I support eating meat and the fat off of meat as part of a balanced diet of real, whole, living food. When I say meat, I don’t mean “USDA corn fed,” which is a euphemism for “tortured factory steer.” I mean the meat of steers that grazed in meadows like they did 150 years ago.
The freak out over the last E-coli outbreak has simmered down now, so people have stopped thinking about the cause of these outbreaks. But we need to think about it. Because never in the history of human kind have we displayed this level of mass gluttony and disregard for the suffering of the animals that give us sustenance. Nature loves payback though. Keep cows in concentration camps, feed them each other along with chicken-poop-soaked newspaper, and Mother Nature will eventually get pissed off. As you read this, possibly incubating in the brains of countless people is the bovine brain-wasting disease commonly known as “mad cow disease.” No one knows when or how many people will suffer brain melt down in the future.
But as they say on TV, “That’s not all!” Ground water from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations’ fecal lagoons is contaminating happy, sunny veggie farms with E.coli. Beleaguered farm workers—who can’t help but have poor personal hygiene—spread E.coli around.
In the film The Last of the Mohicans, Hawkeye, the orphaned Anglo-Saxon frontiersman runs with his adopted father, Mohican Chingachgook and his blood son, Uncas through a heavily canopied forest. When an elk is felled by the .59 caliber round of Hawkeye’s five- foot rifle, the three men kneel at the beast. In Mohican, Chingachgook speaks to the elk, “We’re sorry to kill you, Brother. Forgive us. I do honor to your courage and speed, your strength.”
Ghandi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Instead of freaking out about E-coli outbreaks, maybe we should freak out a little bit more about our lack of moral progress when it comes to the treatment of animals, and have more reverence for those living beings.
Peace, Fun, Love.
