Sorry, but I'm with the general CP side. Meat eating is part of our genetic makeup through evolution. We have the teeth to tear apart meat and the digestive system to digest it. I don't doubt that today's farmed and slaughtered animals are fed with certain amounts of otherwise questionable byproducts as feed (chicken feathers ground up for protein supplement), certain antibiotics and drugs, etc. but much of our commonly available vegetables and grains are also genetically modified and also heavily fertilized. I have absolutely no problem with that and eating those foods and believe all the fear-mongering about it is simply hysteria built on the same psyche that generates conspiracy theories not based on sound rational logic or science. I was raised on this food and I'm perfectly fine (at least I think I am!!!). The human animal is much more adaptable and resistant than you would think. Is there a problem with antibiotics and fertilizer use? Yes it's leading to the evolution of more and more resistant pests and organisms and disease, but there's not much that can be done about it without overturning the entire food production industry worldwide.
I have nothing against Vegetarians or Vegans etc., but it is definetely a personal choice and not something that needs to be preached to everyone else like it's a fataing religion.

Although your conclusions are mostly correct, your knowledge of food production is just as bad as Sowa's.
