I don't eat meat Brett, because I can't be a part of any of the things I talked about above. As a moral issue I don't think eating meat is wrong, it's completely natural. If were treated like living things then one day killed I'd eat them. But that's never going to happen because it's not as cheap as "factory farming".
McDonalds did just recently change their policies about how their animals were treated, but don't be thinking they're a good guy in this, they've been starving the chickens for the last 20 years. They're still factory farming, but they aren't doing the "forced molting" anymore and they claim they're going to have regular inspections of their meat-plants.
Also the only reason they've done any of this is PETA has been running a "McCruelty" campaign that finally started to worry them.
The other big fast-food chains followed their lead except for Burger King.
