Yeah - isn't the goal to also avoid plying the animals with growth hormones and antibiotics. Hormones being bad because then end up in the meat itself and are linked to cancer in humans that consume the tainted meat and also what isn't used by the animal is peed and pooped out where it gets into other food (vegetables via manure) and drinking water consumed by other animals and vegetarians. We won't be happy as a society until our good friends of the bacteria phylum are resistant to all our life saving antibiotics but maybe I am being short-sighted - maybe this is just how evolution chooses to manifest itself in our modern and sophisticated world. Real men can handle bacteria without propping up their defenses with antibiotics! All the sissies will wither away and die when the super-bugs hit and only the strong will be left standing. -- Sam Nicolary ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
