I'd like to see us move more and more towards treating animals humanley. I mean, they live thier entire lives just so we can eat them, we should honor their sacrifice and treat them as well as possible.

Plus when they are being butchered, I don't think they should have to go through the trauma of watching the 10 guys in front of them getting their heads chopped off.

Now, wouldn't the food taste better anyway if it's raised in more humane conditions?

not only taste better but I am sure we who eat it would get less sick...

pre mass production of meat, the animals used to "live" before being eaten, this is not really the case today...

And you woudln't get all those wonderful things like mad cow or salmonella.




By the way... I forgot to add that the dairy I do eat is mostly organic and free range. Which is a recent change, actually, since I just discovered a organic food co-operative out in the boondocks of sudbury. (which is very much a meat, meat, meat, and potatoes kind of place)

do animals show fear before they are about to be slaughtered?

I think most animals are too stupid to realize what's about to happen.

They only recognize fear in the form of predators.

Go meat!

I don't hate vegans. I just think they're demented, crazy, and just plain WRONG. Don't eat meat? fine, Want me not to eat meat? **** you.

I am a specieist, or whatever they call it. I don't give a flying **** about other species, esp. those that aren't friends of people. dogs and cats can be loved and respected, because of personal bonds that the people have, but that doesn't mean that the life of a dog or a cat equals the life of a human. Torturing animals is wrong, but that's because of the human cruelty, not the suffering of the animal. Protecting the enviroment? very important. Why? because WE have to live here, not the duck-billed platypuss or whatever.

Get a clue Vesayen. All Levis are made in the USA and comply with all American labor laws. I can agree with you about not wanting to us slave labor but I imagine we both have drastically different definitions of what constitutes slave labor. In fact slave labor almost doesn't exist in the world today.

You're right about the whiny veggies though.

This is why I think people who want to reduce factory farming should encourage hunting.

You should have made this a multiple selection poll -- what about those who agree with you, but still think you're a moron?

Matters loads.

Ever eaten free range well fed chicken compared to battery? Tastes much nicer, as do their eggs.

It's probably just a self-fulfilling delusion - you think it will taste better so it does.

It's possible but I've actually done a blind tasting when I was working in the meat & dairy department of a supermarket.

Thanks for telling me about the place where I worked. You obviously know better than me.

At Safeway Reading in 1994, the meat and dairy department was one group of employees run by one department manager, and used one chiller out back. Although I mainly worked on the dairy I did have to do some stuff on the meat. We also did salads and ready meals.

Why did you do a blind tasting? Did the chicken meat look different?

It's an expression indicating you don't know which is which beforehand. It does look kind of different though.

Was the meat from the same part of each chicken?

Got to see the people making them. Only had to close my eyes for when I was tasting, not when others were, different bits of chickens have different textures anyway.

Round and round in circles. You did suggest that and I just explained why I wasn't.

So how does better food and a bit of room contribute to the difference in taste?

The room is because they can exercise and regularly used muscle tastes nicer (dunno why). The food thing is more obvious, the food you put in is literally turned into the meat of the chicken so if you put crap in you get crap out.
