Thanks man! I just bought this audiobook based on your recommendation and started listening to it tonight. It sounds good so far. I've heard this book recommended a few times but your comment made me pull the trigger and buy it.

Sure... but it's also important to point out that while cattle "should" eat grass and can eat silage... 78% of beef in America comes from feedlot cattle[1]. On feedlots, the cattle are fed grains, not grass/silage... gr

When talking about the ethics of eating meat, we often focus on the ethics of killing animals... but it's also worth talking about the ethics towards out fellow human beings. In bullet form, it's worth thinking about: * Swine flu
