    Yeah if Food Incs figures are true thats a shame. Me and my folks fall up under that 10% so Im glad. That ? with the Mexican corn is extra ? . BTW, "The Future of Food" is a little more in depth than "Food INC" IMO.

    And to answer our question yes and no. The law is ? and be killed. Buts its worse for sentient beings equipped with the faculty of conscience.

    I don't know if I want to watch that lol, Food Inc threw my mind for a while.

    So because we think we can think and with this thinking ability we think we have we also think we have a conscience, and this is what makes it not moral to eat meat? That's what nature does, there are predators and prey, the web of life. Aren't carnivores on a whole smarter than herbivores in nature? Maybe we are slowly evolving to being strictly meat eaters, and the vegetarians/vegans are like the christians, clinging on for dear life to the old ways or converting "before it's too late"?

    Well, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, true or false, but there are some studies that would disagree with this...

    I haven't been to too many pig farms, but I do know if pigs left to their own will eat anything, but on farms I'm sure it's more regulated.

    Trichinosis, from raw or undercooked pork that has the parasite. It's like that lettuce that was contaminated by e-coli, ? happens sometimes.
