Food for thought...
Watched an interesting TV documentary recently on Netflix called Cowspiracy. They have good documentaries on there they really do. Recommended...
Really it was something I already knew but it was good to have a refresher
to make me certain I’m on the right path.
Now I know meat eaters won’t like this and we all have choices so, I say
nothing, just state the facts as laid out in Cowspiracy.
So much land is
cleared, a frightening amount of land is cleared just to grow feed for cattle.
The worlds hunger could be solved if it weren’t for cattle if we lived a more
plant based life.
So much grain and water is consumed by cattle anyone with an ounce of brain
can see this is not sustainable in the long term. Also a new UN report states the
quickest way to slow global warming is to cut methane emissions; which of course
farm animals produce!
Land is being cleared at an incredible rate for cattle to graze or to grow
grain to feed to the cattle. So much water and feed is used in the production of
milk alone. Now there are so many choices for “milk” of a different kind. Cows
are nothing more than milk producing machines. Calves taken away from their
mothers for either veal or to produce more milk and we take the milk meant to
feed them, the calves, for ourselves.
I know people wont change their eating habits it’s an impossible wish but
if everyone just gave up meat for a couple of days a week it would make a
difference. Every little thing makes a difference!
I’m not a true vegan by any means but I gave up meat over thirty years ago
now and really have never felt better!
I try to eat a varied diet. I remember what meat tasted like and I enjoyed
it..at the time. I made a decision one day and have never gone back. Some times
people ask why, when I’m not prepared for the question, and I never want to
lecture. Usually I just say for a kinder world. I think that seems to satisfy
some at least. I’m not one to get into an argument!
Cute little chickens hatching look sweet but is far from the truth. Have
you ever wondered what happens to the male chicks. Think about it. They are no
use and you can check on YouTube they are disposed off in the most cruel and
unbelievable way. It’s just horrendous what we as humans do to innocent animals.
I am more than often disgusted truly.
Now I’m lecturing and didn’t start out to at the beginning to do so.
Just
some food for thought...
