The question we must ask ourselves as a culture is whether we want to embrace the change that must come, or resist it. Are we so attached to the dietary fallacies with which we were raised, so afraid to counter the arbitrary laws of eating taught to us in childhood by our misinformed parents, that we cannot alter the course they set us on, even if it leads to our own ruin? Does the prospect of standing apart or encounttering ridicule scare us even from saving ourselves?

If we're talking about healthcare lets talk about a healthy diet. If there is anything better in the world in dealing with a healthcare problem it's prevention! We CAN afford prevention!

There is, however, a moral basis for the vegetarian diet for which the indeterminate value of an animal's life takes on irrelevance. And that moral basis is a concern for the environment, a value as absolute as the value we all place on human life, since humanity will not survive for long on a poisoned planet. To be an environmentalist who happens to eat meat is like being a philanthropist who doesn't happen to give to charity.

Everything revolves around the fork.

An environmentalist that eats meat is like a philanthropist that won't give money to charities.

You can't change yesterdays, but you can change tomorrows.

I believe if the viewing of slaughter was required to eat meat, most folks would become vegetarians.
