The Unhealthy Meat Market is Killing Us!

Yes, if you eat meat, I dare you to read this column from Nicholas Kristof...  it's pretty unappetizing. No, I guess maybe disgusting would be a better description. Tyson Foods is a major killer of livestock. They slaughter 135,000 cows, 391,000 hogs, and 41 million chickens per week. The whole industrial meat business is so wrong, on so many fronts. Not good for the animals, not good for the planet, not good for the people that eat the dead meat. The animals live and die in horrifying conditions. They are shot up with antibiotics to fatten them up, they breed chickens with breasts so large, they can't even stand up. The waste is a major problem and polluter of the environment. People eat the result of this whole disgusting process. There are other ways of getting nourishment and protein. It's not hard to do. The "unhealthy meat market" really is a scourge on the land. Long live vegetables!
