Re: Bove on 4 verites (4.00 / 4)

I myself havent eaten meat in near enough 20 years, and know quite a few people whos meat consumption is 40 years back. We're all healthy, and happy.

Re: Bove on 4 verites (4.00 / 3)

well I'm not on the holiness side, I'm just of the opinion that the chemicals they put into cows are far more likely to effect me than the chemicals they put into carrots.

Re: Bove on 4 verites (none / 1)

I don't know about that. Some of the chemicals they put in carrots are pretty scary. I try to avoid too much chemical laden meat anyhow: small amounts of organic or thereabouts rather than the glow-in-the-dark stuff.

Re: Bove on 4 verites (none / 1)

I'm not sure I'm right either, but it does rather throw a spoke in the wheels of people who argue that it's dubious morality that leads people to vegetarianism.

For me its now almost 25 years since I eaten meat and I never regreted it. If I look at my friend, those of my friends who are vegetarians seem to be healthier and more energetic than my friends that eat meat.
