Couldn't even make it through the chicken part. Got hungry & went out to KFC.

Yep, I took it there already.

Seen it. Watched the whole thing though, just because you dared me to.

Facts of life man. Eating is like, important and stuff. So is like, making money and stuff.

I'd personally pay slightly more for product that was even slightly more humane, but not too much. Them critters gots ta die, and I gots ta eat'm. I'd rather not chow down on a cancer burger though, that's for sure.

We're seeing more and more options for more natural food. Especially milk and eggs, two targets of the green people video here. Range fed chickens and cows that haven't been pumped full of hormones produce better quality product. I personally pay more for it because it's healthier for me and my family. We're lucky enough in the pacnw to have access to natural beef too. I still buy steak and chicken from the typical places in the store from time to time, and I know this stuff goes on, but it's not going to get in the way of my BBQ. These businesses are made successful by minimizing expense in order to maximize profit. Unfortunately for the critter, that means no morphine or bedtime stories before they get their throat slit. I don't loose sleep over it though, and you won't either a decade from now.

I've seen this before. Sorry, doesn't affect me. I'm with Seen, though, I pay more for organic...tastes better too.

Horizon organic milk is awesome.

I saw worse stuff growing up on the farm in Nebraska.

We raised our own chickens and then butchered them when they were grown. Butchering them consisted of pulling their heads off. We also raised a few pigs as well. Good stuff, not pumped all full of steroids and shit like most of it is now.

I know that I've never tasted chicken like the ones we raised ourselves.

Good for you

You should try Native Foods in Costa Mesa, it's right off the 73--have you heard of it? You'd be astounded at the stuff they can do.

Beef - It's what's for dinner.

**sisca** · 06.12.06, 07:46 PM

yeah, it is sad that the animals are living in horrid conditions and i could stand to see more humane ways of raising and butchering them. on the other hand, i will never become a vegetarian for the sole fact that meat is YUMMY!!

**billy007** · 06.12.06, 08:00 PM

If this is the video with the cow hanging upside down gushing blood, I've seen it (and commented on it here before) - no thanks. I'm not always crazy about the fact that I'm eating what was once a live creature, but I don't think I could ever go meatless unless there was no alternative. I'm picky enough as it is, I can't afford to lose any dishes from my menu!

We'll see. When you're looking thin, sickly, pasty and anorexic and no longer clinging to the same idealistic theologies that you are right now, a good bbq might just sound nice to you.
