I've been reading Joel Salatin's book The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs (this book has a biblical point of view-please diregard this post if this offends you)... he writes...life is so precious that it requires death...everything requires death in order to create life...everything is eating and being eaten...(pg 27)...squirt a dab of [processed food stuff] on a table and it will sit there for a year. It doesn't grow mold...it just sits there inert...it's not alive. We're the first culture...routinely eating things that have never lived...then requesting prayer for the ailments that result. (p 29).
You got me curious, as I had not heard of that guy before. I googled and found that he has written several book's. One book that I have eyeballed was titled "Everything that I want to do is illegal."
