The reason i ask is that there seems to be a lot more Vegetarians now days.
And I know i eat a lot less meat than before.
A whole lot less if you consider seafood as seafood and not "meat". | It's completely true. You know that saying "a chicken in every pot?" That's because meat used to be expensive.
Per capita meat consumption was 150lbs/person in the 19th century, 200 lbs by 1960. Putting Meat on the American Table ... - Google Book Search

Current Mood: | Re: Organic farming environmental disaster! Just like smoking its what is in your geans that will effect you. There is NOTHING wrong with eating red meat or all the other **** people are talking about.
Like all other things we eat red meat has its benifits too.
Its the AMMOUNT you eat that may get you.
Smoke, drink and eat in moderation and you will be ok except for whats in your family geans.

BTW: It was proven in tests across America that town water and well water was better than any bottled water.
But if you want to drink 'sewer water' like they found in some bottled water and pay a buck for something that is WORSE than town or well water then go ahead.

Whilst he'll pay more because of the higher costs for the farmer, he should be forced to pay even more for the damage he inflicts on the rest of us |
