As it turns out, people are genuinely taken by surprise when they find out where sausage meat comes from, as evidenced by this amusing Portuguese video showing what happens when a fake butcher pretends to make sausage from scratch.

Obviously this is one of those "whacky" comedy shows where people get tricked into believing a scenario that's a conflict with reality i.e a camel driving a car, man disappears after he asks you to watch his dog, etc , etc.

This one raises a serious issue where people who eat animals are seriously offended when confronted with the reality of its origins. If people can eat their disgusting piles of charred flesh and not be bothered by how it came to be, then they'll keep eating it. But if they're shown how it's made and the suffering inflicted on those they consume then it becomes and ethical conflict. That's why we're kept as far away from that aspect of the meat industry, so we can distance ourselves from the horrors. Stop eating meat. Just knock it off.

If human can at least reduce their meat consumption, maybe the global warming can be reduced. Livestock produce a lot of CO2 which directly contribute to global warming.

Being a vegetarian is OK, vegetables s.a mushroom can also give the same nutritional value of meat.

People should try vegetarian food, I bet some of you will love it.

@Maukmaukvegan being a vegetarian and having a vegan lifestyle are two completely different things. Vegans do not consume or use anything that has animal byproducts in it. Vegetarians mainly choose to not eat meat, while some still eat fish, but do use products with animal byproducts in them. And for you to say that we need to move up the evolutionary ladder??? Moving up that ladder is exactly what we did by eating meat. We are at the top of the food chain for a reason. Speaking as an Animal Science major attending the Ohio State University, I can confidently say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with consuming meat. The ignorance, and uneducated views of many people is what leads to people such as yourself. Please, before you sway anyone else's views in the wrong direction with misguided information, do your homework and find out the facts.

@EnvyShadow In your comparison, you seem to have left out a stage. Certainly we are not suited to be carnivores. Honestly, most people eat far more meat than their bodies are meant to, which is why meat begins to rot in our system. Should people limit their consumption to the levels that our omnivorous bodies are designed to, we would not have such issues. We have molars AND eye teeth for a reason. Although I agree, many of the processes in which we acquire meat foods are cruel and/or horrific to watch. Eating meat in general is not bad. Doing so excessively and cruelly is. :)

Actually, we are not suited to eating meat AT ALL. if you compare us to carnivores such as lions or whatever, their canine teeth are used to tearing flesh, ours are pathetically small for that use, and they don't have molars, which herbivores do, for grinding up vegetable matter. Along with that, our digestive tracts are much too long for eating meat, compared with carnivores, meat actually starts to rot in our bodies because our colons are too long. There are many other ways in which we are not suited to it at all, but I'm not going to list them all.

hmmm...hungry after watching this!! Getting me some steak for dinner tonight! It isn't disgusting to eat meat. I do agree that some places need to go over their methods of their killing, but I went to a meat packing plant and took a tour. Honestly I was hungry for a good burger after it :)

I happily shoot and prepare my own meats. We as a species are made to eat it. If we did not there would be a huge over population problem with deer, pigs, cows ect.

Eating meat is disgusting, unethical, and primitive. Being a vegetarian and adopting a vegan philosophy is a way for us to evolve into more dignified and compassionate beings. Killing animals for food is not acceptable, no matter how the process is carried out. We are no longer cavemen. It's time to evolve up the evolutionary ladder.
