Chickens – 25 August 2008
“Early in 2007, Consumer Reports tested 525
supermarket chickens from all across the U.S. and found only 17
percent free of both salmonella and campylobacter. Premium brands
labeled “organic” or “raised free of antibiotics” actually harbored
more salmonella than conventional ones. Most of the bacteria were
resistant to at least one type of antibiotic, making food poisoning
from eating poultry that much harder to treat. Some samples showed
resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics.”

In my opinion, people who eat animal-derived products are gambling
with their health, as well as showing their lack of compassion for the
suffering of those animals. And let’s not forget the huge amount of
manure contamination ending up in our waterways and in the fields where
vegetables are grown, the destruction of the environment, and pollution
of the air. There is only one solution to these problems that makes
sense: Go vegan!

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
