Still, does pain-free meat really mean guilt-free?

Good clip.
I think dealing with the pain 'problem' does in fact lessen the 'feel bad 'factor of meat eating.

Eating meat bothers me on a deep level if I think about it. So I try not to think about it TN.

If I thought I could stick to it, I'd be a vegetarian.

Well I think they have already found a way to grow animal flesh without bringing a brain to life.

I draw the line at what's "natural". Plants are made to be eaten. They evolved that way and have adapted. Being eaten spreads seeds, thins out the area of too many plants etc. I can't think of any "cruel and inhumane" treatment we're afflicting on plants as such, off the top of my head.
