Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Did anyone see the March 15th issue of the SF Bay Guardian's " Veg-Out " weekly advertisment page? This " Veg-Out " advertisement page is usually a collection of vegetarian friendly businesses such as Rainbow Groceries, Other Avenues & Anada Fuara Restaurant buying a page in the SF Bay Guardian. And each week they usually have this " Did You Know... " feature where they talk about some aspect of vegetarianism. I was shocked to read this week's " Did You Know... " I will type it out for you all to read: " Did you know... ...that vegetables, fruits, even grains have recently been shown to feel pain, & even " scream " in frequencies inaudible to human ears? Scientists now believe that the pain a potato feels as it is slowly dissolved in stomach acid is 3-400 times greter than a cow feels from a quick blow to the skull, and perhaps as much as 2000 times greater than a chicken killed using halaal Thabiha methodology! " I could not believe that an ad supposedly published to promote vegetarianism would contain such a statement. I wonder what " scientists " now believe that vegetables... feel more pain? What study does this come from? Was this a joke by some one at the SF Bay Guardian on vegetarians? Ira Hankin iratemix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
