i'm just fucking with you. i love animals sincerely, but i don't think it's wrong to consume them. i do wish i could hunt them myself to eat. then it would taking out the weirdness of the packaged meat we get at grocery stores. it's so easy to eat something you never had to look in the face, when it had a face, i mean. it's so weird how far removed we are from the reality of everything we buy. i could never eat my guinea pig though, i am far too attached to him, and the hunt would just be too easy...

if you have no other choice but to kill an animal yourself for food, then more power to you brotha. the fact is that we don't. why hurt animals when you can eat plants?
another good reason for not eating animals is the terrible conditions they live in. boiler chickens only get 72 square inches!
propaghandi included a really good pamphlet on the cd for Todays empires... i couldn't find it online (maybe i didn't look that hard) so go buy the cd, because it also kicks ass.

They also have that track of those two fuckheads kicking the shit out of a pig for about an hour when it got it's leg stuck in a cage or something.

I used to be vegetarian, but then i got really sick and ended up in the hospital (Yes, I know how to eat proporly) I started with vitamin deficiencies before I was vegetarian, and after two years my body gave out. It sucked. So sadly, I am once again carnivorous. I guess what I'm getting at is that some people have to eat meat and dairy to survive. It sucks when people bitch at you at shows for eating meat and make you feel like shit when you have no other choice. Especially when you're there just to have a good time... Cause it's all about the good times... yes yes.

heres an article that might interest you guys... Have some … pus with your cookies? If you down a glass of cow’s milk, you will. It may be white, but researchers say that every cupful contains somatic cells, i.e., pus. The dairy industry knows that there is a problem with pus in milk. Accordingly, it has developed a system known as the “somatic cell count” to measure the amount of pus in milk. The somatic cell count is the standard used to gauge milk quality. The higher the somatic cell count, the more pus in the milk. Any milk with a somatic cell count of higher than 200 million per liter should not enter the human food supply, according to the dairy industry. Therefore, anyone living in a state where the somatic cell count is higher than 200 million shouldn’t be drinking milk. There’s only one problem—every state but Hawaii is producing milk with pus levels so high that it shouldn’t enter the human food supply! At the bottom of this page, you can see how high the pus levels in your state’s milk are. Even the national average, at 322 million, is well above the industry’s limit. One culprit causing the hundreds of millions of pus cells in every liter of milk may be “bovine growth hormone,” the Monsanto chemical company’s growth hormone marketed as Posilac. Posilac is now widely used by dairy farmers to increase the amount of milk that their already overburdened cows produce. Because cows are not built to produce this much milk, they are prone to a painful udder infection called mastitis. When they are milked, pus and bacteria from the infection flow right along with the milk. The journal Nature reported that Posilac increases somatic cells—pus—in the milk by a whopping 19 percent! Researchers estimate that an ordinary glass of milk contains between one and seven drops of pus. This isn’t just disgusting—it can also be dangerous. Pus can contain paratuberculosis bacteria, which are believed to cause Crohn’s disease in human beings. Dairy farmers try to control the rampant mastitis with large doses of antibiotics—but these antibiotics also wind up in the milk. Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of too many antibiotics, which researchers believe can inhibit the development of the immune system. Dairy farmers don’t tell consumers that every glass of milk is contaminated with pus, bacteria, and perhaps with paratuberculosis. The only way to avoid drinking pus is to avoid cow’s milk. www.milksucks.comwww.meatsucks.com.

I've consumed milk products my whole life, and that's not going to stop me. What about all the lovely cheeses? I could never give up those. Or chocolate. Or caramel. Or fudge....mmm i get to go to work in a little while. (i work at a fancy chocolate shop)
Also, there are alternatives to buying weird gross packaged meat. Although, it may be a little unaccessible to some. Every other year, my family buys a quarter of a cow from our neighbour. We watch them graze and it's all organic and they have a biiiig field that they wander around in and munch on the grass. It makes a huge difference in the taste of the beef, and now whenever i eat pre-packaged meat that isn't organic, it tasted soo gross. there;s so much more fat in it! And i'm not one to watch the fat in the foods i consume. but yuck!
