I will go against the grain of this current message board and say that I loved your article "All You Can Eat." What's GOOD about this article is that it features the small ranchers who are raising farm animals the humane way -- the way we did before corporate agribusinesses came and dragged down the quality of our meat with their greed.

No one mentioned in the article is "killing animals for pleasure" -- what a terrible thing to say. Slaughter for food has been an important part of human survival for many years. It's against Mother Nature -- no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to convert the world to vegetarianism.

I won't criticize anyone's personal life choices, but I think it is unfair to criticize this magazine for showcasing the good that a few omnivores are trying to do for other omnivores.
