[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1111065"] I'm a lapsing vegetarian (every now and then I eat meat), toyed with vegan diet, my son's friend us a rawetarian (only eats uncooked fruit and veg) and that diet is so hard but he looks great on it. I'm with [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] on the meat issue, no meat, tiny brains and bodies. If you look at China, Japan etc where diet used to be mainly fish but they are now eating more meat and are growing taller, their skin is lighter all relatively quickly within a few generations. I grew up in a very rural area, we knew where our food came from as it was probably mooing or baaing in a nearby field a few weeks before it was on our plates. My mum had a saying hunger's a good kitchen, if you are starving proper third world starvation do you give a toot what you are eating. I watched a programme on hunger a mother was feeding her children, boiled newspaper, it looked like porridge, she said it stopped that hollow feeling, can you imagine having to do that. Here we are pondering giving up food, when there are babies with nothing. On the dog subject, dog isn't a good meat, animals that eat meat usually don't taste good, but it is cheap. The problem I have with the meat industry in this country is the welfare ethics are so bad, but we fall for it, free range doesn't mean the animal was wandering about a field, it means they have access to daylight and outside space. 100.000 hens in a barn with a retractable roof where the hens can be on a perch or floor are considered free range. We don't need to watch films of the slaughter process, we need to be seeing how the animal lived before that point if we concern ourselves more on that then the slaughter process would eventually be better.
