chickens have feelings too

Have you seen Food, Inc? All I can say is wow! I had always heard of the evil of the large components of the food supply, but wow. I must leave it at that due to the laws mentioned in the movie that will rip your soul out if you say bad things about the beef industry in particular. Ok, so maybe not your soul, but definitely would prevent the solar panels from ever becoming a reality. We're definitely looking into more local foods and perhaps less meat (which hasn't been part of our daily lives in awhile).

Ok, here's a taste of information... Did you know the deadly e-coli (remember the Jack in the Box deaths in the 90's and the more recent vegetable scares?) was actually created by feeding cows corn? Apparently it a product of a naturally accruing bacteria and the chemistry of corn being churned by a cow.

In college my friend Dax had a theory that cancer is caused by the bad karma built up in animals. We as humans raise animals for slaughter in the most horrible conditions if you're the animal but the best conditions if you are the bottom line. As the animals lead their horrible life they store the negativity. We then slaughter the animal with no regard to his soul which produces the negative karma. Then the consumer eats the negativity and bad karma and eventually gets cancer. I don't know that Dax's theory can be explained using science, but did you know that meat goes through an ammonia bath before reaching your mouth?
