Well, lets not go that far. There are people in the world who work bent over for hours on slave wages just to pick food for people to eat, and others who eek out livings in slave conditions in sweatshops to provide clothing. Unless you grow your own food and make your own clothes, you may be exploiting one of these people.

Nice one Bobbie, I love these Veg heads (not meaning anyone in particliuar, before knickers get twisted)who are so high and mighty about us carnivors exploiting animals. Where do they think their veggies come from "I only eat organic" that's how its bloody grown, not how its picked!

As a species, mankind is OMNIVORE.

CARNIVORE or HERBIVORE is a lifestyle choice.

Possibly the biggest concern for me is actually genetic modification and/or enhancing drugs fed to animals. This has without a doubt filtered through the food chain over the last few decades and would explain a lot re: rage, intolerance, allergies, the list is endless ............ NOW THATS WORRYING !!!

Personally, I have no problems munching a Big Mac or a juicy steak. The dearly departed animal could possibly take comfort from it's tasty legacy.

Why did this get pulled ? It's a very fair and valid point.

Thanks 3, I asked the mod. It was not copied over with the rest of the thread and it couldn't be corrected later.

So true about the genetic modification. And you have to wonder how many of the hormones going into the animals affect growing children.

Chicken??? You barbarian you! And poor little Nemo.

Im not at all interested in people being exploited
ANIMALS ARE NOT FOR FOOD
If you are willing to kill a defenceless animal for food go ahead (Gordon Ramsay struggled and im sure there wld be many men and women the same!!) Otherwise - you are simply a coward, end of.
