America’s Red Meat Horror Show: Why We Must Get Rid of Factory Farms http://b4in.org/sJF9

‘For the first time since the advent of industrial agriculture, the federal government is considering advising Americans to eat “less red and processed meat.”

That advice is the outcome of studies conducted by an independent panel of “experts” which was asked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for recommended changes to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.

The February 19 “eat less red and processed meat” pronouncement by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) was reported widely in mainstream media. It set off a heated debate about whether or not consumers should eat meat, a debate that included the standard name-calling by factory farm front groups, including the Farm Bureau, denouncing consumers and environmentalists (and their alleged pawns on the DGAC) for being “anti-meat” and “anti-farmer.”’

+Eve Volve: "Meat allowed us to evolve"

Really? I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve?

As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so.

For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were vegan anyway (ref. goo.gl/3QZWDg). =o)


+Eve Volve: "Those animals were bred to be eaten"

I'm not sure what the reasoning here is. This would be like saying that if I raise a dog specifically to use it in dog fighting, that it's OK to torture and kill that dog in dog-fights since that's what I raised it for. Of course, no reasonable person would support such an excuse, and it can't reasonably be used to explain away our doing so to other animals.


+Eve Volve: "A lot of farmers make most of their money from selling animal products."

So... You're saying that if something makes money, it's therefor a moral action? That's just silly. Besides, they could engage in farming activities which don't hurt or kill sentient beings and make money as well.


+Eve Volve: "People not eating meat is not gonna stop people from producing meat... cause people like me still eat it."

Meh - I grew up on a farm where I was personally raising, killing, and butchering cows, pigs, chickens, goats, et al. You are people like me, +Eve Volve, and I'm sure that you and I have very similar values where it comes to not causing needless pain and suffering in the world. I have faith in your innate humanity, so unless you're a diagnosed sociopath, I trust that you will react the same as I have once you realize how horrific the act of needlessly killing (not to mention torturing) sentient beings is -- which is exactly what one is forcing on the world by deciding to eat animals.

US meat supply massively contaminated with superbugs.

Consumer Reports says 90% of US supermarket ground turkey is contaminated with superbugs -- antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Earlier this month, a government monitoring group found more than half of samples of ground turkey, pork chops and ground beef bought in US supermarkets contained antibiotic-resistant superbugs. 

The contamination of the food supply with superbugs is caused by the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock to make them bigger and also enable them to survive in cramped, unhealthy conditions without dying of the diseases that spread in such an environment. 

Bottom line: Antibiotics makes meat cheaper. But is it worth the lower price?
