I've got a friend who moved her family to the USA from the UK a year ago and they have gone almost completely veggie as she can't source any ethical meat where she lives, in the UK we have strict animal welfare and drug/hormone laws regarding meat and milk animals plus you can get slightly more expensive free range/organic options and sustainably sourced fish in every supermarket.


Just FYI- we have strict drug/hormone laws here in the US as well. People act like we are serving terrible meat products filled with chemicals. This is just not true. As far as vegan/veg goes, I have no opinion.
I've not looked into it in depth but I thought in the USA beef cows are given hormones to increase muscle growth and cows are given hormones to increase milk production? Do you still have battery/caged egg farms or are commercial egg laying hens barn kept or free range? Maybe I'm running off old news.
