One thing I cannot understand is why people want to go the "vegetarian route" except for health reasons.
Half health. Half ethics.
Animals are sentient creatures and can suffer in a meaningful way therefore have rights. Factory farming is a nasty business. Ever wonder where e coli comes from?
Used to grow the stuff and you are full of it sweetpea (the Escherishia coli bacterium I mean) ever seen what comes out of your arse??? Plants are far more deadly than Factory Farming if we are going down the bacterium route... far more deadly ...had many out breaks here in Oz from contaminated vegetables.
And I don't pay host to the 'sentient creature' argument...I AM rather passionate about Plants and Trees and cannot for the life of me understand why it is OK to murder plants because they can't look back at you but woo betide if one has meat for a meal *gasp horror
hock:I CAN understand that some people have a medical need to be vegetarian just as I have a medical need to be omnivorous. I think the "holier than thou" attitude of some vegetarians is what puts me on the attack.
