Meat, it is the one thing in the world that everyone loves, except for vegetarians. We love it whether its grilled, fried, steamed, boiled and in as a delicacy in Ethiopia, Raw. These days meat will come packed and frozen in the grocery store or bloody and fresh from the market. Nevertheless meat has been distributed to us in such a way that we people are completely detached from the killing. We live at least miles away from the nearest slaughterhouse; we are distant from the dry screams of dozens of cows, chickens and pigs being freshly slaughtered every day. Of course for the many meat lovers of the world, the taste of freshly killed meat is completely different from the frozen grocery type or bloody market meat. Also meat that wasn’t fed processed feeds tastes completely different from meat that has grown in the wild.
