I don't eat meat (other than seafood) because it zaps my energy and makes my feel icky, not for any humane reasons (being raised on a cattle farm and around hunting tends to desensitize one to the concept of animals being for human consumption). However, if that weren't a good enough reason, the things mentioned in
these excerpts from the book Slaughterhouse, about the US meat industry, would certainly be enough. (I was going to quote something from there, but it was a bit too disturbing/graphic. But go read it anyway.) (via Rachel Online)
