As an experiment I decided to cut down of my meat consumption. I eat a lot of meat so it was hard to cut down on my intake at first, but instead off eating so much meat I started to eat more raw foods,like vegetables and fruits. I didn't eat chicken at all during this experiment and the other meats that I did eat I decided to only have small portions of. Eating a lot of vegetables like in a salad and fruits is a lot healthier than eating meat. After watching Food, Inc and reading The Omnivore's Dilemma on slaughterhouses and feedlots I wanted to stop eating meat based on the information I found out on how it's all processed. It grossed me out and made me want to change my diet.
I found that it's hard to just change your diet. It takes time, it's a process. Going from eating meat on a daily basis to completely cutting meat out is not going to happen overnight. So starting off small and slowly is one's best bet to being successful. I also found that I felt much better introducing more fruits and vegetables in my diet and eating other stuff instead of meat.
