Family farmers are victims of public policy that gives preference to feeding animals over feeding people. This has encouraged the cheap grain policy of this nation and has made the beef cartel the biggest hog at the trough.

For those who are still merely vegetarian and not yet vegan, I ask, what in heaven's name are you waiting for?

To consider yourself an environmentalist and still eat meat is like saying you're a philanthropist who doesn't give to charity.

Veganism isn’t just a strict vegetarian diet; it is a complete philosophical viewpoint. It is practical in outlook, simple to understand and aspires to the highest environmental and spiritual values. I am sure it holds the key to a future lifestyle for a humane planetary guardianship.

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!

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