"God" Made a 'Factory Farmer'

[Berries]

You're right it doesn't, free range tastes way better, but it costs a lot more too. The more you pay the better it is, so pay the man and be satisfied. However not everyone is as lucky , some folk can only afford the factory farmed meat. Who am I to say that factory farming is wrong, if it allows a poor family to get some meat in them? If we ban factory farming, we effectively make meat unattainable for a large portion of society.

Let them eat cake.

I don't see modern farming methods as 'cruelty to animals' as the animals in question are a food source and factory farming is the most efficient method of creating the food source.

The purpose of the cruelty actually has nothing to do with whether it's cruel or not.

I am rather happy with my internal compass and have an absofuckinglutely impeccable moral code.

Well, yeh, the whole thing about morals is they are values we, well, highly value; so your own opinion of your own values, is quite a circular justification.

In fact, if you look back through history, the tuning of our moral compasses is predominantly about treating ourselves as equals with more things. One justification of which it that its to do with technological advancement the reducing the benefits of immoral acts.

Factory farming or humans breed as they please, can't have it both ways. Being allowed to have should children should never be a right.

Sure you can. Watching your children starve is a very old entitlement for those that fail to choose otherwise.

Well it should be, but not in this welfare state.

Why not try going veggo for a while?

Seriously, good vegetarian food tastes amazing and by doing it properly you'll still get your iron and all the other good stuff.
It's good for your body (fuck knows what got pumped into those chooks while they were alive - or dead for that matter), it's cheaper as you're not buying meat, and remember that raising cattle is horrifically inefficient and also shit for the environment.

I'm going vegetarian not because I have a soft spot for animals. It just makes sense economically, environmentally and it's good for you too.
Although I still fry up some bacon or steak now and then because Jesus H. Christ animals taste good.

Yeah, I do eat a lot more vegetarian stuff these days, still eat meat, but smaller portion sizes and higher quality is better than larger portions of lower quality stuff. A few vege friends have got me onto some of the nicer bits in the vege diet. Falafels, home made hummus, soy milk. All good shit if done correctly, but nothing beats a rare scotch fillet, free range of course
