Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Why vegans were right all along Famine can only be avoided if the rich give up meat, fish and dairy George Monbiot Tuesday December 24, 2002 The Guardian The Christians stole the winter solstice from the pagans, and capitalism stole it from the Christians. But one feature of the celebrations has remained unchanged: the consumption of vast quantities of meat. The practice used to make sense. Livestock slaughtered in the autumn, before the grass ran out, would be about to decay, and fat-starved people would have to survive a further three months. Today we face the opposite problem: we spend the next three months trying to work it off. http://www.guardian.co.uk/famine/story/0,12128,865087,00.html __________ [...there'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, just you wait and see... ---Vera Lynn] __________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
