reposted! thanks eric cutie!

I just saw this and reposted it, b/c I am disgusted w/the cavalier attitude of the cruelty of meat culture...animal rights are human rights!

bye- bye

The more people realize how bad meat is for their personal health and well-being the more likely they are to go vegan. It's the same egocentric attitude that got us into factory farming that may help get us out :)

I wish the people I knew would open up their minds and listen to these points. I have been unsuccessful thus far in my quest to educate. I seem to be surrounded by the most diehard (and I am afraid they WILL die hard because of it)meat eaters on the planet.

This interview eases my disappointment in Issue 2's passage here in Ohio.

makes me wonder about my neighbors...I live across the street from a vile Simmons plant :(

Gag! And yet people still bought sausages, even with the odor... In a vegan neighborhood Sowell would have been nabbed years ago!

Stephanie - My objection to the meat industry is the raising of animals under less than healthy conditions which are then fed huge amounts of anti-biotics, growth hormones to boost the output and fed crap to cut down on costs, all to the profit of the meat growers and the detriment of those that do eat meat. Your solution is utopian and I don't ... Read Morethink it is going to happen. Health costs are driven upwards by these practices. I am not discussing how they are getting slaughtered, but how they are getting raised. The number of vegans in this country is so small it is virtually impossible to eat in a restaurant in most places. The only benefit I saw going vegan was that my pH went up. The rest was just not worth the effort on my part and the pain it produced all who came in contact with me as far as food went. Besides, the vegan cheeses tasted like plastic.

The thing that I love about the Cattlemen's article is how they try to say each expose is the exception, and that the rest of them are doing a great job and are hurt by this one bad apple. Yeah, right. That's starting to wear pretty thin.

Hey Erik... just bought a copy of Meat Market on Amazon.com and can't wait to read it

Thanks, Brad, for helping me keep things going. Much appreciated and I hope you enjoy the book!

Do you see what is happening here in Ohio? Issue 2 will basically give animal agribusiness total control to run their industry as they see fit without any interference and no accountability. Big Agribusiness has poured millions into this campaign to keep ballot initiative from ever telling them what to do. I am soooo upset. It will probably ... Read Morepass. They are claiming it will provide Ohioans with "safe food" and support local foods.....yeah...because Ohio has a gazzilion factory farms....The whole thing makes me want to throw up.

Hey Aurora...you're right, Issue 2 seems certain to pass. But I'm confident that HSUS has a plan to turn the tables. Expect me to do a Vegan.com podcast with Paul Shapiro shortly after the election.

The good news is that you're in Ohio, so you're in a great position to work to overturn Issue 2. Shoot me an email if you'd like to get involved and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the right people.

This is such good news! I have put THE CONSCIOUS COOK on my holiday wish list. I have so many vegan cookbooks but you can never have too many. : )

YEAH!!!!

I enjoyed his related article in the NY Times magazine, "Against Meat," but I got the impression that he and his family are vegetarian, not vegan. Curious how that weighs in. But I'd love to read the book in any case. Nice review.

thank you for this... been wondering about the book

I guess it's a vicious cycle.

Lots of coverage about washing hands, but nothing about the source! NOTHING is being done to keep this from happening again and again....all the while, the pharm companies are smiling all the way to the bank!
