     · Since the animals we raise for food would not be alive   
   if we didn't raise them for that purpose, it's a distortion of   
   reality not to take that fact into consideration whenever   
   we think about the fact that the animals are going to be   
   killed. The animals are not being cheated out of any part   
   of their life by being raised for food, but instead they are   
   experiencing whatever life they get as a result of it. ·
