I agree with the sentiment that its about attitude more than profession. If I were with someone who was a veal farmer but only because they couldnt get a job with their Biology degree and wanted to make sure it was done humanely, that's totally different from someone who's a veal farmer because they like hurting animals. That point is somewhat moot because I personally dont think any "food preparation" in existance is inhumane, so I wouldn't have a problem with either of the two.

In life (and with this question) I'm always more curious about WHY someone does X then how they actually manifest X. The methodology and not the interface, if you will.
