I wish I was following this thread all the way through. (The community
digests take me an hour to run through most mornings)
Despite how they are killed (which I admittedly know nothing about) It's
inefficient to raise cattle (or other animals) strictly for the purpose of
killing and eating them. The amount of food put into the livestock is much
greater than the amount of food you get out. Instead of feeding grains
(And stuff) to cattle, feed them to people.
How would ya'll feel about eating meat that wasn't raised to be killed
and eaten? My uncle/grandparents run a dairy farm. Every once in a while
a cow dies, or has to be killed (for whatever reason). They keep the good
meat from the cow and eat it. Of course, it's not nearly as good as a cow
raised to be eaten, but...
I had a teacher in my college days who swore he could make a veggie
burger that tasted just like a hamburger. I don't understand why you'd
want to give up eating burgers if you're just going to try to make
something else taste like the. The same teacher swore that the vegetarian
ways of he and his wife had absolutely no influence over their son , who
wouldn't eat beef.
I once looked up the definition of meat in the dictionary. It was
defined as 'anything edible'. It definitely puts a different slant on
people that say they don't eat meat. A similar definition is located at
dictionary.com:

I just don't wanna go back to work, which is why I'm rambling.
