Aldaniti - think this very admirable and brave of you.
I always feel hypocritical because I eat meat but know I would be unable to kill it. So, have cut down a lot and now only eat 'happy meat'. Or do not bother.
I am a nutritionist and know what goes into our food chain - don't ask you just do not want to know!
I am disgusted by the big supermarkets who sell 'discount' chickens and other meat. If for no other reason than a life must be worth more than this, and do we really want to eat such trashy kept and prepared junk?
It is like some plot to devalue all of us by tempting us to be so greedy we must eat rubbish food, daily. This stuff should not go into animal feed either!
The worst of it is that poor people with children find it so hard to afford to eat well.
Latest thing I read about Tesco is that they decided to do business with China, despite their poor people and animal welfare policies and so they are doing like them while in China to attract bsuiness. They are selling live turtles which will be made into soup, while live. Avoid tesco is you can. And that will be very hard as they have a big plot to take over the world, lots of small places now have several Tescos.
We do not need to eat meat that often, and if we do eat it we should think of it as a treat and eat the best reared and prepared.
Here is one for you too - I had cancer and the reason, I believe, is because of high protein consumption. It causes too much estrogen in our bodies which causes cancer. Meat which is badly reared with hormones for growth and antibiotics for infection prevention is high in estrogen. So do not eat it.
Grow your own like Aldaniti!
Just don't gve them names .....
