How meat contributes to global warming
Pound for pound, beef production generates greenhouse gases that contribute more than 13 times as much to global warming as do the gases emitted from producing chicken.

WOW. I've eaten less beef in the last few years for health reasons. This is a good reason to drop beef from my diet entirely.
ReplyDeleteOuch. I wonder how bad it will get once all the hot air comes out of Obama?
ReplyDeletethis won't be a problem in the near future when we begin to breed boneless, factory-farmed arabs as a protein source.
ReplyDeleteBeing as you are spineless, Kahein, I am assuming you will lend your genes to the breeding process.
ReplyDeletePoor kahein...He doesn't realise we're using him to show how racist he and many other Zionists are. When we could simply ban him!! Not very clever.

Red meat causes cancer. It has been thoroughly reaearched. An article appeared a month ago in New Scientist. I'll try to find it.

Warning! Difficult viewing.

I don't think he cares, TGIA. You see, he can't say any of this to an actual Arab, so the only way he can express his hatred is anonymously.

ReplyDeleteHere it is:
Red and processed meat linked to early death
"Both types of meat have been linked to cancer and heart disease, but Rashmi Sinha and colleagues at the US National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Maryland, wanted to know their effect on overall death rates. They asked 545,000 volunteers aged between 50 and 71 about their diet over the past year, and used this to estimate their meat intake. The researchers then monitored the volunteers for 10 years."

Pork is much better for the environment. :)
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember kahein has an obsession with breeding humans. I wonder what type of business he's in.
ReplyDelete.
It wasn't scientific, if I recall.
ReplyDeletePlease everyone, it takes so little to do right, boycott KFC! Check out 'KFC' house of horror' in the link above by gulp. Their chickens are drugged, tortured, and boiled alive!!!
ReplyDeleteand boiled alive!!!
ReplyDelete---------
This can't be true!!! I have to check that.

ReplyDeleteI just watched. Maybe I shouldn't have because now I'm stuck with the excuriating images of despicable representatives of the human race inflicting unbelievable suffering on poor helpless creatures...BTW, I was doubting what you said was true it was rather a rhetorical exclamation.
ReplyDelete.
I just found out today and I couldn't believe my own eyes, greedy bastards.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take your word for it and not look at the video, can't stomach things like that.
ReplyDeleteHere's something else (unrelated) about KFC:
http://www.kfc.co.uk/about-kfc/halal/
Wouldn't being boiled alive contradict halal slaughter?
here is a quote from that page:
"We continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter..."
bunch of greedy liars.
btw, they are also going to start a similar trial in Israel and go Kosher (other than the chicken, they will also use a butter replacment or something).
ReplyDeletequick question for you guys - Would Kosher meat be considered ok (from a religious standpoint) for an observant Muslim to eat? A guy (Muslim) I used to study with said it was, but he was more of an authority on beer than on Islam...
Ok, google has the answer. Turns out it depends on who you ask :)
ReplyDeleteI know many Muslims will eat Kosher stuff.
ReplyDeleteI became a vegetarian almost 20 years ago, after reading Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation" and other books, and I still have a hard time reading or seeing this stuff. Vegetarianism is a lot more accepted now than it was then, and it's much easier to find good veggie food in the supermarket or in restaurants.
ReplyDeleteIt still seems to bother people though -- I have no idea why -- I'm not someone who proselytizes about it or harangues people while they're eating meat. (Heck, I cook steak for Mr. DancingO, although I have to admit it's getting harder to do.) But many people want to argue with me ("Do you wear leather shoes?" "Do you wear fur?" "Don't you think we were meant to eat meat?" Or my favorite "Then why aren't you skinnier?") Or they simply "forget" even though I've told them over and over again that I don't eat meat, and invite me over for beef stew or hot dogs. (Eesh. In those cases I go, and bring my own food.) I don't get this.
BTW, I was doubting
ReplyDelete--------
Wasn't
.
Absolutely..But generally speaking it should be ok. As long as as a prayer was pronounced. But then again who's generally observing what is generally thought?
