As for the "factory farming practices" and such, what you do is find a small farm that raises free-range animals. You don't need to support huge meat-mills, but you CAN support the smaller family farms that are just as health-conscious as you are.
Another thing about taste, when you have some chicken or squirrel or duck (yum, another good one), try some bites with a few of your favourite salad dressings. Chicken with Parmesian Ranch dressing, Squirrel with Bleu Cheese. A taste of your favourite salad dressing might help ease you into being accustomed to the taste of the meat.

LOL, Squirrel. Where do you get that kind of thing? I'd like to try eating squirrel one day.
As for the factory farming practices: It's not so easy to avoid if you live in the city and don't own a car. Furthermore in Denmark a large part of the population lives alone (students often move to live alone when they are twenty or so), and small farm sales tend to be "buy half a pork" or something like that. I could never eat that much pork before it was tainted.
Generally I think one of the main problems is that everything in this modern society seems to load the full responsibility on the end consumer: It's up to us as end consumer to recycle, it's up to us to save electricity, it's up to us not to use chemicals in our garden. The truth is that it's the industry that is the big culprit spending needless energy, using vast amounts of chemicals. It's not like the chemicals from private households are insignificant. But if you really want to do something about the problem you need to set standards for the big corporations and such.
