Well in reply I just wanted to say that Rifkin may be wrong but such a
flippant attitude about deforestation and animal cruelty is not very
eco-femm-y I guess and if you don't like Rifkin, which I have not read,
may I suggest Carol Adams, _The Sexual Politics of Meat_ or
_Ecofeminism: Women, Animals and Nature_ there are millionsof books on
how bad meat and cattle are for the environment...but if you like your
taste for meat that is fine...like it was said before vegetarianism is
a choice made against instinct for the betterment of the environment
and ourselves....again no disrespect is meant in any way..I am just
trying to explain that it is a deeper issue than "having a good time."
hope you have a wonderful summer

I don't think it is EVIL or anything similar to eat meat (or not).
It is not currently very *healthy* - but one can commit suicide if one
wants to.
HOWEVER, think about it. Animals eat OTHER animals. If you study
animal behavior, or even READ about it, one species prey on another,
and so on, and so on. This is the cycle of life. Survival ofthe
fittest, etc., etc. That said, I think as HUMANS (or a facsimile
thereof) we need to be able to THINK, LOOK and ANALYZE before we
leap, as it were. Anything not in moderation leads to --- well, we
all know the answer to that one. Each person has their own physical
needs as far as nutrients are concerned. I think it's more important
to look at what YOU need for your body and incorporate that in your
diet. Of course, ice cream should be on everybody's list this time
of year............ (OK, so the heat is getting to my brain---!)
