"The other side of the cube..."

So, today at work I get to sit and visit with my fellow co-workers on the "other side of the cubicle." These guys get to sit together, in low-walled cubes, allowing them to have free-flowing conversation (unlike my cubicle that has high walls and forces me to sit with... me). The topic of discussion started off with Bison... eating bison specifically. John, one of the CSEs here, explained that he went to his local, health-food supermarket called Sprouts, located in Sunnyvale, CA. Choosing from the various types of meat, he decided upon a lean cut of non hormone-treated Bison. He also explained that his fiance is adamant about choosing meat that is semi-humanely treated.... So, what does that mean? It's been a question that's been on my mind for quite some time now as my Cousin, whom I live with, has recently become a Vegan. She brings to my attention various health and moral reasons for turning away from animal products, but the suggestions normally stay just that...
