sadly, that's not nearly as bad as some places are with cattle and some other animals...

First - apologies all as I'm not going to be particularly nice in this - Andrew delete if you feel it offends.
As a teenager I worked on a farm where we killed and processed chickens and turkeys mainly for a big 'fast food' joint. From my experience it IS a nasty, dirty, disgusting and degrading job and not one that I could ever defend in any way as nice - either to the birds or the people who did the work. After about 4 weeks there you get to block the constant noise of the birds; you learn how to flip one so as to break its neck if it wasn't electricuted in the dip bath; you even get used to the smell of bird crap that sticks to your clothes and skin no matter how often you wash. What I didn't get used to was the little acts of inhumanity that we showed each other on the farm. You get burnt out not just by being surrounded by death all the time but the sheer scale of it - believe me there is a big difference between killing one chicken and being involved in killing hundreds every day of the week. So just being a s*** to some animal or another person is all of a sudden small beer. One of my friends who worked a season there used to get drunk on pay day and go out and beat seven kinds of crap out of people for no other reason then he didn't care if they got hurt or if he did. I guess what I'm coming round to is this - I choose not to eat in 'fast food' joints because I don't like their practices generally and more specifically in relation to the rearing, slaughtering and butchering of meat and from that the quality and 'healthiness' of it. If you eat what passes for meat in 'fast food' joints spend a month working in one of their slaughter houses and then make a decision on whether you think the video is hype. That's got nothing to do with being a vegan etc - I'm not, I eat and on occasion butcher the animal - where I live that is all part and parcel of living in the countryside. There is however a big difference to me with the humane treatment of animals -including for food - and the intensive farming and mass slaughter that serves the 'fast food' industry. Would I eat Bambi? We hunt, butcher and eat fresh venison round here when it's in season. But I wouldn't eat a Bambi Burger from any of the 'fast food' joints.

I agree with RobM - I personally have no interest in this kind of thread on a guitar site and definitely wouldn't be reading it if I wasn't a moderator.
Having said that, as long as people keep their heads it isn't breaking any forum rules so I'm not going to do anything about it other than express the earnest wish that this thread dies and doesn't get resurrected again (I was glad to see it go the last time). -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Lol, what Ryan said. Don't forget we're a part of nature's design also.

For those who are interested, you might find this book fascinating, as I did:
THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMNA http://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Na...s/dp/1594200823 Basically, it details the "industrialization" of food in the USA (and coming near you, the rest of the world), and it's mind-blowing. -Kiz |

I watched this video and then went out and got a burger from McDonalds.
