meat eating, you could do worse than watch "Earthlings."

It's interesting how little we are educated about the grotesque suffering inflicted upon sentient beings in order to put industrial quantities of meat into the channels of commerce. The subject never seems to make its way into the requirements of the high school curriculum and there's never a slaughterhouse of the week feature on the evening news. I would guess it's because the truth is far more horrible than most can bear. If we simply let children know the facts about the food they eat instead of force-feeding them "Happy" Meals and commercials where cows attempt to convince buyers to eat chickens instead of them, I imagine a very significant number of people would overcome the conditioning required to make them swallow such a sadistic diet.
