Go organic, with inflation the premium on organics isn't barely there now.

It's a better quality of product and doesn't send their cows to feedlots.

I've seen industrial farming and it's not pretty, but more than anything it products a pretty crappy product now compared to organic.

You eat a lot less as the quality leaves you satisfied.

That doesnt solve the problem of slaughtering a sentient being for 5 minutes of taste pleasure which I think he was trying to avoid

Happily, I see your original comment has been downvoted. Im not sure how wanting to reduce suffering is cult-like but each to their own...

Really.. Is that what you are doing, seems more like you just want to be violent toward others and have built yourself a causi belli to engage that way.

> wanting to reduce suffering

Bullshit, you don't give 2 shits about that, you want to increase suffering in actual sentient beings.

Which a cow is not. Hence you are in a cult because what else would you call that position??

You are not a moral agent and you don't get to define what others can and can't do when it comes to food production.

Organics is a fantastic way to go, it just shows how full of shit you are to go against that.

Liar.

I don't think any organic certifications regulate the method of slaughter. If you go to a local farmer, maybe there's a more humane method of slaughter (although the vast, vast majority of even local farmers will contract out slaughter and butchery), but organic at Walmart is probably going to be processed more or less identically to other meat.
