pineapple, I have to agree with you. I really don't judge or alienate anyone for eating how they want to. we raise cattle for a living, i have a hard time at times eating a cow I know I worked with, saw had a baby, or nursed back to health, just to put her in the freezer. We all have to make the choice of what we want to eat and why we decide not to. I guess my main point of putting the list up was because since we do raise cattle, we have had opportunities where people judge us for doing what we do, without thinking of what they receive from that very animal that they are condemning us for.
I have not watch food inc., because i have such a compassion for animals, and really can't fathom anyone treating them any different than i would, as i describe it, in my bubble, the animal is treated just like i would treat it prior to putting it down, if i could put it down. ha ha ....
this has been a very interesting thread. I have high cholesterol, have had iron issues in the past and have recently worked with having digestive issues. choosing a diet that works well with my health and with my values is a balance i work with every day.
I actually cooked steak tonight for my dh, i ate some and while i was eating it , i thought about all of what i read today. didn't dare tell dh anything that i read, he has a harder time excepting people for who they are and i just didn't want to debate this tonight. that will be another day.
all in all I love my cows, chickens, and the deer in my back yard.
to each his/her own, and i respect that everyday...
blessings to all.
