    Now animals wont just be raised for the slaughter, but for organ transplants as well. I sure am glad that america wont just eat healthily and not drink beer nonstop.

Or maybe it really is better, now its just the same pig slaughtered over and over and over and over and over (you get the point). Man, what did that pig do in its past lives to deserve that?
