One more reason to go organic

Oh, Bobbi, that is disgusting! I just told my daughter and she said, "GROSS! It is a good thing that we only drink organic stuff, huh?" she is only 8, I am so happy I got to brainwash her at such a young age! :+

I'm have yet another reason to tell the husband it's worth it to spend $7.00 bucks for a gallon of milk at the grocery store I use most often. My kids only use milk for cereal anyway and they hate soymilk, hate it I tell you! :)

Thank heaven, they don't use the meat. We eat beef infrequently but when we do, it's free range, homone and anti-biotic free. And we must never stop trying to get the FDA to treat creatures as living things and not commmodities with no value except as something to be sold for profit. Humane slaughter and happy moo cow lives is still possible in the world of today.

>meat... ;)


I am right with you there Emily!!!....:)...Carole
 
SEVEN DOLLARS A GALLON???? We only pay five, like that is any cheaper, but still........phew! It is SO worth it in the long run to pay more for organic now than to have to pay for medical bills and be unhealthy later.

Emily, you will love this!!! DS #2 hates milk and will only drink soy!! His favorite is Chocolate Silk. He smiles when he drinks it!

Oh, that's just great. Do you know what a pain it is to find organic stuff where I live? Maybe I should just buy my own cow... plant my own garden... grow my own wheat... I'm not just kidding around. I truly wish I could just stay out here in the boonies and create my own living instead of being a slave to the paycheck. D----d government.
 
Actually, it seems more like a reason to go vegan.;-)

I don't see why the meat/milk from cloned animals would be any more gross than meat/milk in general.

But, isn't it nice to have the FDA looking out for us? (NOT!...They are definitely NOT working for the benefit of the consumer. Just wait, if milk/meat from cloned animals ends up causing major problems in the future, at least the meat/dairy industry would have made lots of profits on it before it's banned).
 
That stinks but I imagine the vast majority of the milk supply will continue to come from regular old cows and the cloned milk will be a tiny percentage. I do like th idea of having ones own cow. Cows are adorable.

I haven’t had a glass of cow puss in years. My DS5 won't touch it either. My mother of course is appalled I don't make him drink it. Animals in general disgust me to no end.

I admire vegans but I think total veganism, while not out of the question, is a very long way in the future if at all possible. Nativie Americans could never have survived as well without the buffalo and their grateful way of honoring the gifts of Mother Earth is more closely aligned with my way of thinking. I will use animal products prodced in a way that is not intentionally cruel or inhumane but the reality is death is part of all of this and predators and prey keep things in balance. Our consciousness makes us aware of suffering and for me tht means joing my vegan activist niece in trying to get better treatment for animals. The truth of bebeaking chickens and rasing them incages with no regard to how they live is terribl and it's changable. Getting my family back in Michigan to adopt a vegetarian diet is virtually impossible. But they can be amade aware that the cow they are consuming suffered to become very large to give the best yield or that animals which are ill or injured are left to die, suffering. A bullet to the brain would quickly end that and that may be distasteful but it's the lesser of two evils as I see it. These animals are not seen a living creatures but as product and if it's no up to quality it is discarded and no thought for it's suffering is given. Organicaly raised cattle are required to be slaughtered in FDA approved slaughterhouses and that's a shame because those places are horrifying and the stress the animals endure in the process is not necessary except to improve productions and kill and get them to market quickly. Most people I know are capable of great compassion if they are educated about these things they simply do not know and that's where I focus my energies. I have gotten quite a number of people to go organic and humanely raised because they are going to eat meat andhave no problem eating it. Many of my sisters pay more for the organic stuff knowing it's not only better for them but for the animals as well and I consider that a victory. My daughter is a vegetarian and I am a "better" vegetarian than she although I still eat some animal proteins. I am surprised she has any muscle mass since she doesn't get the protein thing in regard to vegetarianism and I admire her commitment but, for her health, I would love to get her to eat chicken and/or fish. Free range chicken and wild sustainable fish.

Yeah, I'm not really worried too much... Cloning is cost prohibitive at this point. One day it may drop in price, but until then, I'd take this with a grain of salt. It's so much cheaper to artficially inseminate a herd than to try to clone even the best milkers or beef cattle.
 
Hi there,

I live in Canada and yesterday went to a free lecture at "The Big Carrot" - a healthfood store in Toronto.
The lecturer was Brendan Brazier
http://www.brendanbrazier.com

He is a Vegan but also a triathelete. He started training when he was 15 and is now 30. He just created bars and powder that are totally vegan and have helped him train.

I am not a vegetarian but it was interesting to hear him lecture about how people didnt think he could be do the ironman games on a vegetarian diet. He struggled but eventually overcame and just wrote a book as well. His website has some interesting info.

I haven't tried the bars, but the meal replacement powder he has tastes like dirt! :-(
