I suppose seeing one of these farms/slaughter houses in person, watching a good documentary, reading a compelling article or quite possibly playing one of those games, you might change your viewpoint, but the reality is I think the issue is more complex than that. I think you either decide to eat meat or you don't based on a litany of more compelling reasoning than being shown the realities of the food processing business. You'd think we'd be a bit more sophisticated than that and actually be aware that the food we get gets processed. Whether an animal is killed how someone deems humanely or not, they're still being killed and eaten. You're either fine with that or you're not. I'm personally fine with that as I believe humans are designed for and thrive on a good mixed diet, which includes meat. I know my sister-in-law doesn't eat red meat because of how they're slaughtered. But she has no problem with chicken or fish, for instance. Seems kind of naive to me. Kiilling is killing. With that said, my wife and I try to minimize the red meat these days for health reasons, and rely mostly on things like chicken, fish and the occasional tofu. But it's not for any philosophical reasons.
