An acquaintance in...Thanks for posting about this. An acquaintance in an online vegetarian community had mentioned this (then upcoming) episode and I'd been curious about it. From what I'd read on Oprah's site, it sounded as if it was going to be another "happy meat" vs. "factory farmed meat" story, basically attempting to portray the eating of non-factory-farmed animals as ethical. <BR/><BR/>Your point about "conscious meat eating" being akin to child molesters realizing the suffering of the children they molest is bang-on and is similar to comparisons I've tried to use to explain my own thoughts and feelings about this whole "happy meat" movement that Michael Pollan's kick-started. (You may get a kick out of Gary Francione's work, by the way, if you haven't checked him out already.)<BR/><BR/>I look forward to hearing your podcast episode!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800153451645970774noreply@blogger.com
