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. We
perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark
places of our memory-- disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we
live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is
becoming our own.
