PETA to do something productive?

[bfdd]

How is farm raised meat junk? Is it the hormones, the pesticides, the antibiotics the cloning? What about the meat do you object to. Besides such potential negatives, as long as it supplies the nutrition needed for human beings, it isn't otherwise different from an organic bean.

Did I say all farm raised meat or did I specifically say "factory farm raised?" Pretty sure I said factory farm raised meat for the most part isn't as healthy as meat from a free range farm. It's not just that, it's also the cuts of meat that people eat in the USA for the most part. Hell the beef you can get off a taco stand on the streets of Mexico City is probably of higher quality than the beef you can get in a McDonalds cheese burger.

I hate PETA for numerous reasons, them trying to push vegetarianism isn't very high on that totem pole btw.

you fail at basic economics.

No, he's correct. Fewer people eating meat = lower demand = lower prices. If you factor in economies of scale, that might not hold though.

Sure. But you probably eat meat; I think you're just posting in this thread for fun more than anything.

You are so right. Hehehehehehehe! Nothing is funnier to me than to watch folk go off like a Roman Candle at the drop of a word like PITA. It's like watching a mob gang rape defended with intellectualisms eating meat is how we evolved.

And sure I eat meat. I don't have the moral fortitude or the sense to stop. I like it. Day before yesterday I ate a whole London Broil. I wouldn't be surprised if three people in the fourth world died as a result.

For crap sake, I was talking about the same farms as you. Quality is an immaterial issue when it comes to meat. Quality involves choice of cut and ease of chewing etc. The nutrition isn't different. So what about factory farmed meat isn't as healthy as free ranged meat? Please tell me.

Moonbeam, nutrition isn't the same. It's pretty well known that pigs in gestation crates have much higher stress hormones. Things like that can alter the taste of the meat and the quality of the meat.

I'm all for it. No one really gives a crap about a bridge's name.

PG: You are healthier and live longer if you eat a balanced diet that includes all the food groups, including meat. OVEReating meat is unhealthy, just like not eating meat probably causes you not to get certain nutrients.

M: Probably causes you not to get certain nutrients??????? hehehehe Like which?

PG: Of course people feel threatened and judged, PETA and their ilk want to take your right to determine your own diet away from you, to force you into their idiotic veganism or whatever other form of mental deficiency they subscribe to.

M: OOOOh I am really scared they will succeed.

PG: Wrong again. It does make a difference how it is supplied because different delivery mechanisms have pros and cons, and the body is designed to use / process certain things more efficiently than others. Thinking that all sources are the same just because the end result is stupid.

M: Omnivore omnivore omnivore omnivore. It's what it means to be an omnivore, that any source will do.

PG: Adequate is not necessarily optimal.... and that's not even factoring in personal taste preferences.

M: Nobody said anything about preferences and adequate is as optimal as you need.

PG: Typical liberal idiots, PETA: "we don't want to eat meat, so you should be forced to agree with our idiocy!"

M: Typical anti-PETA-freak, mention the word and your brain flies out the window.

Moonbeam, are you a PETA supporter? Are you signed up to their cause? How do you feel about breeds of dogs such as Rottweilers?

he likes them sauteed with a little fennel and rubbed sage...

and he doesn't care if they are farm raised or not...

yeesh... having read mb posts you still ask specific issue questions? get with the big picture...

 

[bfdd]

cubeless, if he wants to have a discussion then he can answer the question. if not then he can stay out of a discussion forum.

Michigan would be much worse off if my family stopped eating meat. The deer roam the streets like crazy and cause numerous accidents every year. Plus, when they multiply, more of them starve over the winter and die anyway. It's a win-win all around with no reason to NOT kill and eat them.

PETA wants to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robot :biggrin:
