I love taste.
It's far easier to slap a chook in the oven and end up with something delicious than what I've been able to figure out that's only plant based.

animal nutrition > plant nutrition. Gram for gram.
and there are essential nutrients in animals that you just cannot get, from plants.

Question: For any aspiring vegetarians/vegans, what are the best foods to ease the transition?
For instance, I'd ideally be looking for something with complete protein and few to no additional carbs, to be accompanied by the vegetable dishes I already eat. Beyond meat tastes great but still manages to find exemplary ways to be unhealthy with things like saturated fats, and probably doesn't do much to resolve any exploitation issues, though it at least appears to be a step in the right direction.
For people looking to move to vegetarianism, possibly as a bridge to veganism, could it reasonably be said that animal products from animals raised in cruelty free and free range conditions are ethical? Can any organizations assure that?
Lentils and mushrooms are high in protein and have a mealy texture with a give. They've been my meat-substitute best friends during becoming vegetarian :) Legumes in general are a good bet if you're a fan of them.
It's hard to find animal products you can be sure are cruelty free, unless you get them from a farm where you're familiar with the owners, and you don't consider animal products to be inherently unethical.
Same 3? Lol please.
I just eat what I like, which is a combination of plants and animals.
Quantity doesn’t necessarily mean quality either. Many plants are edible in the regard that they won’t kill you, but are mostly unpleasant to eat. Because if we are going to compare apples to apples we can surely eat over 80,000 different species from the animal kingdom.
