Jamie Oliver is a stupid idiot....what a cruel person to show this live........facts of life are not always pleasant but you don't have to flaunt it and not even feel bad about it....I for one will NEVER watch one of his shows again.

I COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH TOO, HILARIOUS WITH HIM CUTTING UP THE MEAT THEN THIS TOPIC. I TELL YOU. I DIDN'T VIEW THE VIDEO, PROBABLY WOULD'VE CRIED FOR POOR CHICKS TOO. BUT NOW ANIMALS WEREN'T PUT ON THIS DAMN EARTH TO LOOK AT VEGANS. SORRY, AND I DO SKIP MEAT FOR MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS AT A TIME, BUT THEIR PURPOSE IS FOR FOOD LOOK AT THE FOOD CHAIN. I SWEAR IF I GET A FUR AND SOMEONE THROWS PAINT ON IT I'M SERIOUSLY GOING TO KICK A** AND THEN MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT.

I agree. he can't make a point about being an animal activist and yet make meat dishes. However, I think in the picture in the top is of him chopping red peppers.

LOL!!! I laughed too at that picture. It looks like some kind of pepper that he's cutting up, but your comment was still hilarious.:P

I watched the video and I did cry for the poor little chickies because they WERE very cute and fluffy....but I still dig a stuffed chicked breast or some hot wings. I think the only thing that creeps me out about most meats now is all the hormones and crap they put in them. I work in a middle school and it seems like kids are 3 times the size that they were when I was a kid. I think it's the hormones messing with their growth.

Mmmmm..... meeeeeeeat... yummmmm.... Nothing like some tasty dead animals, tell ya what! 'Specially if ya kin throw 'em on th' grill and singe 'em just a little bit first! I bet vegans are even tastier! Yup.. Nothing like a nice chicken-fried vegan!! Hooo-BOY!

OK, seriously, the fact is, MJ, yes, we DO need animal protein for proper nutrition, and vegans and vegetarians can rail all they want against that fact with rebuttals that our protein needs can be met with vegetable protein, blah blah blah, but in fact they cannot. Side note: Ironically enough, many vegetarians/vegans have disproportionately high cholesterol, higher than those who eat red meat.

Eating meat is neither evil nor immoral, or unhealthy (assuming you're not eating something full of artificial stuff). It has been and always will be a necessary part of a healthy complete diet. It is naive and demonstrative of a misplaced empathy to believe otherwise. Should we be respectful of and thankful for the life we are taking in eating meat? Certainly. Are you respectful and thankful for the life you take in choosing to eat only plant matter? Yes, it's only a PLANT's life, but where's the cut-off point? The point I'm making is that it is a mistake to think that animals are not to be eaten - if you feel that they are, then you'd better ask yourself what you CAN eat that doesn't kill, exploit, use, or interrupt the life/propagation process of some sort of living organism for a purpose other than their natural tendency to propagate and survive.

Was it wrong for Oliver to kill the chicks on stage to make his point? Sure. It was pointless and shocking, and dreadfully tasteless. Should we treat our animals humanely and respectfully when we take their lives in order to provide meat? Absolutely. But should we delude ourselves into believing it WRONG or unnatural that we should eat meat? Absolutely NOT.

Man, all this talk about food and meat has made me hungry. Think I'll go have a Boca Burger with a side of fried pork rinds..... mmm.. KRUNCHY!!!

Hey, I'm a vegan too, and I wanted to completely disagree with the person who commented beneath you. From a strictly nutritional standpoint, if we are ignoring the inhumanity of the slaughterhouses, and just looking it as, well, humans gotta eat, no, we don't need animal protein, and many people survive just fine without it. Most vegetarians and vegans are in fact healthier than those consuming meat products, and are able to get the right amount of protein and other nutrients including calcium from soy products. Biologically, we are better suited to be herbivores, than omnivores or carnivores. Our jaw moves side to side in a grinding motion rather than up and down so as to swallow most of our food whole like other meat-eating animals. Don't even bring up, oh we have canines, when is the last time you tried to tear a hunk of raw meat from an animal carcass with those things? Horses also have sharp teeth in front, they are for tearing and sheering. We are most closely related to monkeys therefore we should probably be classified as frugivores, much like they are. Tell me the next time you see a dead animal and your mouth starts to water, you don't have the instincts to kill or eat an animal that hasn't been grilled or broiled, seasoned with spices or topped with sauce! I have many more reasons why we are not suited to be omnivores, but I'll stop.

am sending you a lifetime membership to the omaha steak club enjoy

take a meats processing course at a university. the only animals that are treated inhumanely are the ones that are (sadly) raised in ILLEGAL slaughterhouses. those illegal ones are shut own as soon as possible. PETA only shows videos of the bad places just to make people think that's how they all are. more power to you for being vegan, but i didn't climb to the top of the food chain to eat carrots...

I LOVE YOU OMNIVORE. YOUR POINT HAS BEEN LUCIDLY TAKEN. NO REALLY I LOVE YOU. :) LOL

Chicken Little comes to mind...

What about Barnyard? I know that isn't Pixar but it's a computer animated film about animals on the farm? Not to mention movies like Babe and Charlotte's Web!

There is a pixar movie with a chicken as a main character... ever hear of Chicken Little? And as for a cow... I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but there are plenty of cow cartoons for the little kiddies.. like Home on the Range?
