being vegetarian

[Shoe]

A fairer distribution of food and resources in the world is possible if the food fed to farm animals was used to feed people instead. Much of the food grown in the world goes to feeding livestock.

A lot of this i read i thought was complete tosh... esp this ^^

I mean really are you being serious... i know first hand this is a load of rubbish as i live on a farm. Yes we do keep cows which go off the the slaughter house when they are big and fat.

They get fed on grass, potatos which are classed not to be of a high enough standard for the supermarkets and bread with is out of date. They also get fed a sort of powder which is just vitamins such as us taking a vitamin tablet. So no actually no food is grow especially to feed farm animals at all.

the type of vegetarian i am is called pesco-ovo vegetarian, which means they'll eat fish and chicken. fish mass produce, as do chickens. cows and such only have one calf at a time, or two at most usually. it's a lot harder to replace the cow population and what not compared to fish, which can have a hundred eggs easily at one time.

Just one more thing... you know this type of vegi you are... do you eat pork or do some of them eat pork at all ??

What type of farm do you live on? I take it a small/medium sized farm opposed to an intensive factory farm?

Yes i do live on a small/medium farm although i do know that even intensive factory farms look after the cows(well animals) really well, in most cases better conditions and in a more hygenic way than smaller farms.

Its the fact that it is all put into one thing when actually noone knows all of the facts.
