ok, first of all, im not a big meat eater, i never was, and as of recently ive cut back on the meat even more, i pretty much avoid eating it, especially the highly processed type..
i did it because its pretty clear that we humans dont NEED meat in order to survive, were even better off not eating it, because it is potentially hazardous to our health, especially with all the stuff they feed animals today and all the anti-biotics, growth hormones etc.

ive also seen Earthlings, ive seen what we humans do to animals, and its a disaster, seeing that film made me wish a meteor would hit and just wipe us off the face of the earth,
if i was standing next to one of those guys that was smashing little pigs heads on concrete floor, and if i had i gun, i would be very tempted to blow his fuc*ing brains out.. animal cruelty really really pisses me off..

Congratulations for having enough money for such an act, Matt!

Unfortunately, most people don't care, because they're not earning enough to opt for healthier, more expensive foods.

Ditto on your animal cruelty point though.

Uh, I eat meat because I'm an omnivore. Yeah, I was quoting.

"Free-range" is a joke term created by the same companies that sell factory farmed livestock to sell products to gullible ideologues.

* <3 GMOs
* Don't care about hormones
* I like things cheap, so I don't eat free range unless someone else is paying for it.
* Animal cruelty is wrong, but animal worship is silly. A lot of people like the OP treat animals better than humans.

If a chicken has a view of the outside world, its considered "free-range." Whether or not the chicken cares enough to explore that outside world doesn't enter the equation, and often the chicken continues to peck and scratch exactly where it is inside.

Probably because they're chickens and they're stupid. A chicken doesn't care whether its free-range or not. Its just a chicken. It doesn't have the capacity to care.

I don't care about pigs.

Some animals exist to be eaten. I'm not particularly concerned about their welfare simply because I don't have enough energy to do so. That is why I donate to organizations that have the time and energy to do so.

Hm. I have a 9 month old and she doesn't like the taste of meat. Both our GP and nutritionist assured me that I have to find some creative ways of feeding it to her as it's important for the development of a baby.

Also, meat = delicious.

I don't care if the first light a chicken sees is the light in my oven. Contrary to what most of these nutbags think, no other chickens will miss or grieve for the frozen one in the shop.

If it's wrong to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?

Anyone else tired of cliche, insipid slogans like "corporations are evil" or is it just me?

If I can continue to contribute to the cliche, insipid slogan canon...

Government doesn't create jobs.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

I thought I was contributing to cliche, insipid slogans. You think a Paultard would call one of his commandments an insipid slogan? Wouldn't they be kicked out of their church? I'm not sure how you missed that.

In the future, I will refrain from sarcasm. I thought maybe advocating following what cavemen did would make the sarcasm more obvious.

But for the record, do you think anything that changes what we do today as a clueless utopian idea?

I'm very skeptical of the claim that Matt is not on medication.

But for the record, do you think anything that changes what we do today as a clueless utopian idea?

Nope, because I believe that organizations like Amnesty International, the Gates Foundation, Classroom Law Project, World Wildlife Fund, the Native American College Fund, Marathon Education Partners, Human Rights in China, and numerous other groups are the ones who are changing the world every day, and somehow their people don't believe in ludicrous utopian bullshit they read on the Internet.

lol, that's such utopian nonsense. You think Gates is going to end malaria! What a joke! And you have to be kidding me about the Native American College Fund. What do they know about education funds. I love people who just sit on the internet and name non profits. You are delusional. Marathon Education Partners was the best. They don't know how to run marathons.
