I don't even go into that section never mind the labels. When in a checkout line I often mechanically look at the foods on the line and then at the customer. Often one can predict what is being bought and the shape of the customer. I think the only people who would feel any guilt from these labels would be children. Adults have pretty much become immune.

Another PETA sticker, tugging on your emotional heartstrings.

Yep

Yes I would... Although I generally eat mostly veggies, I do eat meat also...

It's an interesting perspective.

I have to respect those tapering off on red meat, as I have; most med science finds we eat too much of it.

Butchering is still a skill, and can be an expensive proposition.
While touring a mid-western cattle ranch last year, I asked the owner "what's holding back farmers from raising Buffalo" the answer wasn't the cost of the feed - it was the cost of the butchering harness.

Cattle can have their heads locked In rather inexpensively.

Buffalo, due to their almost missing neck and huge shoulders, need a very expensive harness.

Laws are now being considered and passed, allowing field slaughter. That way the animals aren't herded and guided in to slaughter locks....which builds up toxins in their flesh.

Once you've seen it...or have taken part in it...you "get it" and know that the best and smartest make sure that it's sudden and leaves the animal with little "suffering".

Those labels were slapped on the packaging by folk who I'm sure never experienced "butchering"; and it shows a bias of theirs...the animals aren't "named" - they are I.D. by number tags...and it's unkind and unfair of them to assign a name to the meat cut. They're trying to personalize this. That's wrong.

And it's a fact; taste is an acquired thing.

I do admire folk who've lowered or removed their taste for meat from their diet.

I've tried...I can't.

Yup no problem spent summers on grandads farm

This morning I held a 7 day old lamb! So sweet!!! It just occurred to me that I had lamb stew for lunch!

Yes, I'm a carnivore! Yum!

I do not buy dead animals. I am a vegetarian with compassion for my fellow animals.

Yep.
I do not succumb to emotional blackmail.

I don't eat beef or pork, so no.

don't eat much farmed meat - my choice is local home reared animals that I know gad a good life - plus the occasional road killed deer that regularly get hit around here .. they usually get taken away and incinerated - which seems a waste.

Pretty sure, I've had to butcher animals I raised from birth for food. wouldn't bother me if it had been raised next door and I petted it every day. I am just glad I don't have to butcher them myself anymore.

Yes...In 4h we raised calves and sold them at auction...we ate chickens we picked out in the yard...
