Not trying to be a SJW but a drove an 18 wheeler for a year and would pick up meat from slaughter houses and the way they treat those animals is god forsakenly bad.They put hundreds of chickens in a room and spray water with electrical current into it. The cows would come in on trucks just terrified with the walls covered in their own feces. Not even going to get started on the conditions in which they are raised.

It made me really cut down on my meat eating and pay the extra for local farm raised meat.

Im not even against eating meat! I just think the mass industrialization of slaughter is messed up.

If you look at almost every menu though its like 90% meat so the amount of meat we consume on America is remarkable.

Capitalism is really good at hiding horrible abuse of people and animals behind a veneer of civilization and the abstraction of a blameless neutral currency.
