eating meat

[Guest guest]

grass is the natural diet for a cow, and a grass fed cow does not need

to be fed antibiotics, as opposed to a

corn fed cow.

Shamanist1,

 

It is a pure money maker for the pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Both of these statements probably carry a good piece of the truth...and

both are rooted in the absurd population densities at the feed-lots

where most beef is raised. Add to this that, as these poor animals are

not allowed to roam, they wallow in their own filth. Thus the need to

inoculate and irradiate and who knows what else.

 

If it IS all about making money, we might support the efforts of organic

ranchers by recommending and purchasing meat from those who raise

livestock as they evolved.

Z'ev,

 

I should correct a typo. In the early 1990s I taught (not was taught) the upper

division course in nutrition at City College of San Francisco. My formal

training in clinical nutrition was in graduate training at the Univ. of Texas

Health Science Center at San Antonio in the mid-1980s.

 

T. Colin Campbell (in the early 1990s) did not have views that differed much

from my own professors in nutrition. From the 1960s onward, it was generally

viewed that people who ate from their gardens had the healthiest diets. In

America, that meant poor share-croppers who had no choice but to eat from their

gardens.

 

Michael Pollan, in his most recent book, demystifies our American preoccupation

with protein as a some sort of iconic or magical dietary requirement. It is

ironically what stands in the way of our recently gained strides in longevity.

So I've silently rolled my eyes over the years when I've heard people ask,

" Where are you getting your protein? " My occasional response was, " How are you

managing to avoid it? "

 

Respectfully,

Emmanuel Segmen

Corn feed is a money-maker all right.

 

Now take into consideration that corn is also the primary source of ethanol in

this country, and the money picture comes even sharper into view. It is

unfortunate that the greed of the few out weighs that which is best for all. If

the technology for making ethanol from the native switchgrass of the prairy were

pursued rather than suppressed.....
