doing nothing at all. You're unhappy because your body craves certain tastes and you are punishing yourself by denying them.
I'm not sure how to define humanely raised. I think about how if I had to sit or stand all day and produce milk (even if I wasn't treated with hormones or anti-biotics), I'd feel pretty miserable. Or if they look away all my eggs. Or ate me or used my hide to make wallets. :-(
But on a daily basis, I consume and use so many animal products. Why do they have to give up so much for me?
Just be glad you were born a cranky human instead of a cranky cow....Don't you have anything to do?
