Who are we, anyway? (WAS: Vores; Eskimo Longevity and Meat Consumption [Brief])

[Guest guest]

Well put, Janet! Hence, my earlier comments about America as planetary

asylum. You omitted that we have transformed cows, which are absolutely

designed as herbivorous creatures (technically another " vore " , but I won't

go there for now), and turned them not only into meat-eaters, but cannibals.

We feed them cow parts, all ground up. And we feed them grain, which they

have almost no capacity to digest, then we feed them massive quantities of

sodium bicarbonate to sooth the resulting and very painful indigestion they

experience.

 

What kind of creatures ARE we? !

 

All this brings to my mind the way in which we are typically taught about

our history. We learn about the great conquerors, the great dominions.

 

Who are we ... who shall we CHOOSE to become, as we go forward?

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Re: Vores (WAS: Eskimo Longevity and Meat Consumption

[brief])

 

 

Given this is a raw food site, we find a lot of " meat is murder " fanatics

here.

 

Look at what our society does to one of the most docile creatures on this

earth. Industrial farms feed cows food not meant for their consumption,

including grain and blood, we pump them full of antibiotics, cram them with

other cows in lots, separate them from their calves, give them growth

hormones that make them produce 40,000 gallons of milk (instead of the

natural duration of the calf's needs), cut off dairy cow's tails so humans

don't get swatted while stealing the milk, spray their skin with pesticides

to make up for the lost tail, then cram the cows into a truck and transport

them to a slaughterhouse where they are funneled into a single line as a man

stands with a gun ready to shoot each cow in the head, one at a time, after

which the cow is raised onto meat hooks and moved through the line of

atrocious acts, sometimes AND often, still conscious.

 

Who is the fanatic here?
