Ever wonder where your food comes from? In each episode of "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It," a diverse group of participants is challenged to procure their main course the old-fashioned way: by hunting and killing their chosen prey, butchering it in the slaughterhouse, helping to prepare it in the kitchen, and ultimately sampling it at the dinner table. Some may enjoy the process while others recoil, but for each diner it's an intense journey that just may change their perspectives -- and appetites -- forever.

Watch the premiere of "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It" on Tuesday, January 11 at 10/9c on Current TV.

    • Ok, thumbs down to the imbicile in the video that said, "Happy Cow". I live right around the corner from a dairy farm district in California, and let me tell you-- those cows are NOT happy. Forced to walk around very small lot yards and eat dead food (hay) instead of graze in pastures, like they were designed to do. They are also forced to lay in their own feces mud,drink water from feces contaminated "lake beds". They often get sick, cause when the poop is processed, etc, the stench radiates throughout the town's air, and it doesn't just smell like poop, it smells like cow diarrhea. They are probably still fed Monsanto's poisons, and they are most certainly injected with antibiotics.

      I have seen so much incredibly gross stuff on the internet, much of which most of the public had never been able to see until the world wide web came along in 1992, that killing my own food would seem like child's play.

      The "slaves" at meat processing plants deal with these stomach twisting activities hundreds of times a day.

    • "If you knew where it comes from, would you eat it?" Sure, how could this be a program idea at all? Bad schools? Ignorant parents? Disney?

      You seem to be missing the point. Our brains have been so desensitized to the horrid violence involved with hunting or preparing mammals for food, because most of us only have to deal with the finished product at grocery stores and restaurants -- heads chopped off, saran wrap, preaseasoned and stuffed raw meats all ready to go

      Many people would not be able to kill their own food for the same reason that they always block out the "tasty" visual bits on the popular tv show "Doctor G: Medical Examiner" when the doctor is pulling out the lungs or heart from a cadaver to examine and weigh them.

    • Obviously, there are going to be the smattering of humans, such as I, who are totally revolted by this entire concept. It breaks my heart, actually. It's rather a sad end to this year and, worse yet, a really devastatingly tragic beginning to a new year... especially for our animals.

      MY opinion, MY feelings, MY thoughts. Period.

      It would be interesting as streefland mentioned to find out the reaction of that "smattering" if they were represented on the show and how they would deal with it though.

    • I can't wait to see how our American audience is going to react to this show. It was a huge hit in Britain and I think it presents this "where does our food come from" issue in a very smart and thought provoking way. Let me know what you think.

    • Back to our primordial roots. I "freakquently" get the notion of the title of this little ditty, but more as it might apply to the circus animals around me as I walk down the street. Been associating the decline of the Circus with the street scene. More than three rings just walkin down the street. Life imitating showmanship? Must be that brain tumor acting up again. Who let those bats in here? As a veggie friend told me a long time ago, "I can kill a tomato."

    • It makes a lot of sense to have those kinds of useful skills, the only problem is that it takes a lot of time out of your day to do it all yourself.

      Maybe if you could hunt a bunch at a time and butcher enough to save up for a while it would be more practical.

      If all you're going to eat is beef then once in a while is enough. But if you want variety like chicken then it's going to have to be more often right?

      I know myself, I eat a lot more chicken than beef.

      yeah, but there's always fishing, etc. i kinda have an unfair advantage over most ppl when it comes to this kind of thing, i was raised in the country, soo... it really doesn't bother me, and i'd rather know where my meat was coming from, that way i'd know it was humanely handled.

      I've spent a lot of time in my life fishing and compared to the amount I've caught it's a very inefficient way to feed yourself.

      But doesn't that make my point that it all takes a lot of time if you do it all yourself? Fishing, wrangling chickens, slaughtering steer, barely enough time to do anything else besides that.

      I don't think anyone has said that we all go out and hunt all of our food all the time. Instead, the impression I got was to consider the effects of one's diet by intimate exposure of what is being purchased.
