vegetarians and least harm

The CD argument is valid (veggies involve more CD's) · From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. · >2.

So are you. You can lie and say you're not. So can farmers. But you and Goochild both are, and that is a fact. 2goo is a deliberate and contemptible liar btw, as are all other "ARAs" that I've encountered except for one...and that one is not you. So far I'm not sure that you're a liar, but I am positive that 2goo is. >Vegetarians don't acknowledge 2, Right. They lie about it, as I pointed out before. They lie, because they don't care about the animals, as I pointed out before. Actually I've been pointing it out for years. So has Rick. I've already mentioned that. If you want to justify the lying I'd like to see it, but don't expect such honesty from any vegans/"ARAs". Not ever. >even though Rick and Dutch want to cram it >down our mouths along with those GFC's. I think the anti's owe us a huge >apology.

My impression at this time is that rotational grazing is a very efficient method, and you'll have to do more than just shake your head before I'll believe otherwise. |

So next time I eat at the cafeteria or go to a restaurant I'm forced to ask, "Maam, I'll take the stew with the grass fed cows that participated in rotational grazing". What planet do you guys life on? People are busy taking care of the essentials of life. I'm trying to raise teenagers (pity me) and make a living. You need to make some practical suggestions on how to eat ethically. Please don't say anything that might make some vegetarians regret their choice not to eat factory farmed meat, or you'd be steering them greatly away from their goals. That would be irresponsible. |

While you're at it, why not ask them where all their veggies came from. You also have no idea what kind of farm, and from how far away all that came from, hypocrite. Most restaurants I worked at back in school days bought their meats locally. Their veggies almost never were. Again, if unnecessary death and suffering to animals REALLY means anything to you, why are you eating at restaurants, hypocrite? What planet do you guys life on? > People are busy taking care of the essentials of life. ============================ Obviously not the whacked out planet you seem to be from, killer. I'm trying to raise > teenagers (pity me) and make a living. You need to make some > practical suggestions on how to eat ethically. ================================= I have. You on the other hand have made NONE. You pretend and delude yourself that eating veggies automatically means ethical. Yet by your own admission you have done zero research into your diet. Which of your so-called 'erhical' veggies kill fewer animals? Which kills less? Your problem is that you don't know, and worse, you don't CARE, which continues to prove that this is NOT about saving any animals, it's about your hatred of others. > > Please don't say anything that might make some vegetarians > regret their choice not to eat factory farmed meat, or you'd be > steering them greatly away from their goals. That would be > irresponsible. ========================= No, it is you that is being irresponsible by making claims that being vegan automatically means fewer animals die for your food. It's a ly, it's trresponsible, and it's hypocritical. Plus, it kills far more animals than necessary. But again, your continued inane posts to usenet prove that unnecessary death and suffering to animals means nothing to you, hypocrite. > > |

Can't you figure it out for yourself? > Please don't say anything that might make some vegetarians regret their > choice not to eat factory farmed meat, or you'd be steering them greatly > away from their goals. That would be irresponsible. Vegans consider it immoral to eat ANY meat, not just "factory farmed". Vegans consider it perfectly moral to eat ANY vegetables, even "factory farmed". Can't you see what is wrong with this picture yet? |

You wouldn't support it regardless. >What planet do you guys life on? >People are busy taking care of the essentials of life.

That would be irresponsible. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer deaths than many types of vegetable products. You don't and can't care. You lie about it. That's how it is. Other people are trying to get you to care, and to stop lying. You refuse. Pitty the kids, not you. You are a horrible example for them, and I'm quite sure they have suffered as a result. |
