I don't really have an opinion on this stuff.... we purchase local/free range whenever it's available because we believe animals should be treated humanely, and I won't lie - I love a juicey filet mignon whenever I can....but other than that, I'm kind of live and let live in this department.

However, all this does make me think of the Ron White joke/statement from his "They call me Tater Salad" tour :

[on vegetarianism] "I didn't climb to the top of the fuckin' food chain to eat carrots."

That always makes me laugh!
