So periodically I have a problem

See I like meat. And I understand that my species has evolved with canine teeth because we're supposed to eat meat (ratio of teeth to food type is about 50/50 molars to incisors and plants/meat) But damn We have made the "industry" INCREDIBLY DISGUSTING, they are poisoning the aniamls, and by default poisoning th epopulation eating them. LIke consider the following, a) antibiotic resistance is sky high, antibiotics are given in massive amounts to animals we eat b) cancer rates have increased liek a billionfold for various reasons, chemical stimulants in meat being one c) if steroids are bad for athletes, why aren't they bad for cows? d) who wants a genetically modified anything?

it makes me glad I switched to farm raised and organics. You can also try some alternative, like ostrich, buffalo, and other non hormone/antibiotic pumped meats. They're pretty good too. And always, whatever you're uncle shot last week. I do believe in game (as long as you eat it)

And if you watch The Corporation it's even worse.

meet your meat

We are supposed to eat meat, just not like this. It's bad for everybody involved. And BTW, to the moronic ass biochem "graduate" who wanted to argue with me, what biochem school did you graduate from (insert UC Davis) that told you bovine growth hormone won't effect humans? Do you know anything about physiology? And if they give drugs to animals, and we eat them, by default we took the drugs... Or maybe you're the idiot that believe the reason why so much environmental estrogen is floating around is because this imaginary group of women are dumping thier birth control pills down the toilet just to mess with you.

To everybpdy else, don't believe the hype. You don't have to be a vegetarian, even just cutting down on your meat consumption helps. Or switching to other sources for your meat. Just knwo that anything that come 10 patties deep in a frozen bag from wallmart for $2 isn't even considered Grade A (and ask yourself... why is there a grading system for beef? Where does the Grade B-F go...?)

The industries don't care about you or what you eat. The owners can afford the healthcare. You can't.
