My brother-in-law said that if mother nature had not meant for us to eat animals, she would not have made them out of meat.

[m911gt]

hmm, maybe everyone should stop eating meat and watch the US GDP decline due to so many industries being negatively affected. ha, i feel a tiny bit bad for the animals but meat is an integral part of my life.

lol, suuuure...not what Mike told me.

in all seriousness though, i've lived in Wisconsin my entire life and it's funny to me how websites like PITA and chooseveg.com don't show any smaller dairy or beef farms in the Midwest...on my drive to school i probably pass 10 small farms that have animals just to sustain their family's lives...for so many people that i personally know, farming is their means of survival. of course large scale operations border on cruelty, everyone in America (at least) needs everything quick and cheap and those objectives cannot be fulfilled by giving each animal 100 acres to roam during the day and reading them bedtime stories at night...maybe I am cruel but give me a f'n break.

I'm with you on that one. If it were up to me I'd raise my food, but it's just not realistic. I think it's that way for the majority of all industrialized nations, not just here.

[eTiMaGo]

indeed, it's a whole chain, isn't it... and even if mcdonalds started selling only McTofus, it's not like all those farmers could survive growing soy beans...

Yes sir. I wonder if there are websites acting against Amish people in the US? There are probably hundreds of Amish families in my area and they are quite different from the "average" US citizen. They pretty much raise their own food, use horses and buggies to get everywhere, use minimal electricity and plumbing, and I'm sure practice many non-traditional means of survival.

and since McDonald's owns more land than the US gov't, we'd be in more trouble than people could imagine if let's just say, McDonald's ended up going out of business. It sounds stupid and yes, it's kind of sad, but I think it's true.

Then someone will complain about how each soybean plant is grown too close to each other and they don't have the opportunity to wave freely in the wind.:biggrin:

That was not disturbing.

I am fond of history. Pyramids are cool.

The food pyramid would not look right if they removed meat and poultry and it would collapse!

Funny

[LtNoogie]

The pyramid would not collapse but would suffer.

Did you photoshop that? haha

[jclo3313]

Even beter. Good Lt.:biggrin:

[Rain]

I think I haven't eaten meat in a week or so..
I'd probably be a vegan/vegetarian if I didn't like bacon so much.

[LtNoogie]

Yes.:smile:

Even beter. Good Lt.:biggrin:

Last thing I did before leaving work.

[yaris-me]

Not all food production resorts to cruelty. Though what was shown is pretty bad.:frown:

[BailOut]

Yet another reason to eat organic and free range, as if anyone needed another reason.

Just because an animal is destined to be food does not give anyone the right to treat it cruelly.

[ZING]

^^ Yeh, fkin hell. That was quite disturbing.

Thanks for the picture :thumbsup: We would not be able to call it a pyramid with a piece missing!

Brian...... free range animals are harder to catch :biggrin: and pehaps we should leave weapons out on the range so the chickens, turkeys and cows can organize and fight back! :eek: Your diet would consist of the slowest animal of the day!
