Meat really is murder

Watch this. I really am going to have to stop
eating meat. There is no justification.

I thought the animal stayed alive during the whole ordeal of
becoming meat and being eaten? I am shocked

My mother used to force conversation over dinner about how
the animals we were eating were killed and prepared. She
felt it was healthy and natural, and thought it was wrong
that people who choose to eat meat refused to hear about
where it came from. When she divorced my father, the first
lifestyle she decided to take up was farming, so she started
to grow and process her own food (meats and vegitable). I
think one of the drawbacks we have in this society is
decentralization. Everything that people know about their
culture is hearsay, so when we finally get a dose of
reality, its shocking. I think its important for people to
make a point of learning about as much of their lifestyle as
possible. Even if they don't understand it, it shows that an
effort towards enlightenment is made, and when we finally do
get tastes of reality, it is less jarring. As well, it can't
hurt to eat food from more humain sources than mass produced
meat providers.

after watching the video:

I will not stop eating and enjoying the nice meet of those
poor animals

but I do think that some thing should be changed in order to
not have the animas in such bad conditions
but yes, at the end we have to kill them to eat them... it
works dfine that way... maybe someday some other species
will kill us to eat... and it will be tough of course

the problem here as always is the money... and that way of
storing the animals is cruel, but it is the chepaest way.
if the money saved went to help th poor people in third
world I wouldnt mind about the animals... but as that money
just makes some people rich... I say lets change the laws so
that those people dont make ucha business... and if I have
to pay more for the meat, its fine with me...

we take the blood to make blood cakes too

Hahaha :)

I know, I know. But it IS shocking when you see it in video
form. It's a while since I've seen anything like this.

I'm going to stop eating meat. It's disgusting, it tastes
boring to me, it's unhealthy, it's appallingly bad for the
environment, etc. Plus it's enormously inhumane.

I understand what you're saying, Nacmat, but the fact is
that that IS where our meat comes from. So, you can either
choose to continue eating factory-farmed, chemical-ridden
meat, or you can seek out a small, independent organic farm
where you can SEE that the meat is being reared "naturally"
and eat that. Or you can stop eating meat altogether.

Anyway, it's up to other people. People shouldn't force
their views on others, vegetarian or not.

nature created man as a meat-eater. predator. thats why we
have nails and teeths,especially the upper third ones -
incisors.
from ages people were killing animals to eat them, which is
nothing unnatural as animals were killing themselfs to eat
themselfs aswell :) so,saying that eating meat is unnatural
is more unnatural than eating meat.a paradox.
really,vegetarians shouldconsider ( as they are in case of
animals ) that vegetables,in fact, aswell have some
receptorsand are living things.veggies.same goes for
eggs/fishes/blah blah.

i will never understand ppl saying that meat is
killer.everything is killer. even air nowadays. meat
contains many minerals and vitamins,m and iron,which CANNOT
be replacedby veggies.simple as that, thus if you will eat
only veggies, yes, you will feel maybe a little better (
less fat, etc ),but for a short period.in longer terms - it
will do you no good.and its proven.

well, thats my opinion.suit for yourself.

Show us your proof, then. As far as i was aware the
vitmin/mineral thing has been contested a fair bit.

I think the point was more concerned with factory farming's
inhumanity than "MEAT! Bad or no?" anyway.

as a whole I think it is far more important to stop
completely useless killing of animals than the one
done for food. we no longer need furs; there are other
fabrics that one doesn't have to kill for that protect just
as well or better against cold. killing something because
some part of it is considered an aphrodisiac.. we have
viagra, which apparently works. trophies.. well, this one is
just the most unbearable of senseless killings.

food, on the other hand, is quite necessary, and we need
diversity, plus there aren't really enough greens to feed
everyone.. there isn't enough food of any kind to feed
everyone on the planet at the moment, so... of course, the
animals should be treated "humanely," but.. priorities.

eat meat, fine. i eat meat, yeh. but the way it is produced,
the way it is farmed, created, and put on your plate,
having to do with chemicals, hormones, inert plastic,
food-miles and all kinds of purely unnatural , but
extremely cheap and therefore profitable ways of
animal-rearing.. should go, because it is un-sustainable.
this, much like the combustion engine and food-miles and
the whole marketsystem is not built to last, it might be
self-perpetuating, but it is not self-sustainable.

organic meat, vs. factory produced meat -
and meat SHOULD be a luxury thing anyway, instead of a
staplefood like it is right now. however, no amount of
man-made legislation-changing is going to change the
interest towards profit.
on a purely chaos-theory-level, all this suffering is
pinging around in our collective network of minds, whether
you accept it or not, and wreckin our mental health
(and of course, the toxins in the actual food, our physical
also) - immensely, but try and get anyone to accept that.
there's a humane way to produce edible meat, and there's a
completely inhumane way to produce edible meat. guess which
is cheaper?
the mechanical/automated/robotic method that we have right
now is not going to last for long, either the lot of us go
completely mental, or we run out of resources that are
needlessly squandered. or both. at the same time. then
what? it'll be empty shelves in the stores, resulting in a
grinding halt. then what? cannibalism? watch the
"civility" switch to "barbarism" in a few weeks .. and
then we'll all hvae something better to think about than
slagging off the next "idm-album".
like survival.
it would be a good choice to stop supporting the current
mechanized in-humane method of producing meat onto your
platter, laden with MSG and hormones and preservatives..
and either luxurize it (organic ONLY (and yes, how do you
know?)), or skip it entirely. its a free-will dictated
choice.
u.k. meat really wrecks my h

if i would ask for autechre you would send me to google.now
im sending you to it- 15 seconds,type "meat advantage" for
example, and thats it.and its not sarcasm, its just the
fact. thats one thing.

the other- i agree that farms should be kept, hm,how you
should say... in good conditions?alright,some animals are
killed in bad way. but what you should change is the
conditions of these ceratures - i seriously cant imagine how
bad treating of farm animals could bring you to
not-eating-meat solution. thats wicked,and,partially,
stupid.what meat-eating has to do with way that animals are
killed ? change the farms, not your habits.

really,ifthe one thinks that if he will stopeating meat will
help those animals - thats just silly. thats what 5-year old
child could think. really,a child. no offence:)

ead, why, i dont know.
i just become irate.
the difference between an irish broiled chicken and same in
finland is EXTREME. there is no taste in the irish, its
like its a non-chicken. it's like cardboard. and the taste
is all wrong.

if you really want somethin to think about, get felicity
lawrence's book "not on the label" which goes in-depth on
everything from fruit, vegetables, monoculture, food-miles,
the chicken, the beef, fertilizers, microwave dinner, and
all the people doing the lowest wage work with maximum
danger to physical health.. so that someone.. someone at
the top.. can make a buck. they have no choice.. but the
immensely rich people.. they HAVE a choice. and THEIR
choice? selfish greed.

there's general insanity.. then there's selfish
pathological insanity.. and good grief is it ever

the problem with ending meat-eating as a solution is that
who's gonna tell the stores that they should stock "one
less" than before? what i'd really want to know (maybe
not.. .. maybe not...) is how much of this
plastic-packaged meat that ISNT sold, is going to
spoil.. and for what? the chance that there MIGHT be
enough interest _that day_ from the consumers to buy
the product.. how much food is really going to spoil in
those nice plastic boxes and wrapping..

meat should only be eaten for survival (as it was when we
first came to be).

It's no longer needed or necessary, we have substantial
substitutes for it now.

Any arguement against what I have just said has been
disproven and it's a load of conditioned dribble.

ALTHOUGH, I was vegan for 2 years and got very sick
apparently. My body was used to meat and dairy intake. The
radical change in my diet didn't work so well with my body
chemistry.

ALTHOUGH, we can still change our bodies chemistry. I just
wasn't doing it right. I started off cold turkey and
probobly did not get the proper nutrients I needed during
the course of my decision. But if I took it upon myself to
start up again, I would now know the right plan (as I've
read it on many sites).

Also, that video was disgusting. I was petting my cat 5
minutes ago and her consciousness is probobly no different
than a cattles, pigs, or chickens. Imagining her being tied
up by the legs and having her throat slit as her body
convulses made me sick.

no no, you just cant use substitutes for naturalvitamins and
minerals,like iron, which is ONLY in mea tproducts. thats
just like changing the society into one big pill - whats the
point of eating anyway when wecan use onepill nr45b to
provide fakefeelingof fully-belly ?

jesus that sounds like THX1138 for real.

ps.ive heard a history of 2 vegans ( wife and hus.) that
killed little baby with this diet. the little childo ( 3-4
years, i cant remember ) just easily died because lacks of
serious minerals and sort-of.

ive never heard of any of thiscases in accordance to
"normal" meat/veggie solutions.

and, for instance - millions years agoways of killing were
much worse,really.cutting throats wasnt a solution,humanoids
killed animals with sticks,stones and stuff.i havent heard
any of you saying THAT was BAD.

so what do you propose ? electroshocks ? overdose of
madonnas albums?

jesus.

I'm not sure if I've tasted bloodsausages (though it is very
likely that I have), but I know that blood-pudding tastes
kind of like cake and that whale tastes a bit like
blood-pudding with the occasional taste of codliver oil
(that was the translation the dictionary gave, but.. it
doesn't seem right for some reason.. I don't think it is
only extracted from cod.. anyway, we call it "tran").

I also think that the fact that meat tastes good to a person
on first taste is proof that the person should eat it (note:
I'm not talking about the general "person" as in
"everyone," but more about "person" as in "those persons who
like meat on first taste." If you don't like it, don't eat
it, but that's your body that is reacting badly).

Don't just tell me to google it, dudeman. Back up your
claims. And besides, "meat advantages" isn't exactly going
to bring up unbiased information.

I never said going veggie would change the situation in
slaughterhouses, or even affect food production in general.
It's a completely separate (and entirely personal) question
whether you want to support a cruel, wasteful, generally
unpleasant industry by stuffing its end product down yer
gob.

To be honest, most people i've met either don't want to
think about it or don't give a shit anyway.

Yes, everybody should eat meat and shut up and agree with
you. Because there are humanitarian problems in the world.
Right. How does one have anything to do with the other?

...apart from the fact that rearing animals for food is much
more land-intensive, land for burgers that could be growing
enough cheap soya to feed those who actually need it most.
But that's another issue entirely, innit.

i was a vegetarian for 3 years. i stopped because i was sick
quite often. my sister was vegan and is now just vegetarian,
i think for more severe health problems. just like gwely
mernans, i didn't really do what i should have as far as
eating right, so i'm not discouraging anyone from becoming
vegan/vegetarian

ideally, i don't think it's necessary to eat meat. there
would be some rather large set backs to the economy and
possible long term problems if everyone stopped eating meat
all together.

so, uhm, i don't really care what people do. i'm about to go
out and get a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel
right now.
