I appreciate Ntilikilla’s thoughtfulness on the ethics of consuming meat, but I also wonder where that thoughtfulness was when he was trying to force-feed us bullshit earlier in the week.

It’s the same level of thoughtfulness, actually. I don’t accept the word of authority without questioning it whether that authority is James Comey, Robert Mueller, the CIA, the DNC or our animal agriculture industry.

Actually where I live most cows are free range as well as chickens.

Upstate NY has a lot of that going on. I’m actually raising honey bees next year and an thinking about doing meat rabbits.

I have this image now of someone smiling big, standing next to a cow and hugging it around the neck, and, that animal looking at you sideways –
scared as hell…

CAN’T DESCRIBE THIS FEELING !! I EARNED COACH TRUST & I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT OPPURTUNITY !!! ATL HAWKS??

Like, not even a “thanks Jeff for everything buddy we’re gonna miss you” or anything, and then he demands a trade after two seasons… I’m not a veteran NBA player but oh well, I don’t think this kind of stuff looks very good in a locker room.

That said, I am a huge fan of plant based yumminess. If you’re looking for a great vegan cookbook go with the Engine 2 Diet. Excellent recipes that will make you happy with yourself while giving you good taste.

I consistently make the soups in there and I could make most people think they were eating split pea soup with ham with their vegan version.

I grow and preserve a ton of vegetables every year as well as make a ton of preserves from friends berry bushes. One of my best friends loves to grow corn so I blanche and freeze 200 or so so ears a year. Helps on the food budget and you know where you’re getting it from.

If anyone wants to know anything about food preservation I have done just about all of it. I know how to pressure can and water bath and I do it all by the book. Let me know if you want to talk about it I’d love to spread that knowledge. I have some great recipes too!

To great health for all!

Seems to be an equivocation to me by comparing harm to invertebrates with harm large mammals. Invertebrates have less developed cognitive faculties and so I would not place harm to them on par with harm to large mammals. What’s further, farm animals often suffer ongoing cruelties before the slaughter, a fact I find far less tolerable than death itself.

What geo said at 85, the recommended charge for the incident was aggravated battery. I don’t know if he could actually be deported or anything like that but there could be a case for just voiding his contract if he’s found guilty and is arrested.
