As the smell of Christmas wafts around the corner, let me tell you what your turkey, roast beef and ham have been fed:
fish, offal, animal remains, reprocessed engine oil, sewage sludge, "reprocessed" chicken feces & feathers
Animals are also choc full of a bunch of antibiotics to control disease and stress(drugs calm them down)

Is this true? This is what my environmental science teacher told us. Someday I might become a vegetarian..

my dad and i agree that you should take everything your teacher says with a grain of salt - and that's toning down what my dad said a fair bit. our turkeys are fed nothing but a blend of freshly ground corn, wheat and soy beans, no sewage or feces whatsoever.

(kirstyn) sagði...

I will never become a vegetarian.

I bet that some turkeys have been fed that, but to believe that all are is ... well an exaggeration.

Madeleine sagði...

haha did your dad read this jonathan? i bet he loved it.

well there is something to be said for vegetarianism. the energy it takes to make meat is huuuge in comparison to the energy we actually get from it. and we're running out of food for everyone if we keep it up. at the moment though, i think i believe in a diet with a little bit of meat, but not too much.

Rachel sagði...

i eat jons-farm turkey.

mmm, non-feces bird.


but i'd still eat it anyways.

Madeleine sagði...

haha
yeah
its weird... but entirely possible to re-process human crap... so we could eat it. if things got really bad or something. isn't that gross?

Abram sagði...

reminds me of soilent green. other then the killing of living people part. is it really that bad? (hypothetically?...)

MMM meat.

... sagði...

i'd personally rather go soylent green than brown

kathleen sagði...

this makes me glad that i am a vegetarian. but that being said i never became a vegetarian because i was against killing animals or anything to do with the animals actually.

and become vegetarian! only because then we can trade yummy vegetarian recipes...

Rachel sagði...

why did you become vegetarian?
