Sneaky meat rice!

[tracilicious]

I don't object to killing animals for food, I object to the way the animals are treated before killing them. I don't care to eat calves that are fed their moms blood instead of milk (because you can sell milk you know), or meat from hormone injected sick cows that can't even stand up. I don't want to eat a chicken that has never been out of a tiny cage, or eggs from a chicken pumped with loads of hormones to make her lay lots and lots of eggs. I won't drink milk filled with cow puss and antibiotics (the bovine growth hormone gives the cows mastitis which creates puss so the give the cows antibiotics).

So I do eat meat, eggs, and milk, but only from grain fed, free range, organic cows and chickens. If it means I pay $6 a gallon for milk then so be it. I don't want my kids hitting puberty at 7 or 8 because of all the hormones.

Incidentally, Japan (and I think a few other nations) won't import American beef at all because of our low standards.

I'd love to have a pet cow and goat. I think someday I will. Goat's milk is supposedly very healthy. They make me sneeze though.
