Re: Meat Stinks
People say you wouldn't eat meat if you saw how they are killed etc. I would be happy to kill whatever animals I chose to eat though. How does that fit with the ideology of vegetarianism? We have factory farming of animals because people want chicken at £1/lb. It is a commercial necessity to raise livestock that way to meet the costs that we teh public will pay. Would you be happy to eat meat that has been ethically raised? How much extra would you be prepared to pay to ensure they have been well looked after and killed in as humane method as possible. Would it change your views on eating meat?
I buy my lambs from local farms and collect them when they have been slaughtered. That way I feel not only am I getting top quality meat I am also supporting my local farms. Likewise with vegetables, local market(or even better farmers markets) offer better quality produce at lower prices. Yet teh majority of people trudge down to the ASDA week in week out.
