U.S. Research Lab Lets Livestock Suffer in Quest for Profit

Today's article in the New York Times
U.S. Research Lab Lets Livestock Suffer in Quest for Profit
Animal Welfare at Risk in Experiments for Meat Industry...

After reading I feel so hopeless, the poor animals!

The humans and the species that we have become.

I started questioning my food choices

because of health reasons and very quickly realized

where our meat comes from, long story short;

I am a healthy vegan now,

easily done if you get the proper information.

70% of the crops in the USA go to feed animals,

if we use those crops to eat the grains directly,

we could actually feed the entire planet,

and save water and other natural resources.

I am glad people are getting educated and

realizing that producing 'cheap' meat

is NOT the answer to feed the planet,

the UN has been saying this for years

I truly hope that people reading this article in NYT

start paying more attention to what they eat,

the amount of suffering that implies trying

to feed a planet on ‘cheap meat’,

tax payers shouldn’t be supporting this nor

the immense cost of medical bills for a sick population.
