chickens can survive for a long time without their head, that says a lot.

Cows have bigger brains. Like banana said, it's like they know. They're more aware of the situation, same with pigs. I read that they release toxins at the time of their slaughter from fear, which is also in the meat.

When I look at red meat these days I see something on the same level as cigarettes. It's slowly killing you, not enough for you to notice.....but it can catch up to you in the future. The numbers for cancer related deaths in vegetarians is pretty low, and while I couldn't give up meat totally I'm trying to stay away from at least red and sticking to white meats & organic stuff whenever I can.

Or eat some ribs or steak. I break sometimes, like every once in a while I slip up and eat red meat. But after being without it for a while it starts to not settle in your stomach well.

Just convince yourself that the meat wasn't red at the time you ate it, and you won't feel guilty after.
