PETA may have a point on this one. Workers at a Pilgrim's Pride slaughterhouse have been filmed demonstrating their criminal lack of respect for living things by torturing living chickens.

Proving once again that the more you know about where your food comes from, especially industrial-scale food production, the more you consider giving up on eating alltogether. Between this, and the awful working conditions of vegetable farmers in California and Mexico, and all of the additives that get stuck in processed food for reasons other than maing the food better, you start to think the world is a pretty shitty place.

I'm starting to buy more organic type food mostly because it tastes better, but the rotten things that go on in industrial farming are another pretty compelling reason.
