Things I'd rather not know

Post by planet planet »

Does anyone want to know (if they're carnivores) where their food comes from? Does anyone want to watch movies or documentaries that depict the killing of their food? I know that's the whole purpose of this kind of footage, but I really, really don't want to see it. Grocery stores in Europe often time sell food with the head still on. Is that because Americans haven't evolved to the point of being able to accept that and/or is that how European grocers attest to the freshness of said product?

I think if you eat it you should know what it was and where it came from.

Not a huge meat eater but the less it looks like an animal part the better.

I also want to know its name and its next of kin so I can send my condolences for eating their mother/father.
