    No debate for me either as I agree with you there. But why not eat meat from farms with good practices? Or game?

      Would I be happy seeing a pig being slaughtered in front of me? Of course not. Would I like to see a Cabbage being slaughtered in front of me? Any day of the week.

        Odd how we use these terms in opposite ways to accentuate the killing of humans and animals.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Indeed. The English Language rightly, or wrongly, allows us to do that. Slaughtering of animals for consumption I can live with. Slaughtering or killing of humans for consumption, well that's another subject altogether.

            It's still boo-hoo when the cutesy bambi gets killed.

                  Will the Roast Beef be Quorn based?

                    Personally I would see any meat being killed before I ate it. I would not enjoy it. But if I eat meat I ought to know where it comes from.

                    Similarly I dont mind hunting if the meat gets eaten afterwards.

                      That's fair play. I don't necessarily agree with it, but if that is your belief, then go for it. I am not one to deprive another person from retaining their beliefs.
