In regards to eating meat

i have a question for you. if we hunted animals and ate like the american indians did would u have a problem with that. honestly i have a problem with the way we mass produce meat . if we saw it if it was telecast to us on a regular basis every day so that we saw what really goes on in the meat industry it would affect a lot of people i would think. i think the consumption of meat would go way way down. just to be clear i am not a vegan and i dont care what anyone eats it is their business. but i do agree we are not showing these animals compassion and we have turned the whole food industry into a pleasure dome. we eat to derive pleasure just as much as we eat to survive. not saying we shouldnt enjoy what we eat but if u look at the obesity in this country something is way out of whack that is for sure. and one thing i can say for a fact about cows they are very very gentle creatures. from the time i have spent with them they are very trusting and gentle.

I absolutely do think that would be a step in the right direction, just as humane animal farming is a step in the right direction. These are actually very large steps, considering how much of a difference they would make.

Ultimately, I would like to see humans rise above the animal food chain. We are smart beings-- I just know we can find a way to survive without this cruelty, just as I feel we can get past wanting kill each other in wars.
