Precisely.That's my point - all this nonsense about knowing where meat comes from like it would make a difference to anything if they did.

Eh I think it was HT who posted this the other week:www.animalsandsociety.org/assets/462_mitchellsa.pdf
"Whenever and wherever possible, it is important that nonhuman farming be portrayed as abusive in its essential character, even in its supposedly more benign forms such as “free range,” “traditional,” or “grass fed.” It needs to be apprehended by the public as a system in which nonhumans are held captive, mutilated, controlled, impregnated, castrated, and killed."
Which is quite frankly a load of shite

depends on how you're reading that and how out of context you place itI posted it the other week because it contained interesting stuff on how the brain filters things out and allows terrible things to happen (like the holocaust)
That said I do agree that we should stop making flouncy phrases and hiding from the reality of how animals are treated/slaughtered and processed for mass consumption. If people don't like it, stop eating the things.

Well I've worked on farms, I've seen inside an abbatoir and I still eat meatI agree that people should be better informed about where their food comes from but I don't think greater understanding of the field-to-plate-process would alter their choices much one way or the other.

you're coming from the opposite side to who this is aimed at thougha startling number of people have no concept of where their food comes from or what is done to it to make it in to Mr Men shaped processed meat slices. This is about re-educating, not scaring off. Although if it does encourage people to eat less then its a bonus.
