To be clear, it is not my intent to be offensive or to impose my perspective on the subject at hand. Rather, I seek to inform so that others can make decisions based on facts rather than on assumptions and the paid for lies of the people who benefit financially from the current status quo of animal agriculture.
I believe that most folks, meat eaters or not, would no approve if they were fully aware of the horrors perpetuated on animals that are in the factory farming system, which includes BILLIONS of animals annually.
Everyone is different and everyone is entitled to their own choices on the matter, but the industry that makes money off of YOUR choices does NOT want you to have all the facts and that is wrong regardless of your choice to eat or not eat meat/animal products.
I have been learning about this stuff in great detail for over a year and I still learn something new on a regular basis that I would have previously thought never could have happened in our "civil" society.
The reason that I seek to educate on these matters is that we have many more choices than most realize and compared to what is handed to us as status quo, those choices are ALL better for us, the animals and the environment. Example:
1) Go vegan. I know, this is not for a lot of folks. But, like any diet, done properly, you don't NEED animal products to live healthy and be well. Benefits: Better health, greatly reduced environmental impact, no cruelty to animals, not lining the pockets of industries that lie to you while feeding you stuff that is not healthy long term.
2) Go vegetarian. Same as #, but you eat dairy and/or egg products.
3) Eat LESS meat. Any reduction in meat consumption is better for health, animals and the environment.
4) Eat meat, but source it from REAL farms, not the grocery stores/factor farms. The meat will be better for you (but still not ideal for optimal health and avoidance of chronic diseases/health issues) and you'll be doing better by the animals and the environment.
5) Hunting, believe it or not. Not my thing, for sure, but hunting, if done with clean kill shots (gun, not bow's...bowhunting often leaves an animal maimed and/or suffering needlessly) is FAR more humane than any factory farm situation.
Once again, please take no insult or offence when I post up information or stories that present the reality of our food systems. My intent is to educate. If you do not wish to be educated, please feel free to not participate (don't open the thread, don't click on the link, etc.), but I would appreciate if everyone could remain respectful and constructive in any posts/discussions.
