@littlescott007 you can't feed the whole world with meat. You actually waste a huge amount of real food with animal agriculture. 80% of grains in the US alone is fed to livestock, grain we can feed to the poor and hungry. Plant foods are more nutritious, abundant, and keep much better than meat. And dont tell me meat is more nutritious, because it's not. Humans are more herbivorous than we like to think, our bodies need plants so why is so much filtered through wasteful means? we dont need this.

@strawberryfification I agree. They look like they can't even turn around in those pens. That is totally INHUMANE! Yea, for this video they were "nice". Did you see the way they picked up those piglets.  That kids was so camera shy and he made sure he handled then nice. Looks like a setup to me.

@BLiSSFULxFiLLY I would not call you a moron if this was an opinion question, but it's not. How should i respond when you site Folate as being only attainable through meat? Do you realize the best source is leafy greens? B12 cheese has more of it than beef does... and B6 vegetables and grains will easy give you all you need.

Moronic, really? One reason why I hate trying to defend myself is when someone says something like that. Just because I am defending my view point doesn't make my comments moronic. Keep it civil. As far as things you won't get enough of is Folate, B12 and B6. I'm sure a few other things.

@BLiSSFULxFiLLY What an moronic comment... what's in meat that you don't think you can get from a natural non-meat source?

[strawberryfification]

What about the sows? They don't get to leave the sow stalls, do they?

@thestreetsempty they're pigs. we are humans, we eat other animals. deal with it: its called nature. i love bacon, ribs, and loin chops and I will eat them until I die thank you very much.

@SChoolsFaOl

I disagree unless you take a shit ton of supplements with it to make sure your body won't be deprived of what it needs. I'd rather get what my body needs the natural way, by eating meat, than to put god knows what of a supplement down my throat.

[SChoolsFaOl]

@BLiSSFULxFiLLY You can get all the nutrition you need w/o eating meat.
