Eat well website

Meat is part of the human diet, unfortuntely. There are certain proteins found in meat which veg and other things can't create, which we need! Unless there's someone out there who can prove me wrong.

The Veg-industry has made a good little video showing the normal (extreme circumstances!) way of dealing with animals. There are many other options nowadays e.g. free-range, organic, etc. And if you're willing, you can head off down to local farms or even order stuff off the web..

Is your meat well hung, sir?
:)

Animals are animals, and humans are humans! Choose which one you'd rather have suffering. I'd say it's important for meat sake to look after the animals.

Lets deal with this first..
My eyes are on the world..
Ok, one more and I've finished

That's a really shocking video - I didn't get all the way through it :/.

gn0 - I think it's perfectly possible to live healthily without eating meat - although I choose not to, currently. It takes more effort and thought though. Both are equally valid choices as humans are omnivores.

However, it IS really important to make sure that the animals are kept well, not like in Adrian's piece. Adrian, just out of interest, is that UK footage?

No Ally, all that footage is from the United States, although, personally, I believe things are equally as bad here in some high intensity farms.

For balance, I've been to a few farms here in the UK and I've never seen anything but good treatment of animals.
If I had my way the video wouldn't be attacking "meat" in general, but instead cruel meat. That of course makes me for free-range and organic.
