Humanely Raised Ham?

I came across this sign in one of my favorite eateries in the Flatiron District, The City Bakery

This sign struck me as being sort of silly. Humanely raised before we slaughter you and slap you on a piece of bread with gruyere. Is part of the humane treatment to avoid humiliation by being paired with a pedestrian cheese like ordinary american?

Yes, this noise in my head is truly never ending.

    sounds like Prop 2 in California – this was on the ballot in November – humanely treatment of chickens, etc. before they go to the slaughterhouse – it’s an oxymoron. If you don’t like it – become a vegetarian!

    Yes, the humanely raised pigs live on a lovely farm where all the animals talk and they are tended by little girls named Fern and befriend the local spiders!!!
