Have you ever seen the inside of a slaughterhouse or the longhouses commercial chickens are housed in? I call that suffering.

I'm well aware of the natural world of predator and prey. I do not call rabbits "widdle", nor do I think much of Disneyland and I can decide a course that relies on both scientific fact and sentiment.

I lump suffering on the "bad" side of the scale, don't you? Why would I promote suffering? Is a chicken nugget really so tasty that you would condemn a bird to misery and suffering? Do you ever feel guilt?

I'll bet one in a hundred meat eaters know where their food comes from. I suspect if they saw and heard and smelled the inside of those places, they'd throw up.

There are advantages to not eating meat. You know them: better health, less water and air pollution, less water use, less wasted agricultural land and fewer animals that suffer.
