"Eh, nah I won't give up meat."

"…And if 30 million people a year are dying of hunger or of hunger related diseases?"

"Nah I still won't give up meat."

*beep*

"While people are starving elsewhere, 9/10 of the grain grown in the United States is fed to animals so we can eat meat. The result is that we feed pigs, better than many third world countries feed people."

*beep*

"Alot of 'em should get enough food shouldn't they? What do they spend their money on?"

*beep*

"If they starve, they starve, and it's up to them, it's the way they put themselfs ain'it?"

Feathers burn so easily, the cat is blinded in the garden,

Last vision the lark is flame.

The cattle shed gives off the smell of Sunday kitchen, the gentle

Eye, the dispensable perfection.

Before the flash takes two weeks' food, pile the sacks of earth and hide. All of us here know it, we grew it.

Fighting amongst ourselves, leaving bits of flesh on barbed wire,

A little blood on the floor.

Locks and bars across the door, well versed in violation,

Our children beat each other in the garden.

Our failure to accept the earth, we talk of love but push it to the edge. Push it to the edge.

This is no natural aggression composing death, I am afraid for beauty

When I see the fist,

The perfect hand that turns against itself, the perfect hand that holds a

Gun or wields a butcher's blade, or leads to death,

Leads to death the used-up bull or incarcerates the hopeless fool

Or takes the forest with a single flame

Leaves the nest an empty shell. Human kind condemns the hunting

Beast yet their own choice leaves behind such ragged meat.

The military dream of blood,

Their sweet wine flowing in the veins of men

Who work towards our bloody end.

They fly Enola gaily,

Give birth to this waiting…

Waiting, give us the reality of our hatred,

Give the earth nothing.

Melting, goats dead on the green,

Dying lambs bleating by the wire…

Three last days on the earth,

I lay down to die in the grass.

At this point, I'm starting to think the ladies of PETA are lesbians.

People trying to guilt trip me into giving up meat is a really good way to make me angry.

And when I'm angry I want to eat meat.

>:C You can't win like this. There must be better ways.

Vegetables may have different parts, but they have parts nonetheless.

Have a heart, Sk8, and go starve yourself. :)

…Because they model in the nude?

Why do homosexuals have this reputation of being oversexed?

Also, being vegetarian makes a lot of sense beyond moral reasons. The meat industry is a plague on the environment, and cattle consume enough grain to feed starving countries. I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but it's pretty enlightening if you spend the time to research it.

Even just cutting out beef will make a big impact. Much more than driving a "fuel-efficient" car or fighting AIDS in countries that are suffering from dysentery, cholera, and other diseases that don't make headlines.

Not to be too crazy granola hippie or whatever, but it is something to think about instead of just dismissing it because meat tastes good (it does).
