You are what you eat
I sometimes think that if we thought more about where our food actually comes from, most of us would starve. From chicken ova, cow booby secretions, ox tongue (I object to eating something that has more taste buds than me), to the harmless marshmallow (which is made with rendered pig's fat), food is pretty gross when you give too much thought to it.

I always think it is a good idea not dwell too much on the likes of haggis and sausage either(mmm, offal!). Not to mention the partially spoiled foods like cheese. I prefer to live in blissful ignorance...meat comes from supermarkets not fluffy little animals :-)
True, ignorance has its merits!
I keep intending to read Peter Singer's 'Animal Liberation,' but I'm fussy enough without adding ethics into the equation.
You should watch Food Inc. It's an amazing but completely depressing film about where food comes from :-(
