Meet your meat!

[CatWoman]

This has got to be the saddest thing I have ever seen... I couldn't even finish watching it! I never considered vegetarianism, but I think I should. I understand there is a high demand for meat, but this is absolutely intolerable! If this is not animal cruelty, then what is?

I haven't watched the video because... well I don't want to.
I haven't eaten beef in a month and I had maybe half a steak over the last 2 months and I can't stand pork.
I'm trying to cut out red meat and I've cut down the chicken a lot.
Morningstar is my friend! Their stuff is great. You won't miss meat at all. I cook with their "meat" crumbles and it's yuuuummy. Try their stuff, it's very good.

I watched it ... it's pretty dramatized but makes a good argument.

I say if someone doesn't have the ability to go chop the head off of his or her own food, then that persion shouldn't be eating meat to begin with. And the other point to take away from this is that we have waaaay too many people on this earth as it is.

Eat organic.

Eat organic.

I second that. If you can afford it, and are bothered by factory farming, try products of sustainable farming. For more info, check out http://www.themeatrix.com/

Places like whole foods, and trader joes have organic crap, you can find more places from that site and watch a fun flash video clip.

I feel like chicken tonight

[CatWoman]

Yup I've decided... no more red meat (but I love steak ) or pork. Chicken, once a month or so... but I'll have all the dairy products... I used to give my dog pig ears for treat! Noooo, now I know how they're made .... I was telling my cousin about my new diet, and he said I can still eat at McDonald's cause they use worm meat!!!! Has anyone else heard of this before? I think its a rumor or so I hope... nah, its a rumor, it can't be.
Thanks siggie, never heard of morningstar before, but I found their website.

I heard KFC actually uses lab grown chicken meat, it's not even from real chickens.

Lab grown chicken meat?? KFC uses real chickens, they just inject them full of tons of vitamins and crap, but definitely nothing like lab grown meat. You can be sure we'd have heard more about it if they had gone further than just growing goldfish tissue in labs.

Cows used for their milk are kept in conditions that are just as bad as those chickens in the video. They are hooked up to milking machines and injected full of vitamins and don't even get to see the light of day because they are caged in warehouses and hooked up to the milking machines all day long. I am telling you people, go organic. It is a law now, as far as we can trust these things to be followed to the letter, that something that has an 'oganic product' label must follow certain guidelines so you can more or less trust the source is better than a chicken factory. You pay more for it but I think it's well worth it.
