Man is an amazing animal, by David Coats

[rainy]

"Isn`t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoes - by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out a card praying for 'Peace on Earth.'" (preface to Old MacDonald`s Factory Farm, by C. David Coats)

Has anyone read Old MacDonald's Factory Farm or any of Robbins books on factory farming and the American diet?

Even if you do not believe that eating meat is unhealthy can you admit that fatty meats, pumped up meats and hydrogenated oils cause most of the degenerative diseases of our times?
