I think I will stick with the local rancher (a friend) who only feeds them grass and pecans. (If he makes it through until get grass is going again that is :( ) "Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with things that move us toward progress and peace.” (Ronald Reagan)

Geez. Amazing. You'll become a vegetarian because your meat is grown in a petri dish, but you won't become a vegetarian because a living animal is butchered? Wow.

Touché. you are right. I'm ain't proud of it. I could not butcher an animal myself to eat it, and I just eat it because it is nicely packed in the meat section of a supermarket and the very fact an animal has been killed and cut in pieces is disconnected from this reality. Heck. I could not kill a animal even if my life depended from it. I often toyed with the idea of getting rid of meat from my diet, but I've been raised with meat and I like the smell and the taste of meat (like a good old spoiled North American). I am part of this generation that think that food comes from supermarket (it's a metaphor of course). I never been hungry, I never considered that shortage of food could ever exist, because the supermarket is full of it and I never had to deal with the consequences of killing an animal to eat it. So yes Marc. Touché. Denevers

It's interesting, we live next to several farms. We were saying hi to one of our neighbors, looking at the newborn goats and bunnies and other animals on the farm. The farmer made an interesting comment during the conversation "running a farm involves a lot of killing". And he didn't mean just the animals for meat that people eat, but rodents, sick animals, and so forth. One doesn't think of farming as being something that involves killing. It's amazing how disconnected we are (including myself) from the whole process of raising food.

Very interesting. Then again, people nowadays are not so much in touch with death in their lives as they were back in the dark ages where the ratio of mortality is higher (because of war, disease, etc). I wonder whether people have a different view on death back then compared with now, generally speaking. Edbert Sydney, Australia

Boy if that's the only reason you have there's much better ones out there...
Overheard in clients: Question: "So country music doesn't make you want to get down and boogie?" Response: "No, it makes me want to clean off the bottom of my shoe." I just have to say that's about one of the best statements regarding country music I've ever heard. :cool: Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog[^] now.

Well, at least with a living, breathing animal, I know what I'm getting. I wouldn't be so sure that I would know what I'd be getting with something growing in a pot on my kitchen counter. I can get that now without any more science -- it's called refrigerator fungus. eeeeewwwww ---sig---

I knew somebody would come up with that line, it was just a matter of time. So, unless you eat organically grown beef and turkey and chicken and wild caught fish, you probably have absolutely no idea what you're getting. Hormones, antibiotics, growth stimulants, chemicals, not to mention post processing--fillers, dyes, more chemicals, preservatives, nitrates, nitrites, etc. So, do you really think you know what you're getting?
