Jonathan Safran Foer on “humane meat”:

Q: You found a relatively humane slaughterhouse in northern Missouri, Paradise Locker Meats. What kind of effect did it have on you?

A: I don’t think anybody is indifferent to it. The people who work there aren’t indifferent to it. It’s bloody and violent, although that doesn’t make it wrong. Childbirth is very bloody. I really respected (owner) Mario Fantasma and the efforts they were making and that they let me in in the first place.

But there’s a lot about it that was difficult. It’s not appetizing.

Some people would say it’s just a regretful and necessary part of the process. But it’s not necessary. We don’t have to eat meat.
