=====================
Which two are those, exactly? Have you counted the animals that die for
your diet and lifestyle now?

======================
It's not just rice. All crop production causes animal death and suffering.
There can be 1000s of animals per acre living in fields that are plowed,
sprayed, and harvested. Why is it ok to slice, dice, shred, dis-member and
poison these animals for no more reason than our cheap, conveninet veggies,
and then leave them to rot?

Have you considered the impact that the various foods you eat now cause to
animals and the environment?

To give you an idea of the sheer number of animals in a field,
here's some sites about *just* mice and voles. Note that there
can be 100s to 1000s in each acre, not the whole field.
