I actually found that to be pretty entertaining, and as a person who consumes large amounts of meat, it was educational.

I knew it all, and it is the main reason I don't eat meat. I've got the videos of animal abuse, de-beaking, etc. at home. You'd be surprised what you're eating.

It is like the restaurant thing. Don’t show me; I don’t care. It tastes good and that is all that matters to me!

Besides, it becomes impossible in today’s society to actually know what you are putting in your mouth.

Well it was pretty educational and also the sad thing is that is so true.

I can't look at the pictures of those poor animals anymore because they always make me cry. It's really horrible.

Please consider that the next time you pick up a nicely-packaged pretty and pink selection of cutlets for din-din.

Unless they happen to have been to Saudi Arabia lately...

Seriously though its crazy feeding animals large amounts of antibiotics. Their the only defence we have against diseases and the more we use them the greater the risk of resistance.
