Just to correct some misconception.....

Livestock Uses of Corn

Collectively, beef, poultry, pork and dairy producers represent corn
growers' No. 1 customer - consuming 5.6 billion bushels of corn
annually. Corn used directly as feed for domestic livestock represents
57 percent of all of the corn grown in the United States.

In 2003, beef cattle were fed more than 1.4 billion bushels of corn.
Hogs consumed 1.1 billion bushels.
Poultry another 1.3 billion bushels.
As a primary livestock feed source, corn is a key link in the meat
production chain. More than half of the U.S. corn crop puts meat on
America's dinner table. A bushel of corn fed to livestock produces 5.6
pounds of retail beef, 13 pounds of retail pork, 19.6 pounds of chicken
or 28 pounds of catfish.

Furthermore, most corn sold to other countries also is used to feed
livestock. In fact, 80 percent of corn raised in the United States is
fed to animals around the world

=====================
So what? There is still no need to feed any corn to cows. The fact
remains that as a vegan yiou do *nothing* to change the way beef is
produced. However, if you were truely concerned with meat production
you would be part of the many that try to provide farmers with an
alternative way to produce beef. Grass-fed, no hormones, no
antibiotics, natually grazed. You won't, because instead, you follow
your simple rule for your simple mind, 'eat no meat.' Being vegan
does not automatically mean fewer animals die for your diet/lifestyle.
killer.



Try this. It takes 7 times as much food to grow corn as to eat it.

=====================
You'd better get off the illegal drugs, fool. Try to make sense next
time. It takes *no* food out of your mouth to raise beef cows. In fact
in takes *no* food that you could even eat! Are you really too stupid
to understand that cattle can graze in areas where you cannot grow your
crop foods? Cows can take that land, and the the natural growth and
produce healthy, edible foods with *no* inputs from the petro-chemical
industry that you appear to dearly love. Why is that? You a major
stock-holder or something? You can't be spewing this ignorance because
of any so-called caring for animals, as you prove with each inane post
that animals really mean nothing to you. Guess you just like all that
blood on your hands for your entertainment, eh killer?


Very simply, if people simply ate the food that was produced and fed to
cows, there would be much more food and less resources required.
=======================
Again fool. Try to read for some comprehension. There are *NO* crops
produced for the beef I eat. You delsuional ignorance to the contrary,
there is *NO* requirment to feed cows *any* crop food.


Of
course we are part of the cycle of life. Rick just happens to be an
incredibly nasty part of it, which I will ignore from now on.
===============
Of course you will because you have seen how ignorant and stupid your
position is and cannot defend it, or refute what I say. Typical vegan
religious intolerence.


Most crops grown and exported in the US are used for the manufacture of
meat production. It's an inefficient use of land and resources.
================
Which *you* are doing nothing to change. In fact, you support it with the
crop food you buy fool. The 'wastes' from the parts of plants you don't eat
are used in the production of the meat you claim to want to halt production
of.


Rick also ignores the health consequences of consumption of beef on
diseases of the arteries and cancer. That's his choice.
=================
There are vegan diets that can be just as bad, killer. Meat does not make a
diet bad, and studies have shown that some meat-included diets beat vegan
ones.



It's also his choice to enter a forum of where veg*ns discuss their life
style, and chooses to be an SOB. That serves some kind of need for him.
Sad.
===============
Yes, you terminal, willful ignorance is sad indeed. What's even more sad is
all the unnecessary death and suffering of animals you cause because you
follow only a simple rule for your simple mind, 'eat no meat.'


I choose to eat healthy, be a better citizen of the world, work out, and
not make slanderous accusations.
====================
LOL You are doing nothing of the sort, kller. hat's the point. You
haven't even compared which veggies you eat agaisn't other vegggies to see
which of them cause more/less animal death and suffering. Like all usenet
vegans, you automatically believe that vegan means cruelty-free. It part of
the 'faith' of the vegan religion. Something you cannot prove.



Ignoring him, corn is the most heavily subsidized food in America, which
is why it is in almost everything. For example, corn syrup and corn starch
are in many products. This greatly contributes to the obesity and health
problems American's face. Originally corn producers were paid not to
grow corn to keep the price up. Now they get huge subsidizes
and grow corn, most of it now genetically altered.
=====================
Yes, and you *could* be part of the solution. Instead, you follow a simple
rule for your simple mind. Sad, truly sad.




It's a sad fact.
=============
Yes, veganism is sad... that's why it's converts are so full of hate...
