Remember, the cows, chickens and pigs we eat for dinner did not commit suicide.
I love your last sentence. I understand what you are saying.
However, not that it is in our food supply, but if it was....they should declare that it is.......especially in these "questionable" prepared or processed type foods where it's similar to minced chopped or ground beef, etc.

p.s. Vermonters eat venison (deer meat). Also, at hunting camp, I would make chili with ground beef to send up with him......but the other guys would bring things like squirrel stew, plus other "rodent" type delicacies.......the old time Vermonter knew how to "live off the land". There used to be "game suppers" with moose, bear, etc.
