32. I don't want to vote the vegetarian choice

Tue Feb 26, 2013, 09:11 PM

Feb 2013

Because I really don't want to call my carnivorous friends "disgusting mammal chompers ".

This is one of the reasons I eat only veggies (some from my garden), eggs from my daughter's hen house, cheese from identifiable sources (Tillamook), and will not buy anything that is "mechanically separated". And now we cannot expect that label on the thing to tell us what is REALLY in there. Man, I don't even want to go there......

What we are witnessing is the triumph of the ideal that says that the individual's monetary and other profit is the only consideration, and the spectacle of the wholesale destruction of the rule of law in this country...otherwise none of this makes any sense. When did the mafia take over my country?
