I absolutely agree with you on that. Here in sunny Lithia Springs, GA, we're working hard on our organic farming methods. And here's a little something to surprise those of you who think all PETA members are the same -- I keep honey bees, and drink cow's milk too. But I digress...
Now of course you do realize that when talking about human health hazards due to pesticide consumption that animal flesh actually concentrates those pesticides, making meat by far the largest source of those harmful chemicals in today's grocery supply chain. Which only makes sense, seeing as how it takes on average twelve pounds of grain protein to produce one pound of cow flesh protein. Obviously, there is better quality organic animal flesh avaiable at high prices, but that's not what most people eat. -- indi On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 02:03:48PM -0700, Gayla Roberts wrote: > I agree that the meat industry can be horribly cruel at times.
