Kill It, Cook It, Eat It - Do you where your meats from?

i dont eat meat where the animals have been killed by electric shock as the meat is dirty and not cleaned properly. i only eat halal meat which is very clean as they cut the animals head off and then cut it to pieces to produce meat.

Oh I watched a bit of that programme and wish I hadn't now! Was horrible. I couldn't eat anything if I saw it alive first - a few years ago I went to a fancy restaurant that had a lobster tank and people were picking the lobster they wanted to eat! No way could I ever do that. I actually don't eat that much meat either and some meats I would never eat - veal for example. I try to only buy organic meat (although it's expensive which is why I don't eat that much meat probably!) so at least I know the animals have been kept in good conditions, not pumped full of antibiotics and goodness knows what else, and killed humanely. I hate factory farming.

Well I am a vegetarian myself. So does not apply to me. But I have a question to ask to those who eat some meat but not others. If u really decided to eat meat, then u can eat all types. Why stop at some type of meat alone? Some hindus do not eat beef because it is considered holy. Muslims do not eat pork because it is unholy. For others who eat them both I ask a further question. Why not eat human flesh too?

Actually, because I DO know where meat comes from - I buy ONLY free range chicken, and grass fed beef. Did you know most chickens are raised in cncentration camp settings, often killing ones next to them and stomping them through the crates. 10% of the chicken you get at the grocer is fecal soup. COWS are not supposed to eeat corn. They are supposed to eat grasses. This is why right now, my husband and I buy organic. This is why we are making plans to buy a large piece of property and grow ALL our own food. If we can't humanely kill it ourselves, we don't deserve to eat it.

Like what shadygrove here are saying, part of my college life was to experiment on some animals. Frog, chicken, shark, cat, you name it, I've done it. Its not pleasant. I have nothing but pity for this creatures. But to say killing those animals in front of you, never mind. I would rather practice fasting than to eat them. Its just not right. Why should they need to show it to the people how they slaughtered those animals. Must be that they like them to know that what they are eating are fresh. I can't even kill a cockroach myself.

well i do not meat 10 years already i had a similiar experiance and from that point i could not have touched meat i know it is natural the food chain and all that but who said this is the food chain..? and why do we have to eat meat? do we need it? surely the body does not need meat it has more bad things in it then good ones and the other vitemins protin and iron we can get from other natural sources so why eat meat?

I make it a policy of mine, not to meet my food before I eat it. I don't want to see my food alive before I eat it. I do know where it comes from but I have no desire to witness the process.

We get our meat from our cows, chickens, and pigs. Also the deer dad gets. My uncle processes the meat and everything so it doesn't have all those preservative the store meat has. It's all fresh and so good. We get our veggies from the farm too.

you know lots of people become vegetarians once they witness how those meat they eat are killed. i havent eat meat for over 11 months now and i dont think i can eat it again especially those warm blooded animals maybe a bit of fish as a last resort for hunger but never pig or chicken meat or other land animals. i think that show is good but not all can appreciate that since it targets our phychological thinking when it comes to eating meat and lots of people in this plnet is a meat lover.

When I was in college I took some vet courses and part of the coursework was to to to the chicken, pig and beef slaughter houses -- not a nice scene at any of them. I think the chicken one was the worst as they'd stick the live chicken upside down with their one leg in a clamp - then they'd slit it's throat - well the poor chickens would be flaying itself all around, one leg kicking, wings flapping and blood flying all over the place - everybody there was blood stained - what a yucky place to have to work! The smell of blood was just everywhere. Anyway though, then I took a human anatomy course where we had to disect cadavers ~ I couldn't eat tuna or chicken for a long long time after cutting away on people. Their flesh really did remind me of dark tuna or chicken. Well, not sure if you wanted that kind of answer, but ! lol I do eat meat - I do not live pork so much, other than bacon; do not like link sausage and barely like the flat kind either. I really like my veggies! haha :o)

That is hundred percent true, my friend. I was a non-vegetarian, 2 years ago. But now, i've changed myself as a vegetarian. Thanks to my girlfriend. She is actually a pure vegetarian. Just to please her, i changed me. But anyhow, i'm serving for the good cause only. I'm happy.

Most of the meat we eat here is grain-fed rather than grass fed, but the latter is more expensive. I would rather eat meat from a cow who was allowed to roam free in the field as I heard that the grain-fed cows are feed hormones and since I suffered from second fertility, I am sure there is a connection. But as for the watching of animals being slaughtered, I have a strong stomach by the way so watching animals being slaughtered on TV would not make me sick and even if I saw it in person, it would be the smell rather than watching the actual process. An advantage of this would be if someone cut themselves and were bleeding all over the place, I would not scream and run willy nilly, but would try to help I(I do know a little first aid.) However, I would be more concerned with the chemical additives, or things adding to the animal's food that would have a detrimental effect on us or the beasts themselves than seeing a pig or whatever being electrocuted or what process they use to kill them.

I know it's sad but that's the reality. Some animals are intended to be eaten so to speak. I do eat meat and sometimes I wonder what's happening on the slaughterhouse. It's a sad reality. When I was back in the Philippines, I remember when I used to accompany my mom to the wet market...I can see chickens being killed by cutting off their neck and deep them on a hot water. It's really disgusting but they shouldn't show how cruel they can be on animals.

I've been a vegetarian myself for forty years. I've never been through a slaughterhouse, I doubt I could do that without losing consciousness from a broken heart from witnessing the pain and fear of all those innocent animals. I think if more people actually made the connection between those pretty packaged meats in their grocer, and what actually happens...the process that is undertaken, to get that package there...people might think twice about eating it. As humans, we're pretty good at allowing ourselves to remain ignorant about what we eat, and how we get it...or what we wear, and how we get it...we just want what we want, and we just don't worry about what happens for us to get what we want. More and more, though, we are seeing the results of our desires manifesting in different ways, like air and water pollution, food poisonings, different diseases popping up all the time, stress and anxieity and depression, I could go on and on. We don't think about the repercussions of our actions, unfortunately, just because we don't face up to the responsibility of our actions, dosn't mean the reaction won't be there. I'd like for American tv to televise something like that...I wonder how it would be received in this country? Sounds like a very interesting concept.

I refused to watch it as this could put me off meat, I know that's probably why they do it, but I love meat and I just know that if I watched those animals suffer I'd feel compelled not to eat meat. Trouble is my housemate who does the cooking in my home watched it, and I feared those immortal words from him 'right we are going vegetarian' if he said that I would move! LOL!... It's good that they have brought this to light but on this subject I'm a hypocrite and I hold my hands up high! Respect.

Does it realy matter where the meat comes from. There are very good safeguards that have been put in place compared to past methods of food distribution. Even with the present system we are stiil caught out once in a while, as there are a lot of occassions where there has been food re-called back after finding a problem that has been overlooked.

i have seen how they slaughter a pig, on Gordon Ramsay's hells kitchen...but for awhile it put me off meat alittle. but then i thought, even if i stop eating it, they will be being killed...if that makes sense. it is a gross process, but i think too many people in our society try to block out how animals are killed for meat...people are too nieve.

I thought it was a very interesting programme. I am a meat eater myself but I do beleive very strongly in looking into the origins and conditions of the meat you buy. ethically produced is more expensive, so I eat meat less often. to be honest, I think if I were in the situation of killing for my own meat I think I could do it. I'm not a hypocrite.

i think that everything in this world is disgusting.if you start trying to find out everything abt food you might end up starving yourself!my bf is now vegetarian and is always trying to make me watch documentaries where they explain where the food we eat comes from but i really don't want to.it's might sounds odd but the vegetables we eat come from the ground and people might have been buried there years ago, people might have used those places for various reasons in the past.the water we drink might not be as clean as we think...

Good work Joey. This will atleast work as an eye-opener for others. Good.
