I think part of the issue is that as a society we moved too far away from what we are. I was raised on a farm. I saw chicken heads cut off and sheep slaughtered, but it was all done in.. what is the word I am looking for here.. in a non-industrial manner. You knew you were taking a life and you tried not to make it ( edit: unnecessarily ) painful and not a pointless sacrifice ( in western society anyway some ethos definitely developed over time ).

But buying a mcnugget at mcdonalds removes that clear connection between life and death.

<< It feels like a distraction from thinking about fixing the way the hens get treated through their miserable lives.

It is a distraction, but I believe it is a valid related point nonetheless.
