In regards to eating meat

[Bring4th_Austin]

I've been wondering about the thought process which goes on behind the scenes. It looks like a lot of hard work has been going into this process! Do you happen to recall the name of the movie? Is it on Netflix?

The movie is a biopic simply called Temple Grandin...her story is pretty amazing. Her inspiration for working in the livestock industry came from battling her own fear and anxiety due to autism. Definitely a really cool story.

She mainly worked in the cattle industry restructuring slaughterhouses, but her work has had a major impact on humane animal husbandry all across the board. The idea of finding out what specifically causes psychological triggers within animals to feel fear or anxiety and eliminating those triggers is how most animal welfare standards are set.

Something I've also wondered about is if the emotional state of an animal throughout its incarnation has an effect on the healthfulness of the meat when eaten. Do you have any recommendations for looking deeper into this subject?

Unfortunately I don't know of any legitimate or literal information about the nutritional effects of meat raised in fear and anxiety and meat raised in a happy and natural setting. Some people have suggested that, since fear and anxiety release certain chemicals into the body, animals living in fear and anxiety would have different nutritional value to the meat, but I don't know if that is verifiable or not.
