Robb Walsh takes Beef 101

Professors in the Meat Science Section of the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University teach this 3 day class for food professionals, chefs and anyone interested in learning more about beef. Students evaluate cattle for beef quality--then follow the animals through the slaughtering and evisceration process. Teams of students cut up sides of beef and learn butchering basics.

It is only by softening and disguising dead flesh by culinary preparation that it is rendered susceptible of mastication or digestion, and that the sight of its bloody juices and raw horror does not excite intolerable loathing and disgust. ~Percy Shelley

I'm also a vegetarian, and I completely agree with tocmo0nlord. The video isn't offensive at all. Living conditions are sad though, and gross how they inject the cows with stuff to make them bigger and more profitable. We really don't know what we're eating or where it's been. Vegetables aren't much different, but at least you know when you bite into a carrot, there's no chance of there being bone fragments or veins and chewy fat in there. yyeeeeuck!

im hungry

I was not as shocked as i thought i would be knowing that the animal is quickly knocked out and murdered painlessly (i hope so). Still i believe meat is not for human consumption at the rate that its going. Ideally its a pound and a half per week of meat intake that a human should consume and we are far away from that. It is very sad how the animal obey the orders from humans feeling protected and they just get stabbed. But then again we stab each other lol

I.....was actually pleasantly surprised. The animal was killed as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Of course, the problem is often living conditions prior to the actual slaughter....
