Hi all,

 

Anyone else read the magazine called Natural Health? I just got my copy today

in the mail. I am disgusted by an article in there and sent a letter to the

editor. I was hoping some of you could look at it in your health food store and

write to the editor as well. With this being a " natural " health magazine it has

me furious that they put this article in there. There is nothing natural about

mass producing and eating cows and it is horrible for the environment.

 

The article is called " The Eco-Conscious Carnivore " and it's on page 37 of

their December/January 2006 issue. The subtitle is " A meat-lover's guide to

making choices that maximize personal and planetary health. "

 

In a nutshell, this author writes about choosing the " kindest " cuts of beef

(already a contradiction). In the beginning she writes " Although the benefits of

a mostly vegetarian diet are well established, beef remains the single best

source of vitamin b12, a nutrient that's necessary.... "

 

Then they have a sidebar to the article. It's titled " THE KINDEST CUTS " and

they describe cuts of meat (organic, grass-fed, etc.). The one that really gets

me is the one called " Certified Humane " and they say that this meat " ensures

humane treatment of animals. "

 

Huh? The definition of humane, according to Webster's Dictionary is " marked by

compassion, sympathy or consideration for humans or animals. " So how can the

killing of these cows ever be considered humane?

 

Anyway, if you look at the article and are disgusted as well, or just want to

go off of what I have told you, please write the editor via e-mail at

remedies.

 

Thanks for reading if you have gotten this far! :-)

I'm going to jump on and write too. I do hope they will publish at

least one of our articles so that other readers can benefit from our

stance. I'll be revisiting PETA's statement official statement on

free range, grass fed, humane certified etc.

Herbivore magazine is another option. It's probably not to everyone's

taste, though--kinda irreverent, punk rock attitude. I don't get much

out of it now, but I probably would have loved it if it had been

around when I was in my early 20s.

seems to be all recipes), there is Satya Magazine and I believe the

host of this group (VRG) has one as well, don't they?
