Not eating meat means not having to say I'm sorry

Monday, March 19, 2007 12:15 PM EDT

The past three months have brought us a stream of bad news about rising rates of obesity, cancer, and global warming - all linked conclusively to the production and consumption of meat and other animal products.
This week brings good news about the advent of spring, sunshine, flowers and the Great American Meatout. Fashioned after The Great American Smokeout, Meatout provides a superb excuse to turn over a new leaf, kick the meat habit, and get a fresh start with a healthful, nonviolent diet of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes.

It's a diet touted by all major health advocacy organizations and leading health authorities. A diet that means never having to say “I'm sorry” to our family's health record, our planet, or the animals suffering in factory farms and slaughterhouses. A diet reportedly practiced in the Garden of Eden. A diet supported by free information from www.meatout.org or (800) MEATOUT.

" Obesity conclusively linked to meat consumption? People have been eating meat as a dietary staple for centuries. The obesity problem, decades. Do they give cows meat to make them fat? NO they give them CORN and SOY! Want to see America lose weight? Stop selling soda! "

" Cabbage without ham is like cornflakes without milk. Corn bread without chicken, well, that's just downright un-American in my opinion. "

" Yet again, another doomsday soothsayer trying to get humans to stop eating something we're built to eat by saying it's destroying the planet. This "conclusive" link is tenuous at best, and not the bringer of the screaming horrible apocalypse the writer is suggesting is upon us. "
