Tomatoes have feelings too you know. I'm going to go home tonight and slice mine up with a big knife but I'm not sure if I should try and stun them first, but at least they had a happy life, they grew up on the Isle of Wight.

Was it half a second after Fallout dropped his trousers in a cowfield?

This maybe explains some of the history, not widespread at first but it started over 100 years ago according to this: http://www.hsa.org.uk/about/history-of-the-hsa

edit: Looks like 1933 was when it was "encouraged":

Slaughter of Animals Act 1933 was introduced. The Act required that the mechanical humane stunner must be used on all cattle and calves and that the electrical humane stunner or 'electrolethaler' be used on pigs in bacon factories. However, in slaughterhouses without electricity, pigs could still be stuck when fully conscious and the method of killing sheep was left to the discretion of local authorities. Appeals by the HSA eventually brought all these animals within the scope of the Act.

Reading this it would suggest all cattle in the UK should be stunned........

The tomatoes didn't die in vain and I tried not to let them suffer. The same cannot be said for the poor little pine nuts in the pesto though, blitzed to death in a blender then smeared all over ciabatta, what a way to go.

Oh yeah, I'd finished the lot in about 5 minutes I was starving!

The thing about vegetarians is they may not be eating meat but, of the plants they are eating, they are essentially ripping the unborn babies away from their mothers and devouring them.

If we ever discover sentience in the plant kingdom vegetarians are in serious trouble.
