Duped again














We have been down this road before. It's deja vu all over again. The latest "news" suggests that not just red, but ALL meat is bad for you. Bad as it applies to:

Longevity
Health
Vitality
Ethics
Morals

We have once again been collectively duped by the meat lobby and Madison Avenue. They won a billion dollar round and have been selling us lies for over a century. They won. They are rich and famous. We are the losers. We have heart disease, obesity and empty pockets.

Here are some examples of what they think of us:
Go meat.
Singing pigs.
Le big mac.
Burger King.
How meat stays looking fresh at Safeway.
The reason all Wal-Marts smell bad.
They shoot horses, too.
Have you ever wondered what a 'nugget' is?

The power of
suggestion is a powerful thing. Almost child's play when the product is enriching people, tastes good and in some cases is fast and cheap.

The longer we stay
in denial, the more money they bank and the harder it becomes for us to enact radical paradigm change. I had a wise friend tell me once that the only people who lobby for the benefits of eating meat are the ones selling it.

Please don't sell yourself short. Start today. Taper down, back off, re-assess. You could even go, ahem, cold turkey.

Somebody PLEASE give me some ammo. Fire a opening salvo. Start the fire fight. Try to sell me something positive about eating animals.

Duped again.
