This means that I try to eat more vegetables than meat (for moral, dietary and environmental reasons) but that I also eat meat if the animal was kept and slaughtered in a humane fashion. The problem is that this is almost impossible to find out. What we all need to do, whatever country you reside in, is pressure law-makers to require better labelling of food, and the illegalisation of cruelty to animals.<br /><br />Rob (www.thebigqs.co.uk)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228913083942950523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454851244270131693.post-24629873278102599872010-04-03T09:01:42.342-07:002010-04-03T09:01:42.342-07:00Hi cooling star. Good site.
You should read stuff...Hi cooling star. Good site.<br /><br />You should read stuff by Peter Singer on this. He addresses the subject very well. <br /><br />There are both health and moral concerns on either side of the argument (environmental too). For example the Dalai Llama tried to give up meat but was forced to start eating it again due to health problems. We don't know why some people are healthier with omnivore diets and other with vegetarian ones but that seems to be the way it is. On the moral side there are a great deal of arguments against eating meat, a few of the extreme ones you've already listed. In fact a vast amount of the pork, chicken, and many other mainstream types of animal that we eat from day to day have been mistreated. Yet on the other hand what would happen if we all went vegetarian? Economies would crash as meat farmers suffered. Black markets would emerge as people refused to change. Whole livestocks would have to be slaughtered or allowed to starve to death because we haven't got the countryside anymore to sustain them.<br /><br />continued...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228913083942950523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454851244270131693.post-26208031730861795132010-03-30T10:08:57.529-07:002010-03-30T10:08:57.529-07:00rtfgvb759,
Thanks for visiting this blog...rtfgvb759,<br /> Thanks for visiting this blog site.<br /><br />One woman,<br /> Yes, sad to know that some animals are killed in such horrible ways.<br /> For health reasons, I had stopped eating meats since January 2010. I have more strength than before and I can sleep well every night.coolingstar9https://www.blogger.com/profile/07542931737023832961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454851244270131693.post-73098774823057674892010-03-30T04:52:37.918-07:002010-03-30T04:52:37.918-07:00I disagree with the way some animals are killed, b...I disagree with the way some animals are killed, but I would never dream of giving up meat.
