If you eat anything that comes out of typical factory farms these days, you've already left nature far behind. You're swallowing a man-made chemical factory in every bite, including antibiotics, growth hormones, and pesticides. Plus you've digested enough man-made marketing to consider animal cruelty irrelevant. If you can handle that, then trying out for Fear Factor seems more congruent than worrying about cloning.
If you can stomach the existing factory farming process from beginning to end, how can the cloning bit possibly be of any concern?
If I had the mindset to eat animals, I'd wolf down the clones with nary a thought. It would be no more a concern than my peas touching my mashed potatoes. |
Speaking of farming processes, I've seen video clips of animal cruelty and factory conditions etc. but do you guys think those are real? I mean, do you think that the majority of those factories are like that? or are these video's just made to spread fear? I mean, it's kind of like when you see people spitting in food at restaurants. I worked at a McDonalds for 2 years when I was younger and that never happened when I worked there, even when people complained about their food, made special order etc. When food dropped to the ground we chucked it, never serving it to the customer etc. But everyone always says "They'll probably spit on my food." whenever they complain about something etc.
So I'm wondering if these video's I've seen on the Internet and such where they have these fly infested cows with dripping blood gashes and infections on their udders are really what it's like in most factories? Chickens without beaks?
I've been slowly reducing my intake of meat for the last few years and will be making an even bigger reduction in the new year, for health reasons, but some of these video's I've seen just seem more like propaganda than anything else. What do you guys think?
