is the difference between the animals we pet and the animals we eat carved in flesh with cold, steel utensils?

This is the thread for a serving of healthy food, a healthy planet, and a clear conscience.

"Reality: If you came across a jumper -- an animal that beat the odds and escaped slaughter -- your first inclination would probably be to rescue, care for, and nurture that animal. You would likely care deeply. And you know that. And the fact that your choices don't align with that makes you uncomfy. That's called cognitive dissonance. Really being introspective and changing takes courage. But we see people do it every day." --The Hopeful Herbivore
