I could not imagine meat packing plants would butcher cows that are
near dead either. Or that some would be anger and shocked to point of
changing their diets. Guess we have to pick our points to find just
what may be outrageous.


The animal industry has always been a horror show. Now that mad cow disease is out there, and bird flu and who knows what, people are taking their dietary habits much more seriously and wanting to know what they are eating and where it came from and how it was raised.

Ever wonder why we are so fat as a nation? Look at the loads of hormones pumped into the animals to make them fatter, to make them give more milk, etc. etc. It makes the cow or chicken get fat, we eat it and we get fat.

My son and his wife are totally vegetarian. Unfortunately even though I know how to cook a lot of vegetarian food, my blood glucose doesn't really like it all that much. But I try to eat less meat than most folks.

The best part of Capitalism is that when people get turned off to eating sick and downed animals, they will eat less beef and the industry will start to lay off people and begin to bleed through their wallets, which is the only way anyone could ever influence them.

There is good reason why natural foods are the wave of the future in the food industry. People are sick of stuff like that downed cow business. If an animal is going to die to feed you, it ought to at least be able to give its life in peace, not cruelty and violence.
