Found this on Digg.
I am not big on the subject of ethics but the health benefits the writer pointed out seem to be pretty valid and informative. I am debating changing my diet in some ways.

I read that too. :tif:
Eating meat isn’t bad. Eating corn fed feedlot-raised irradiated antibiotic-laced beef is bad.
I’ve pretty much concluded that my great-grandmother knows more about nutrition than any modern nutritionist, if for no other reason than because she chose what to eat based on traditional wisdom and didn’t think she knew everything.

I agree. People have come a long way eating meat. I refuse to cut it out completely but I do think that its more of the additives to food now that causes most of the problems people see health wise.

:word: #1 we just plain eat too much. #2 What we eat is so far removed from nature that it’s no wonder that we’re going to be the first American generation that doesn’t live as long as our parents.

My reasoning…
This
Not this.
just an example
I don’t mind the consumption of chickens in this example… I would just prefer they had a “life” then killed for food instead of shoved in that bullshit then killed
