Russians literally drinking themselves to death as some say and seeing those articles alone from russia really kind of gave me a wake up call or a reality check. It happens here in America to as well, but those articles from russia alone are kind of horrifying. It started happening around 2015 or 2016 for someone like myself and I think that gave me the reality check to all of this coming about now with me wanting to take a break for a certain length of time. It can happen to anyone worldwide or globally. https://qz.com/403307/russia-is-quite-literally-drinking-itself-to-death/ I eat meat myself and I try to make sure I pray and such. I can't live my life without meat, but I'm not a huge fan of some meat myself. I mostly eat beef myself if not steak. I don't believe they are tortured animals for the most part, but some definitely are from what I've seen or have heard. It's better to get the meat from the wild to me personally or hunt them out in the wild then pray after killing them is what I figure myself. Some places do have cruel practices for different types of livestock and/or animals for that matter from what I've heard or seen myself. Free roaming grass fed livestock if not hunting the animal yourself is the best way to go to me personally. I do a ton of Christian / Catholic type stuff myself. I figure that keeps me switched on plus I believe in other types of mental activities even if it's just a decent video game.
