Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Your mom was raised on a regular farm... I have driven by feeder lots... you don't even need to be a closer than 10 miles to smell the stink. I had friends who grew up on farms in Northern California, they can't stand store bought meat.... I wouldn't know, being raised a veggie, they said there's a DEFINITE difference between ranch/free range grown and store bought, which probably means feeder lot raised. xoxoRobyn My mom was raised on a farm and she says it isn't true what they say about the animals being abused or that it is unhealthy for us to eat the meat. She doesn't believe that Mad Cow actually exists. Ok whatever. I've tried to discuss it calmly with them but to no avail. Sorry I guess I got off topic. Why is there always money for war, but none for education? 01.20.09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Oh! I didn't know that little fact about Lancaster. Thanks for informing me. Your dream would be interesting. I wish people would get informed. I have an aunt who doesn't even want to hear about vegetarianism. She says she would rather not know. SHe says she wouldn't be able to enjoy her steaks anymore if she knew more. What a laugh huh?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Liz, I don't think anyone here would get mad at you for your family's beliefs - my heaven I could tell you stories about my family!!! I think people turn a deaf ear because if they don't know they believe they dont have to act on it and many are afraid to change even a little of what they've lived a lifetime doing. It's a sad fact of human nature and ignorance. I, for one, believe that once I know the abuse is going on, how in the world could I ever continue? That would make me part of the problem. I think we need to reach the children with the message, and raise an entire generation of health conscious, compassionate people. Here's a link that I recently found and it is very informative about PA's puppymills, in paticular, Lancaster County. Cheryl --- liz damon <ranliz524 wrote: > Oh!
