nice to see that (some) vegans are just so well balanced....

Not sticking up for the veganistas at all, but it is a touch on the odd / morbid side to come along and pick your turkey, give it a name, care for it (Turning it into a family pet?). Then whipping its head off and stuffing it ready for the big day in December?
Do you consider farmers odd/morbid?ReaperCushions said:

If your going to kill and eat it, why not give it a good life 1st!ReaperCushions said:

the argument is that you're making people aware of where their food comes from....Picking a live Turkey is a very odd concept. Why not just butcher them and let people pick which one they want that way? They are all turkeys and ultimately will taste similar with similar textures. Most people can't cook a turkey to save their life anyway and would be better off with a frozen one

Do you consider farmers odd/morbid?What I think is odd is inviting people to 'take care' of the turkeys, give them names and effectively turn them into pets, prior to slaughter and eating them.
I have no issue with eating them (I do myself!) and I have no issue with farmers giving them a good life and then slaughtering them for me to eat. Its the emotional relationship building with the end consumer that I honestly find strange for those end customers to want to experience.
