continued- The reason for that being is that the human race has expanded to more than what the earth can provide naturally or otherwise for any vast amount of time say five hundred years and that is being optimistic to the extreme. Yet here we are quibbling about the symptoms as if they were the disease. Though I fully understand why we do so for to even think about it for a moment shakes one to their very core and the treatment of the disease is one very few people can even think about. The disease is us the human race. Now I know it may seem cold and callous but, it’s the truth and it saddens me deeply that even with all are purported higher intelligence we were not and as far as I can see will not achieve a balance. Now I know I have no way of not sounding like a heartless bastard so I won’t try. but truth and logic a usually disheartening and the only option i can see to solve the worlds woes is one i would not even consider personally and that is humankinds' destruction

The problem that i have with her argument and those that are for the condemnation of meat is that their arguments are utterly biased. they condemn the killing of animals but yet they bring no mention of the fact that thousands of acres of rain forest are cleared for the production of the soy beans that are needed for their meat alternative. In the process of which countless animal and plant species are wiped out. nor do they mention the fact of the declining and disappearing honey bee population that is needed to grow fruits due to ill treatment. those facts in themselves negate many of the arguments against against vast/any meat consumption for what they are which is pure dross. But as with most (for lack of better term) movements they do not bring to light the negative aspects of said movement just the negative aspects of the opposition. the fact of the matter is that both sides are not environmentally or ethically viable.

*ROLLEYES* so tired of idiots like this. Try tolerance for once, rather than assuming the rest of the world must be bullied into living the way YOU think they should! I eat meat, wear fur, etc and I like the way I am and won't change to please you! Too bad if you think it's politically incorrect

In her essay she describes different religions' rituals as to support her support (lawl):: Catholics dont consider the bread and wine a representation of Jesus' body - it is percieved AS His body. that is a) with blessing, it becames Holy body of Jesus (the blessed hosts have its own little house on the alter like vip treatment of crackers because of this..) b)…a) sounds kinda like mystical cannibalism and c) so ya, this ivy league.. admissions should based strictly on IQ …
ppeace

Re: MegMort – I understand what you are saying but it is also not realistic based on the world population. Yes, we need to reduce all forms intake…The 1/2 the grain we use to make beer would help reduce world hunger…We do have to move towards moderation and good health if you reduce the amount of meat demand then there would be need for hormones to keep up with demand…Pick your choice of product and they all have some form chemical ingredient for shelf life…should we all go back to farming? education and moving towards balance is key…When I say balance I am also speaking of spiritual balance too..

I got your back Natalie and your front..:-) Beautiful and intelligent, a very good combination…She didn't equate eating meat to rapists that is people are perceiving it especially the writer…She is referring to people…"being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals" then she uses the example of "(e.g., I don't believe in rape, but if it's what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it)."" You can replace that example with anything else…."How about I don't want to see two Guys kissing, should i stay to be polite or walk of in disgust?..:-)…If she is intellectually superior to the writer then how can the writer truly understand we she means..? My take on the meat eating thing is the same as everything else…Moderation…same goes for sweets and alcohol etc….There is no study that is going to convince anyone that we weren't designed to eat meat pssss…We weren't designed to eat everything in sight…

You dont even know what you are eating. Do you have any idea the amount of hormones and antibiotics that are administered to livestock every year? Do you know the FDA BEGGED the prescription drug companies not to sell to the livestock producers the antibiotic that would be effective against things like an ANTHRAX outbreak?? Guess what, they did it anyway, and we are becoming desensitized to the antibiotics that could SAVE us because factory farming requires DRUGS to keep the livestock healthy due to the horrible conditions. You are all sheep. You eat what is on the shelf and dont consider, HEY maybe the hormones they give these animals so they grow so DAMN big will harm me, and perhaps there is SCIENTIFIC proof that those hormones are causing our girls to hit puberty quicker. . .no, lets just eat that tasty steak!! Hope you enjoy it enough to justify the cruelty and unhealthy production that RIGHT NOW are contaminating your body with levels of antibiotics and hormones you are not MEANT to have in your body. NO ONE THINKS!!!! Its not the steak I am scared of. FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE EATING! ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

DUDE, billions of animals, yearly, are born into nightmarish conditions to live for a small while until they are slaughtered. Why can't all the animal eaters see it's not about the end result of actually eating the dead - it's the immense cruelty that leads up to it. Shame on you, Perez.. plus, your statements are wrong about what she is implying.

I think this bitch is stupid. Not everyone is ok with starving themselves & weighing 100 pounds, fuck that! Hello there wouldn't be no people if we never ate meat. What did she want them to eat leaves???
