Really? Obviously you didn't read this:
Why do meat eaters stink like rotten carcasses out of their mouths?
Why have they chosen a diet that causes them to eat mints, and chew
gum and use chemical mouth-wash to mask the vile, putrid stench that
emanates from every orifice in their bodies?
And you obviously also didn't see this:
Dear Editor
Last week's headlines have brought alarming news about the sorry state
of our public and planetary health.
The USDA has forced the recall of 25 million pounds of hamburger meat
that may be contaminated with deadly E. coli bacteria and the closure
of the offending plant.
Excessive use of antibiotics in raising farm animals and in medical
practice has forged a Staphylococcus bacterium that is immune to all
these drugs.
Effluents from farm animal waste have nurtured toxic algae that have
killed billions of fish and devastated fisheries throughout the
eastern seaboard, from Delaware to Louisiana.
Cornell University Professor David Pimentel told a national animal
science meeting that our soil, water, and energy resources can not
sustain current levels of animal agriculture.
The Worldwatch Institute has warned that world grain production is
falling behind meat consumption, leading to higher grain and meat
prices and widespread famines in developing countries.
Surely, the time has come for consumers to see the handwriting on the
wall and to adopt a plant-based diet advocated by leading health and
environmental authorities for the past 25 years.
Sincerely,
