MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE:

Sean Gifford of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and an unidentified man in a cow-suit had planned a peaceful protest at the gates of the Grammar School to let pupils know about the claimed hazards in milk.

But they had to be rescued by two female police officers when the teenage pupils launched a violent protest of their own.

About 100 children, shouting "milk for the masses" and carrying banners, surrounded Mr Gifford and his "cow" partner and drenched them both in milk for about ten minutes. The police eventually intervened and escorted the PETA members back to their car.

No, and thank God it isn't, because the powers-that-be have NO IDEA, biochemically speaking, what "health food" actually is -- they're mostly brainwashed vegetarian/lowfat/tofu worshippers and will never concede that naturally raised meat and milk are among the best foods a human being can eat. They are equally close-minded to the research showing that a high-carb diet (which all vegetarian diets necessarily are) is distinctly bad for a significant % of the population. Hence, the "mandatory" diet they would prescribe, would be very unhealthful for a lot of people.

Very well put.

Not true. Cows (especially bulls) can get arthritis in their hind quarters if their diet doesn't have enough nutrients in it... The other reason farm animals can get arthritis is that most are not fed a wild diet, they are fed grains almost exclusively...

I am sure you're right about this, however, it's also true that wild animals do get arthritis in their old age, despite a wild diet; apparently injuries can be the preciptating factor. There are also infectious triggers for arthritis (eg, certain venereal diseases). So, although the Iceman's grain-based, omega-6 biased, inflammatory-promoting diet MIGHT have been the cause of his arthritis, it's not certain.

Don't put words in my mouth. I don't want government telling us what to eat drink or smoke either. All I did was say some company CEO's, etc...are GREEDY. Apparently you don't like my opinion. Fine...but I stand by it. I don't see how you can possibly think that some CEO's are NEVER greedy. I
