Industrious Meat

November 29th 2006 20:16
Cows in Switzterland
Happy Cows in Switzerland










Don't these cows have a rough life?
I wish the same scene would take place on all farms.

The cows, pigs and chickens of our meat industry live in sub-standard conditions. Crowded spaces with not much sunlight or air. Diseases spread easily and they get overwhelming amounts of Antibiotics, which gets transferred to the eater. Unspoiled rainforest lands get torn up and used for livestock for large fast food chains. So, this food source of Meat and Dairy is not good for the earth or our bodies.
Luckily, the tide is turning, awareness is building in consumers. People are learning to eat meat-free, and those who do chose to eat Meat and Dairy are demanding cleaner sources, and sustainable farming practices.
For Info on cutting out meat and meat-free recipes:
The Vegan Society
The Vegetarian society of the UK

For those who do eat meat, there is a movement of organic and naturally rasied meats.
For example, A new fast food chain is sweeping America, called Chipotle Mexican Grill, Focusing on all natural meat not treated with hormones and antibiotics. Also emphasising organic vegetables and beans for Vegetarians.

They aim to serve all naturally raised meats in two years, putting pressure on the suppliers to meet the demand.

Change is happening!
