Nice one K Bike. I've been a 'veggi' for years now! Seems that people just refuse to see what is on their plate. When I get asked the qustion WHY? I have learnt to keep it simple for simple minds. 1. Animal cruelty. I hate it. 2. Personal health. Just look at the risks. 3. Global hunger. Almost 60% of the worlds population is underfed and meat production is a primary reason and it seems a bit unfair to me.
Other reasons such as antibiotics becoming useless (after the wheel they must be humanities greatest discovery! remember the millions that died of post operation infection until the 1930's.) and animal poo blasting the ozone layer apart never seems to convince people. They aint never going to get ill, the science is to complicated for their brains and all animals poo anyway, so whats my problem....?
I visit Romania a good deal, and there I am known to eat the flesh. The difference is that it is a rural community and the goose, pig, chicken, goat or whatever lives out in the yard and leads a real life and is highly valued and well treated as a result.
When I was a kid (oh so long ago...) the 'sunday roast' was a treat and would feed us for days after. What happened?
Thanks for the great link. Will get passed about. Pity about the unconverted though! Boris the Bike.
