As to the "I eat it, it tastes good..." individuals. *shrug* Don't fault me for putting some awareness into my eating habits. Yes, I'm one of those people who buys free range eggs because they are allowed more space than the normal chicken raising practices. Yes, I buy organic free range beef too. No, I don't eat pork because they haven't established any free range practices.
I have to eat, yes. but what sets me apart what sets Humans apart from animals is our ability to have awareness and compassion...
And it's my choice to have that awareness about the animals I eat. It's my choice to chose a more humane way of life for my food. Some of you may find it silly, to have compassion for another living creature, food or not.

Thank you for one of the most intelligent posts out there.
We are all able to make choices in our lives. Painting things with the absolute brush is a little too simplistic for me.

You saw my earlier post, so you know I'm not attacking you because of your stand on this, but I think you're hurting your cause by letting the argument be petty instead of arguing the point that you were trying to make.

I was being sarcastic.
