Hello de Valois,

My balanced diet includes meat (I have locally grown and slaughter Black Angus in the freezer).

Dogmatic believe of any kind disturbs me. I have seen no well researched and documented evidence that eating dead animals is bad.

On the other hand, in contradiction I have a great deal of trouble with abuse of animals of the 4 legged or 2 legged kind.

I'm with you on that statement.

If on the other hand all the PETA energy would go into a sustainable distributed rearing and slaughtering of farm animals, North America would be a safer healthier place, I think anyway.

For the record; currently 80% of all meat is processed in 4 slaughter houses which means statistically 1 pound of ground beef has around 1000 cows in it. Managing food contamination is almost impossible in the centralized model like this.

I hope you enjoy hanging around CoV. I'm sure the 'High Priests of CoV' will say hello.

Cheers

Fritz

[letheomaniac] I reckon that if I wasn't evolved to consume meat, I would not be in possession of the appropriate teeth. I do however think that perhaps we consume a bit too much meat (myself included), so a couple of vegetarian dinners a week is probably a good idea. I also think that the charring and and consumption of large quantities of meat is, as far as I can establish, the only thing that all the various disparate cultural groups of South Africa have in common, so I approve of it in terms of what they like to call 'national unity' over here. I prefer to think of it as plain old common ground, a good thing to have with ones neighbours, I feel.
