Have you people no decency ?!?

So I was watching Dirty Jobs until 3 this morning, and I noticed that the Discovery Channel made a point to show several disclaimers before they showed the processing of dead cows, and then later ducks. How can it come to be that a society which is obsessed with tragedy and fixated on violence suddenly be offended by the innards of an animal that nearly everyone eats? Rachel Ray can display all the raw meat she feels like, but society has developed a disconnect so they may feel secure in the food they have been raised to enjoy without any concern as to where it actually comes from. It leads one to wonder why an individual who can't handle the sight of a dead animal can eat pounds of meat a week without any preponderance of this blatant hypocrisy upon which their life is based. I'm no veggie, but that doesn't mean I'm not concerned about the source of my nourishment. It's just irresponsible to go around supporting unsustainable factory farms that slaughter unhealthy animals and grind those that don't quite make it to slaughtering age up as feed for the next batch. I often wonder if I'm simply the only sane person in the country that actually understands the full impact that I have on the world, if people in other countries are equally naive, or if the rest of the world has just found sanity in the absurd and I'm the maladjusted. I often find myself in a rigid set of habits, but always manage to question those habits to achieve a full perspective on what I'm doing to this world I was thrown into. I imagine that society as a whole would benefit from this point of view, but ruts are comfortable and the notion that you're very existence is damaging the world is probably too much for most to handle. Well that kinda turned into a self-righteous rant, I really just wanted to comment on the fact that Discovery Channel viewers must be rather easily offended.

Also, in his adventures at a chicken farm, Mike Roe posed the old "chicken or egg" question to all the workers, and I was disappointed that none of them got it right. The answer of course is the dinosaur.
