Did anyone else see the news item earlier this year about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg choosing to only eat meat from animals he'd slaughtered himself? I was still eating meat at the time, but I nevertheless found the story rather bizarre.
Just found out about a UK series called "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It" that reminded me of the Mark "The Butcher" Zuckerberg story. The first episode is up on ABC's iView at the moment. For reality TV, it isn't so bad, although there are some annoying personalities there, it is fairly even-handed. There are quite a few meat-eating bloggers who said they found it educational as well. I do wish they had filmed on a more mainstream larger scale farm and production line abattoir, more representative of the bulk of retail meat. Perhaps the problem is that the large scale farms and abattoirs won't allow filming because they think their sales might drop.
