- Whatever they do to animals (biologically) in massfarming they also do to vegetables (not to mention the more deadly and detrimental pesticides found in f&vs). The only way around hormonse and GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) is to buy organic.

-If you are concerned about the chemicals found in meat I don't even want to hear you chew gum, drink pop, eat pizza, eat at restaurents or consume any other viable junk food or premade foods because that would just be hypocrtical.

- If you're concerned that man is playing God with animals through GMO... then you're in the wrong century. That or I must have missed the history lecture when God comes down on the 2000414124981 day and says "Let there be high-speed internet!"

- Walk into a grocery store. This is a great representation of the relation between resources and population. 95% of the food is necessarily man made. Not because we like to make stuff but mainly because our population is too huge to feed on the ideal organics.
(I'm totally pro GMO's)

- If you're concerned about the treatment of animals, the cruelty towards them... that's understandable, but there are other solutions than just jumping off the bridge. Try koshur or free range. Your cows will have lived full and happy lives.

- Your colon will be happy... but meats hold essential proteins that aren't simply replaced by eating the equivalent mass of tofu. You may have to supplement what you're lacking with vitamins/minerals pills.

- I'd be more concerned about the free trade and human/culture/political exploitation occurs where by basically the only fertile land of another culture is bullwarked from the people of that land and utilized by the big corporations of our culture to feed into our huge wasteful consumption culture. Consequently, another culture starves because we're using their land to feed Fastfood chain beef.

Really what I think I'm saying is that it's almost futile to logically become a vegetarian. The only reason you should be a vegetarian is simply because you damn well want to be and you really could care less what any of us meat slobbering cudd nuts think.




.... and no.
I'm an omnivore
I locate ultimate peace through balance and masterful domination of the food pyramid.
