The PETA (people for ethical treatment of animals) are now saying that fishing is cruel to the fish. Fish feel pain and that to snag one with a steel hook, drag it along for 50 yards or so and then haul it out of the water so it suffocates is sick.
I mean sure, chickens that get their bones broken through mistreatment and shipping isn’t cool, but demands to the livestock industry transform into increased costs to me as a customer. Do I really want to spend eight dollars on a hamburger just so i can have the peace of mind that the cow and a few more square feet of space in it’s cage? When chickens evolve past humans, and are herding us around on human farms, I don’t expect them to treat us like royalty.
This is good though: School officials in Belgium have begun serving students low alcohol beer at lunchtime, believing beer to be a far healthier beverage than sugary soda.
A Flemish beer-lovers’ club asked schools to put “children’s beer” on the school lunch menu. At least two schools agreed, and one has launched a pilot program; more schools are expected to follow suit when the new school year begins in September. A spokesperson for the beer club, citing the risk of obesity and even cancer in children from unhealthy drinks, argued that beer is a healthier beverage because it contains less sugar.
PETA has always argued that beer is better than cow’s milk. While beer is fat- and cholesterol-free and contains no hormones or antibiotics, milk is loaded with fat, contains 20 mg of cholesterol in every 8-ounce glass, and is full of pesticides and antibiotics fed to cows, including a bovine growth hormone that can give guys breasts. The consumption of dairy foods is also linked to diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Doesn’t that just leave a big kick in the pants for the four food groups? I remember that Popeye’s love for spinach was created at the US government’s request because laboratory examinations showed that spinach contained ten times more iron than other green vegetables. To encourage children to eat the bitter leaves, the government had the cartoon industry create a fun-loving sailor who gained super-human strength instantly whenever he ate a can of the stuff.
It was later realized that spinach contains the same amount of iron as other plants. When the scientist was recording the data, he had misplaced the decimal point by one digit.
