There are so many big issues here and I hope the movement towards awareness and the downhill trend away from our current 'peak BS' (as this guy calls it: http://www.upworthy.com/obamas-speechwriterstand-up-comedian-gives-a-graduation-speech-not-surprisingly-its-badass) will only get stronger and stronger.<br />Oh and as I'm sure Michael (above) will agree, the animal abuse and wasteful slaughter of far more animals than needed to feed the Western (and Eastern!)

Another factor worth mentioning is the immense cost that our industrial food system has on animals. You mentioned Kentucky Fried Chicken for example. This chain (and Tegel, Inghams and other producers) uses industrially produced genetic freaks, who are so top heavy they are in constant pain from lameness for the last week of their lives. All to feed an insatiable demand for more meat. It was not that long ago that chicken was a luxury item, to be eaten as a treat. Now people can eat it every day from places like KFC.Michael Morrishttp://www.enved.ac.nznoreply@blogger.com
