I would recommend watching a movie called Food Inc, it's on Netflix instant que. That movie will make you think more on where your food comes from. It's pretty messed up the way people treat animals that are only considered food.
I've heard of that movie Mogurako. Never saw it because video doesn't work on my computer, but I've heard that it really is terrible. I used to be a vegetarian years ago and what got me started was a book called Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. Yeah, he is a member of PETA and I know they are a little extreme sometimes, but there is alot of information in that book that alot of meat eaters don't want to know. I've encountered it time and time again when trying to explain to people how chickens and cows are kept, how they are killed and what all goes into the meat production process. And the most common reaction? "Oh, dont tell me that. I just don't want to know". Yeah, ignorance is bliss. (I have to admit that I stopped being a vegetarian out of laziness. Hubby is basically a meat and bread eater. Its hard to have two people eating two different diets when you don't have much money, so it was just easier to change my diet. But we are divorcing and I plan to go back to being vegetarian again soon. Although I must admit, and I cringe when I say this, that I did and will, eat fish. It is harder now as a fish keeper. I didn't keep fish when I was first a vegetarian. And I know that fish aren't all kept or killed in the most humane fashion, but they are definitely treated better than cows and chickens)
