i have no issues eating meat. it is pretty damn tasty...and, as mentioned above, we are omnivores...so basically it is our nature. i'm not into hunting in any way, but my brother had an interesting idea about hunting our food just once, to really get an appreciation of what is going on when we eat meat. we are so shut off and sheltered from the process of where our food comes from that we don't realize it really does mean a living thing has to die.
but yeah fast food in the US is disgusting. i was basically on a fish diet while i was in asia, and i never felt healthier....then i got back here and dropped a whopper bomb on my stomach. the bathroom was my home for the next few hours.

The animals in their pens, the beak removal of chickens, and lots of exsanguination.
The video looked old and may have been outdated, but it was still pretty bad.

Just wondering. I know it's pretty standard for the meat industry to be brutal in most respects... but I would expect an organization who's against the entire concept to only show the worst of the bunch.

On the other hand, if I had to eat meat to live (like if the world was post-apocalyptic or something), of course I would kill and eat animals. Until then I don't have a reason to eat meat - only reasons not to.

I know you know that you're not making a difference and never will. Also, I respect matters of principle, but if there's another cause, I'm interested in hearing it. Just because there are other protein sources usually isn't a sole negotiator in matters that involve rejecting your omnivorous nature.

As the definition of murder is unlawful killing. I'd have to say no it isn't at all.
