I have no problem with the idea of raising animals as food. I have a problem with the way most are treated, and with the fact that we kill far, far more than we need to survive.

I wish everyone who eats meat had that attitude! I still believe that meat is unethical and unhealthy, for a host of reasons, but if people are going to eat it, it is better that they murder animals that have lived a long and healthy, natural life.

How do you feel about eating road kill, as an aside? I know in France, roadkill is acceptable fare, and to me this makes a lot of sense if you're going to eat meat.
