Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. We know that if someone offers to show us a film on how our meat is produced, it will be a horror film.

Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own. β¨ Eating Animals. Book by Jonathan Safran Foer, March 4, 2010.
