3) Cows are pumped full of bgh bovine growth hormone. Research what this does not only to the cow, but to us after we consume it.
4) Cows are routinely fed other cow carcass (mad cow) and live in there own feces, big agro counters this with tons of antibiotics. As a result we have new super viruses that cannot be countered.
5) Only 10% of ground meat comes from the US, the majority is comprised of meat from China, where there is no EPA oversight.
6) Meat industry uses "glue" to join parts of a cow to make appear like a continuous piece of meat.
7) Big agro is one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington that routinely places their puppets in govt.
8) soy and spirulina actually have more protein than meat, despite how you have been brainwashed.

We eat more "meat" in the USA than any other country in the world and have more cancer than the rest of the world combined, don't think that's a coincidence.

This is the type of stuff they point out. At best it is undocumented pseudo science. I've never seen any of these claims proven with actual scientific studies. To me it is about as worthwhile as believing global warming is actually a problem and not something made up completely and falsified as much as possible.
