Nick Kristof, carnivore, reflects upon life as a young farm boy. He enjoys eating animals, yep (though I should mention that pork chops make him uncomfortable, what with the knowing look pigs have in their tiny porcine eyes), but he thinks that "the brutal conditions in which they are sometimes now raised will eventually be banned." On that point, Kristof mentions California's Prop 2, the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, which would require that chickens and other edible farm creatures spend their lives in more humane conditions. More on that here.
