anyway...grab that skid of cow hearts and dump them into grinder number seven. There is like 30 - 40 different animals in your burgers. This company made burgers for a major fast food chain. I walked in pools of blood that ran down the drains for it in some areas and even had some of it splash into my mouth one day.

Nummy! Sounds delicious Jester. Its amazing what people will put into their bodies out of ignorance, especially when you consider that there are such appetising alternatives. The only person i knew who spent most of his life working in a slaughter house died of alcoholism, it puts more stress on a persons soul then anyone realises. I put it right up there with murder, its the same horrific scene and when a person considers that these cows had a personality and a consciousness and a spirit.. well, its downright awful. If a humans body was desicrated in such a manner his murderer would be hunted down with pitchforks.
I stopped eating meat about two years ago, i eat it now and again but very rarely. It doesnt tie well with my digestive system.. or my concience.
If every person who ate meat had to kill the animal themselves, then gut it and cut it up into little segments.. well lets just say mcdonalds wouldnt be in business for much longer.
Eating meat for
survival is ok. If you have too. But eating it just for its pure convenience is about as moraly correct as shooting the old woman waiting in front of you at the post office so that you get your business done a bit quicker.
