THERE'S A WORLD OF SUFFERING IN EVERY BITE OF MEAT The misery in meat is food for thought. The preferred meal of affluent societies is a proven killer linked to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. it kills people in other ways too. The grain which fattens animals for our dinner tables is oft times "appropriated" from the peoples of Third World countries; it enriches dictators while vast populations starve. Meat production destroys the environmeni. squanders dwindling water reserves. pollu1es our rivers and lakes with toxic animal wastes. and is causing the destruction of rain forests. Greed for super-profits has relegated animals 10 the status of machine parts. Veal calves live ou1 1heir eniire lives in dark wooden craies, unable 10 even 1um around. Egg-laying hens are confined 10 an area smaller 1han 1his page. Factory-farmed animals are so srressed that only a consume diet of drugs keeps them alive until slaughter. Beyond satisfying our addiction. meal has no demonstrable benefi1s. II creaies unending suffering for people. destroys 1he environment and inflic1s horrendous pain on more 1han six billion animals consumed in 1his counrry each year. Only you can do some1hing about the misery in meat Cul ii ou1 or cu1 it down. You ·11 be caking a bite out of misery.
