Latest video of where your meat comes from if you purchase meat that is not humanely treated. PLEASE watch. If you eat meat you owe it to the animals to watch. If you can't watch then become a vegan.

If this were a video about dogs and cats everyone would watch and demand justice and change. These baby calves are no different.

Purchase your meat from sources who do not carry out these barbaric acts.

I know better than to look at those links - still traumatized about debeaking!

Gidget, I think they are showing Food Inc at Mountain Film!

Mountain Film? Not sure where that is.

Oh and I finished iWant by Jane if you still want to read it. I am sure we can figure out some way to get it to you.

Are there any local farmers that raise humane, grass fed beef in our area? I'm finding it harder and harder to eat meat, but I don't think I'm ready to become a vegan, yet. I've never been able to stomach veal and I'm not a great chef. I usually grill or roast any meat that I cook.

Talk to For the Health of It and Renee also. And remember, consuming dairy supports the veal industry so if you consume dairy try hard to get it from the best sources and try to have vegan a few nights a week. That helps A LOT. The wonderful brochure I used to leaflet on campuses, "Even If You Eat Meat" shows that there's lots a person can do besides going vegan 100% of the time. I smell change and people are not going to stand for this type of treatment.

Also, search for internet sources for humanely raised meats and dairy. Slankers is one who does a pretty good job. Slanker's Grass-Fed Meats

They are not 100% perfect, but beats the heck out of the standard raised and slaughtered animal. PLUS the benefits of grassfed for the animal as well as the human.

Good luck!!! Thanks for responding to the video.

Not my CHEESE, Gidget.............. I love cheese and it loves me........agh.

 

[Gidget]

I know, I love cheese and it was a huge thing giving it up (I have had some when eating out on rare occasion) Now, I hardly miss it at all. I just don't like the concept of what happens to baby male calves at dairy farms and that image comes to mind when I see cheese. I don't know about the case with locally produced cheeses or goat cheeses - might be a whole different scene going on.

I'd be curious to know what others might know about this. In other words, do all cheeses/dairy support the veal industry? I know that there are veal producers who no longer crate the little guys in, and that's a step in the right direction. However, people complain that due to the fact that the calves can "move" their meat isn't as tender. Boo hoo.

One thing for sure, I can not stomach soy cheese. Gross stuff IMO. Especially if you buy the kind that has NO casein in it. If it has casein in it - then it has dairy - they just don't like to tell you that casein is a milk protein.
