Should I feel guilty eating meat?

Okay dilemma. I like meat. I also love animals. I don't just love animals, but I won't even kill an insect. Seriously. If there's a spider in the house, I'll grab a tissue with it and throw it outside. Pathetic to some (most?) but I feel better for it in the end.

Back to my point. I've been struggling for some years how I can love animals but also eat them. Vegetarianism for me, at least now, isn't an option. I'm not going to give up meat because I feel it's essential to me, and I enjoy it as a meal. Then I read stories such as male chicks getting grinded up alive in factories (they serve no use since they can't lay eggs), and it makes me sick.

So, is ignorance bliss?
