http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video...r=wm&speed=_med i rec'd this link today from a friend to whom we constantly argue about "why i eat meat" its horrifying i agree but in no way can one compare the destructive disregard of production meat processing to my hunting... yes i kill animals for food...not for a fucking trophy room in my million dollar house!i alsoonly kill animals that have not been introduce to any for of abuse or steriod injections and any other chemical enhancements that go on.... my point for this post is vegan-ism is not the answer either! our bodies are designed for the digestion and processing of meats, many meats that we now eat were only introduced in the last 2 hundred years.... meat eating is not a problem, supporting the meat industry is... most of you have a love of so many things material that you could not fathom altering your lifestyle to the extreme as i have... but their are simpler ways researching your area for farm raised chickens and pork, rabbit can be raised in your home for food... but a total abandonement of meat simply becuase you dont agree with the way an animal was raised? what the fuck is that! that is like saying boycott cars becuase they introduce harmful levels of carbon monoxide to the air or how about this eliminate the microwave since it introduces radiation to your diet...small amounts?... any amout of radiation is unhealthy! ooo... oooo... i know lets stop breathing and walk everywhere we go cuz its just not right! well does any of the vegans realize chemical pesticides are more harmful to the human body than 100 packs of cigarettes...oh i know now we will hear from the ones who will say only organic veggies... you are but a small few! my point is to be extreme and stand on the soap box of what is right we must examine evrything we do becuase simply put EVRYTHING needed for animals(including humans) to survive is provided by a living earth and we are no better than anyone else if we only choose to see one evil as more of an evil than any other... anything man puts his hands on will become tainted if all of his heart is not pure.... progress you say.... there can only be destruction in the wake of progress... for man will overlook life in the name of making life better!
if they can grow muscles and livers for medical reasons then they could do it for FOOD too. I believe that if there is enough of a demand for vegetarian food, technology will introduce those alternatives to the marketplace. My vegetarianism is a silent protest to my creator that I do not wish to live in a world where another must suffer for me to survive. I am grateful for my life but I am very hopeful that there will be a better way.
