If one is unaware of this fact, needless maltreatment of animals looms.

I do not think it means one has to be prepared to personally kill animals to eat meat. It's gross, bloody. (Not to mention, a profession I think is best left to professionals, or people who know exactly what they're doing) I am all for transplanting human organs, but it does not mean I am willing to cut out a kidney from a human corpse. Unless in case of emergency, which is, like the odds of me having to kill for food, not very likely to happen.
OK, I find this offensive. No self-respecting Frenchman should eat frozen ham. I'm shocked at the insinuation that it is in the frozen food section. And, in less there is an advanced grafting technique involved, or that Europe is genetically altering it's cows, I'm quite sure that you can't slice ham off of a live cow; or any cow for that matter.
