Once upon a time there was a big group of monkeys. They split up in two, two big groups. One of them started to eat meat. The other one still eats bananas.

I've read this book, and haven't eaten meat since :)

Ο Φοέρ δεν έχει γράψει απλά ένα καλό μυθιστόρημα. Στο «Εξαιρετικά Δυνατά και Απίστευτα Κοντά» μας προσφέρει μια ολόκληρη λογοτεχνική εμπειρία.

I believe in following nature, not PETA's latest talking points, though I support PETA's efforts to stop animal cruelty. In nature, animals eat animals all the time, and we humans are indeed not only animals, we are Omnivores -we can eat a variety of things, and always have. Animal meat gives us nutrition & enzymes in a natural, very digestible form, not available in plants. As much as I would love to buy animals raised more humanely for food, they are priced so high as to not be affordable.

What a load of Bollocks.

[Nightbird]

@codownni Everything I stated is a proven scientific fact.

Everything you stated is only a personal opinion.

@Nightbird

So you justify your behaviour by what animals do? Some have sex with their offspring, they all mainly crap outside, live at no fix abode ect Do you do these things aswell? As far as "facts" humanely raised food being not affordable is infact a opinion.

[Nightbird]

@codownni Humans ARE animals, so stop pretending we are better than any other species, when in fact we are probably the worst. You don't see Sharks building nuclear weapons and killing millions of their siblings with it. You don't see Lions shooting each other in the streets. You don't see Alligators killing other species for sport like we do. If you price meat raised humanely and meat raised normally from Walmart, the price difference is very obvious. You ARE an animal, deal with it.

You lost, but please do calm down.

I also saw this in TX, but I think what the author is talking about is the way chickens, ducks, and pigs are raised, which usually is in very cruel, confining spaces. Cattle however need space to roam, and they usually given it. Now if they would only raise them on grass instead of corn, and not pump them full of antibiotics, then we would all be the healthier for it.

So tell me, what percent are raised on pasture land on which they are free to roam? Give me an unbiased source that says so. This man is not the first to make such a comment.
