[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1113202, member: 17025"] Just saw this - The agriculture political industrial complex, fueled by massive requirements for inputs to feed farmed animals, has created a monster. If people, especially in so called "developed" nations, ate a plant based diet, we'd have millions of acres more to grow food for humans. It is staggering to learn that 70% of ALL soy, wheat, corn, barley grown, is fed to cows and other species of farmed animals. The meat and dairy industry sell their pounds of flesh as just that, the fatter the better market price. We also feed 80% of ALL anti-biotics manufactured to farmed animals. If one researches the foundation of the American Empire, one understands the livestock trade and how farmed animals get the lions share of food, while millions of human beings can't afford to eat proper nutrients. Instead of eating "pork patties" and drinking milk from the udders of species who produce it for their young, we should hold politicians accountable to shift the agriculture system to one that feeds humans, NOT billions of farmed animals, leaving a legacy of human disease, environmental devastation, and increasing risks for super bugs that mutate into deadly strains of E-coli( NOT FROM VEGGIES BUT FROM ANIMAL WASTE).
