Most of the animals who kill for food could not survive if they didn’t. That is not the case for us. We are better off not eating meat.

Go out in the woods and get eaten by a bear, PETA.

The best way to reduce consumption and so production is to levy a tax on those products and increase it continously and incrementally till the consumption falls to zero or close to that.

Damn good thing we're having Frog Leg's tonight.

Though tomorrow and the following 2 weeks I'll def hit every item on that list. Repeatedly.

It's good to see the right raising awareness about the consumption of meat and its negative effects on the environment.

Good grief, it would be PETA that would put us in agreement with each other. Now I dislike PETA even more... ;)

PS: Jealous about the frogs legs...hard to find up here.

I would wager the issue is more with how we raise our meat, rather than the consumption of it.

Well yeah, but the world would be a better place if PETA got eaten by a bear. Plus, the bear would have a good meal.
 
Aren't cow farts full of methane? So doesn't eating cows actually lower greenhouse gases?

We got a really good butcher, meat is cheap and fresh, and they occasionally carry more "off the beaten path" items. I'm all excited for tonight, I haven't ever made frog legs, always went to a place across town.

I don't think the frogs get big enough up here...so there's never any around. I'm sure there's a restaurant somewhere, but I've never had it. I like those "exotic" meats shops...though I've had mixed results. Last two attempts were 50/50: Kangaroo burgers I made were awesome... Emu steaks I made, still cringing years later, inedible, totally my fault. Moved away from where this place was a few years ago, definitely miss it.

It's not really "exotic meat" shop, they just carry some odds and ends from time to time. The butterfly pork chops are 3 inches thick and tender as butter. The BEST part is they get in about 20 dozen farm fresh eggs every week from a number of local farms. They are the only eggs I'll buy

This weekend I'm stuffing a whole cow stuffed with a young cow, stuffed with a pig, stuffed with a lamb, stuffed with a turkey, stuffed with a chicken stuffed with lobster, shrimp, crab and scallops and smoking them, basting the whole nine yards with butter the whole time and then serving them with a side of asparagus covered in cheese.

Are they factoring in all the gas-guzzling machines needed to plow enormous fields of their fancy vegan quinoa? Or all the animals killed by said machines?

I think there has never been an organization more outlandishly hypocritical than PETA. It almost rises to the level of farce.

Well, I live in rural Ontario, so we love the farmer's markets....even have a local guy doing heritage breed pork (Red Wattle), and it's a treat...high budget, but really good. And the local grocery store will do custom cuts, and they buy local, so that's good. I find the hardest steak to buy is a good porterhouse...too many butchers don't know what that is anymore, they just wanna give out T-bones, and keep the filet to themselves...the bastards!! ;)

I grew up in Minnesota and we always went to the farmers market to get our Christmas tree in December
