Another no here. I think I’ll grill a burger right now.

This article really mooved me.

I found it absolutely bovine.
Oh, I've made up for it in other areas, as I follow Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" regimen (80-85%). Just had my second followup: HbA1c was 5.0, after being taken off metformin in February. Blood glucose has ranged between 100-115 over the past five months. Cholesterol in the 150s.
It's worth checking him out.
This study is absurd as it only simulates the last few minutes of a steers life. There is a lot of “life” before that and much of it is unpleasant in my opinion. There are many videos on Youtube and elsewhere that depict the commercially-raised lifestock experience. It is pretty disgusting in my strongest opinion. But for me, vegetarianism is simply not an option.
So I got me a place outside town recently, and have begun raising chickens (for eggs and meat), turkeys, geese, pigs, and goats (for milk, mainly). I did so mainly because I have lately begun to think that meat and eggs and milk I raise myself is healthier. And tastier! Time will tell.
But also because I want to give my animals a life that is as happy as they could get. They are all pastured and pretty much do animal stuff all day. Which is mainly foraging for food and working stuff out, i.e. one-upping each other and looking to get lucky. Not too far removed from a corporate environment. And then I will give them a dignified and relatively painless death.
As for beef, we simply do not have enough land for a steer. So this fall we will buy a grass fed steer from a neighbor. So, problem solved.
Not sure when I became concerned about the treatment of “meat animals” as I grew up in the Texas Panhandle in proximity to dozens of feed lots. Can’t explain it, just happy to have an alternative.
Yes, but they still wouldn't taste good on the grill.
Good point on abortions! Betcha they won’t think of that one.
And this is supposed to be “scientific?” Wow! What passes for science these days????!
Do these buffoons seriously think that crawling around on all fours gives anyone the real sensation of being a bovine? The only ways to do that are to either channel Hillary Clinton or have 90 percent of your brain removed.
But I repeat myself ...
Actually, animals do feel pain as acutely as we do. They react differently because an animal in the wild that lays around feeling bad gets eaten. That’s one big problem dealing with prey animals like horses and cattle. Unless you are really experienced by the time you notice that they are sick, it can be too late.
That would be NO!
We just need to raise cows that WANT to be eaten
(Just read The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy)
“OMG.....wonder if we could get money to study what it feels like to be a LIBERAL IDIOT!”
Don’t bother because I felt good when I was in the room when we fired their sorry asses. Oh, you mean them? Who gives a sh&t.
I have heard that sacred cows make the best hamburgers.
Cows are just the larval stage of human feces.
Let’s take this same thing and make it an unborn baby. Then we can undergo an abortion.
