“PEACE ON EARTH”
“Isn’t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife – birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes – by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative – and fatal – health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.”

Off topic but related to diet.

We heard this on the UK radio this morning. By 2050 unless lifestyle changes are made, 1 in 3 Americans will have Type 2 diabetes, due to poor diet and lack of exercise. At the moment 1 in 10 have the disease.

I do not know what the UK statistics are. Obesity is certainly rising (you should see what’s in some of the supermarket trollies) and alcohol related diseases are prevalent especially in the young.

We need WikiLeaks to help here.

Remember the Creekstone Farms case? The government refused to allow Creekstone to test its cattle – even at its own expense. That is an important legal case – reminds me a bit of the Percey Schmeister case with Monsanto.

Also, check the labels on some over the counter meds. Bovine neck bones are used in some products that contain chondroitin.
