I'm not attacking you in any way. Just writing some thoughts.

I never said that just cause yr gonna eat it you treat it cruelly. I do not eat veal for this reason though it tastes delicious.
Who said anything about lazy or cheap?
You can't feed a pig nastiness or his meat will be nasty. Taking care of farm animals is not a task for someone that is lazy. It takes alot more work than a veggie garden does. It is by no means cheap either.
When I say tradition I am speaking of the farming tradition it is an assumption to say this tradition is lazy and cheap. Sorry but I would rather blow my cat's brains out than watch it lay on the ground and suffer. It's just death. Not lazy. It actuallity it is more humane than promoting suffering.
If my dad did not Kill Stuff then I would have had nothing to eat but cucumbers and green beans. Five growing kids cannot get enough nutrition from that. And we did not grow soy beans.
Sorry phoenix...i respect yr opinion...I just go on tangents sometimes.......you should hear me in real life you got me all riled up now
