i am not against the slaughter of animals.....well whale hunting isn't cool...or monkeys. They are too smart.

In canada there are small farmers who do ethical killing. The government is trying to stop it and have all animals....processed. In LARGE certified houses.

I became a vegetarian for the planet. There are too many people. Some of us need to eat less meat. So i switched. It takes 19 pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. I also heard on CBC the other day that switching from a meat eater to Veg, has the same carbon impact of trading in your Hummer for a toyota Prius.

I believe that we should eat meat. But there are too many of us. And what the meat industry has turned into isn't ethical anymore. We used to have a relationship with our food. If you look at a cook book from the 50's it will show a cow, with dotted lines dividing up the sections. If you look at a cook book now, it has the meat cut, quartered and packaged. We have lost our connection. And its not health.

JMO (My GF is not a veg, so i cook her chicken from time to time, and i give my cat tuna)

OH! P.S. With the state of the oceans. Better to eat chicken then fish.
