....That my friends, is why i'm a vegetarian...
That is a video from ABC News about the recent meat recall. Man, 143 MILLION pounds. Now while the rest of America is frantic worrying about what effects they are going to have from eating this beef the vegetarians are smiling.
I really do not see why news like this is making such headlines now! PETA has had videos of cruel and inhumane treatment of animals on their website for years. The news crews act like this is the only time this has ever happened! How do we not know it doesn't happen everyday? Like the video mentions, the manager rarely checks on their workers. What kind of people do you think slaughter animals for a living??? ....Oh, very compassionate, caring people I'm sure.
...Why are people so blind to what happens "behind closed doors?" People take the pretty, packaged meats for granted and do not even dare to think. What did that animal go through so you can have a few minutes of pleasure?!? It's so much easier to put into context after something like this happens. I just do not want to be eating meat when I do not know the state of health the animal was in before slaughter...end of discussion! Plus, it's healthier for you...isn't that enough reason?!?
I'm also pleased to announe that since becoming a vegetarian (October 07) I eat alot more cheese. I've always loved cheese, but now it seems like I eat it with everything!!! Soups, salads, sandwiches...I even sprinkle feta on my veggies. YUM :)
