Progress is on the march. Thanks HSUS! Even McDonald's can't ignore the horrors of meat production forever.

In nature, there have never been 7 billion predators; predators must always have a lower population than their prey. In nature, the prey are made stronger, faster, and smarter through survival of the fittest. In nature, all the predators haven't already been killed by humans.

In truth, humans have killed off most wild animals and fish everywhere; and replaced them with ranches, farms, factories, and highways. There isn't much of an ecosystem left anywhere, except tiny islands of protected wilderness areas.

There is nothing natural left about our meat factories, farming practices, or appetites. The Cure Farm should be praised for their efforts to get back to the old ways. However, the old ways can only sustain the old population of below 1 billion people.

To reach sustainability, we must ask ourselves - what if everyone acted in this way? Truly, you would have to agree that we can't be killing 700 Billion animals per year (the average U.S. carnivore kills 100 animals/year). Fine, our fossil fuel energy and transportation systems aren't sustainable yet either. That doesn't mean we shouldn't TRY.

Going (more) vegetarian, (more) local, and (more) organic, and growing (more of) your own food are all good things... most of which we can begin today for very little cost, which most people could afford and even save money on.

It's just an editorial page. How is this opinion "forced" on you?

"There was no damage to the restaurant."
... and the cruelty of force feeding geese and killing them for foie gras goes on...

Always the best! Hugs and Veggie Love
