I'm not one of those people who thinks family is composed of only humans or humans who are biologically related. That doesn't mean that 99% of dairy products are from family farms , as the average number of cows on each family farm is just over 100. The cows' tails swing in the breeze. But so are family farms.

The kids made tortillas from scratch and then went to a factory to see how professionals do it. Any other factories on the agenda? The site says food production factories are included , but I doubt that means those involving the slaughter of animals.). How about an ethical adventure ? fun" said one (female) child.

I know on some level, I think that’s something almost all of us can get behind…no one, except the most callous and cold-hearted of the human race things its fine to torture animals, or deny that they are capable of pain and suffering. This narrow, frankly ignorant point of view is complete hypocrisy.

Their claim is that what has become the customary way to take sentient nonhumans from babyhood to untimely death is not humane. No factory farms, no large-scale operations where animals are crammed together under a roof, never to see the light of day. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig.

Here are some tidbits: Keith believes humans need to embrace the consumption of animal products, including beef, or else face severe and chronic health problems. Some might argue that Keith has simply become an advocate of “happy meat”—local, grass-fed, sustainably produced, and humanely raised meat. But that would be unfair.

The underlying premise is that you can know what is right (such as me knowing what's right then eating cow flesh in the form of filet mignon for a year), but that by no means will necessarily manifest in your behavior.

The veracity of this statement hinges on Scott's definition of "inhumane," and that definition must be very, very restricted, and clearly unrelated to the realities of our modern factory farm system. We give them human names and provide them with the same amenities we enjoy as humans. What's all this about emotion, anyway?
