Why would the nature programs show lions and other assorted big cats knawing on some Yak leg bone? Maybe cheetahs etc only do that for cleaner teeth??? BTW, My old cat used to almost swallow mice whole. Well, at least after a few hearty crunches |

Most are concerned with human consumption gone wild. What we have in this country now days is NOTHING short of animal factories. I've seen it first hand. Animals aren't treated with any regard to pain, living conditions or anything short of getting them fattened up and ready for sale. There is also the aspect about what those huge farms are doing to the environment, let alone eating diseased animals.

Loogy, why jump on this as a political thing? I have a niece who is a veggan. She's also a conservative. She's also weird, which she wasn't until she started the veggan stuff. Nothing political about it. One of my sisters started telling me about how chickens do not have room to even stand up in the chicken factories. *I gave her a blank look and then replied, "This is 2009, why do chickens still have feet, we have no use for chicken feet". *She says, "What, you expect them to fly all the time?" *After some consideration, I said, "Yes, we could implant magnets in the chickens and levitate them, that way the number of chickens would not be dependent on the area of the chicken factory but on the volume. *There would be a rain of feed from the top and a conveyor feeding legless chicks from the top. *As the chickens grew, they would sink to the bottom to be carried away, easy engineering problem. *God, chicken feet, what a bizarre idea". *She gave me a horrified look and walked away.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Maybe the reason would become abundantly clear if YOU were in a cage with 8 other people so cramped in that you couldn't even lift an arm, vying for good and water.

I have never ever met a vegetarian who was NOT a nutcase. If this is so good for you, why is it that the practitioners of it are so agressively adamant about it? It seems to radically change their internal chemistry, and dominoes into their personality. Some of these people who you would think eat nuts and berries turn into people with the personality of grizzly bears. Just MHO, YMMV Steve Sure thing... grease burgers are heart food. I went without eating beef for 15 years, not because of my health but because of the perversity of supporting a system that plunders our country's resources. Vegetarians, in my experience, are more likely to be aware of their own health and the health of the environment. No wonder the Bigot Steve doesn't understand them. I've never been a true vegetarian but I've cut way down on meat. Sushi is my favorite, but a burger or roast can't be beat sometimes. Kid's are growing and the protein is good for them. We've relaxed but only buy beef that was raised well and died humanely. No feed lot purchases. Free range chicken/turkey. Getting a little freaked out by the overfishing so going easy on sushi. Make California rolls at home. Love uni and there's plenty of that. Have a friend who slow roasts ribs... Mmmmmmmm. Yeah... ribs.... I have a great recipe. I'd do that for the holidays, but everyone wants more traditional food. You might want to consider organic or biodynamic vs. free range: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/f...view/index.htm -- Nom=de=Plume |
