Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Vegan Animal Rights Environmental Feminist World Hunger Activism Campaign is really very simple. Get the average person to stop eating animals and animal products and you can produce a world in which vast numbers of animals are no longer created to satsify the demand for animal centered diets. You can help to save the environment, help people to expand their consciousness about oppression as they end their oppression of animals for food they may end their oppressions of one another and help to create a world in which men and women are equals and food is grown for people not for so called-food animals. You can even cut the funding to petroleum exporting state sponsors of terror by eliminating high energy requiring animal centered diets. By doing so you can stop those who seek to reverse the progress earth has made in attaining women's rights as it is those same petroleum exporting state sponsors of terror who seek to see women confined to their homes as they were under the Taliban, with so-called " morality police " in the streets whipping any unescorted women they found outside their homes. You can emulate PETA's alleged takeover of an old anti-vivisection group by joining environmental and other groups and turning them into vegan advocacy organizations. http://coolcities.us/ is the url for Cool Cities Across America All over America, communities are taking action to help solve global warming. From hybrid vehicle fleets in Charlotte, to green buildings in Austin, and homes powered with renewable energy in Seattle, local governments are moving forward with innovative energy solutions that curb global warming, save taxpayer dollars, and create healthier cities. At a time when the federal government is failing to act, these local leaders are moving America toward a safer and more secure future. So what is a Cool City? These are cities that have made a commitment to stopping global warming by signing the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. The Cool Cities campaign helps cities turn their commitments into action by pushing for smart energy solutions. To find out whether you live in a Cool City, click on your state or search by your city. To get involved with a Cool Cities campaign in your city, network with citizens taking action nationwide, and gain access to campaign resources you can click on the following url: http://www.coolcities.us/user/register I hope that everyone who can will get involved with that campaign. Imagine a world in which Cool Cities pledged not to buy animal products with their city budgets. Imagine a world in which Cool Cities taught their citizens, including their school children how to become vegans and why they should become vegans and stopped feeding animal products to their citizens including their school children. You can help to make that happen if you get involved and talk to and write and call your local city and town and village officials. Imagine the impact vegans and animal rights people could have if they packed every one of the upcoming live earth parties and turned them into discussion groups on how veganism can help to stop global warming and more. http://www.joinliveearth.org/page/s/sierrahouseparty Did you know that to get the amount of energy your body will receive from a can of corn requires about 77 calories of energy input. To get the same amount of energy for your body from steak would require about 21,000 calories of energy input. Every penny you put into the hands of certain petroleum exporting countries whose names are known to everyone puts more arms, including weapons of mass destruction they seek to build, buy, or steal, in the hands of those nations and the terrorist gangs they support whose members seek to destroy America, Israel, and the rest of the civilized world. You can fight back against terrorism and the state sponsors of terrorism that gain their revenues from exporting petroleum by eating directly rather than through animals. Frances Moore Lappe's classic 1970s era book: DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET told us all that it takes on average about 8 to 10 pounds of protein input fed to animals to get one pound of animal protein on the plate. If you are talking about steak it takes 21 pounds of protein fed to animals to get 1 pound of steak protein on the plate. 86% of corn, oats and barley, 90% of non-exported soybeans grown in America have for decades been fed to animals rather than grown for and fed to human beings. Whether you support the struggle against world hunger or the struggle against petroleum exporting state sponsors of terrorism eating low on the food chain helps to make it possible to feed human beings directly and helps take money out of the hands of petroleum exporting state sponsors of terror. Vast numbers of so called " food animals " are raised to satsify demand for animals as food. All of those so-called " food animals " compete with humans for land, food, water and oxygen. The very air we breathe is at stake, as is our planet and all of the life on it. So called " food animals " all produce carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and other deadly greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and the Greenhouse Effect. The United Nations FAO, Food and Agriculture Organization's study on this subject makes the message clear. " Meat Contributes to Climate Change, UN Study Confirms by Megan Tady Dec. 7, 2006 – The typical American diet adds significantly to pollution, water scarcity, land degradation and climate change, according to a United Nations report released last week. Written by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),the report is the latest research linking meat-eating with environmental destruction. According to the FAO, the arm of the UN that works on worldwide hunger-defeating initiatives, animal farming presents a " major threat to the environment " with such " deep and wide- ranging " impacts that it should rank as a leading focus for environmental policy. The report calls the livestock sector a " major player " in affecting climate change through greenhouse-gas production. The FAO found that the ranching and slaughter of cows and other animals generates an estimated 18 percent of total human-induced greenhouse-gas emissions globally. Greenhouse gases – such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide – are linked to global warming. Livestock emit methane and other greenhouse gasses through excrement and belching. The FAO estimates that cow manure and flatulence generate 30 to 40 percent of total methane emissions from human- influenced activities. As demand for meat grows, the report explains, so does the need for pasture and cropland, making deforestation an additional concern; currently, according to the report, the livestock sector occupies 30 percent of ice-free land on the planet. Extensive grazing also takes a toll on arable land. The livestock sector also contributes to water depletion; currently, the livestock sector accounts for 8 percent of human water use globally. Animal wastes, antibiotics and hormones, as well as chemicals from tanneries and pesticides from feed crops, also contaminate water supplies. Henning Steinfeld, an author of the report, said in a press statement that " urgent action is required to remedy the situation. " While the report gives a global picture of meat production, sustainable-food advocates say the US is leading the world in harmful meat-eating habits and industry practices. From 2000 to 2002, consumers in the United States ate on average approximately 38.5 million tons of meat per year, second only to China, according to the FAO analysis. In those same years, the United Kingdom consumed nearly 5 million tons of meat each year, Brazil nearly 15.5 million tons and Uganda 308,647 tons. North America had one of the highest methane emissions from livestock manure management in the world in 2004, according to the report. Methane is more readily produced when manure is managed in a liquid form, such as in holding tanks or lagoons commonly used in North America. Additionally, the US is a leader in CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels in the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer used to grow food for livestock.... Dawn Moncrief, director of ... a national food-education organization, said that not only are US consumers harming the environment through their appetite for meat, but American food choices are being exported to other countries. " [The US sets] the example, which a lot of the world is trying to follow, " Moncrief told TNS. " [Meat consumption is] partly being exported by our corporate interests who are pushing it as a lifestyle because they're making money in it. " Often serving as a status symbol, meat is becoming a staple in diets of countries that, prior to industrialization and Western cultural influence, ate far fewer animal products. According to FAO, world meat production is expected to double by 2050. In March 2006, the Department of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago released a study that compared the differences in greenhouse-gas emissions caused by various plant- and meat-based diets. Researchers found that the difference between a red-meat diet and a vegan diet – in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions – equaled the difference between driving a sedan and driving a sport-utility vehicle. " These results clearly demonstrate the primary effect of one's dietary choices on one's planetary footprint, an effect comparable in magnitude to the car one chooses to drive, " the report concluded. Despite such alarming findings, the FAO report stopped short of suggesting more people adopt plant-based diets; instead it advocated for technological solutions and changes in farming policies. " It's not like [the UN is] going to advocate a vegan diet, but they could say, 'A plant-based diet would get you [closer to sustainability], " Moncreif said. Among the remedies, the UN suggested investing technology that already exists, including soil-conservation methods, feeding methods that reduce livestock's gas emissions, and improved irrigation and manure management systems. Adopting these changes " with a sense of urgency, " wrote the FAO, can " make a very significant contribution to reducing and reversing environmental damage. " The report also noted the economic importance of the livestock sector to global populations; work with livestock contributes 40 percent of global agriculture Gross Domestic Product and employs 1.3 billion people worldwide. But Moncrief said simply altering agriculture practices without changing consumers' food consciousness and habits will not lead to true sustainability, in terms of either environmental health or feeding the growing population. " They talk about the problems, but then they refuse to advocate a reduction of meat as part of the solution, " Moncrief said. " We just think we're going to be able to outsmart our way out of this. " Moncrief said educating consumers about their food choices is essential. " We need to get organizations who are working on food-policy issues, like the UN and the USDA, to at least come out and say, 'Here are the health benefits, here are the environmental benefits' " to reducing meat consumption, Moncrief said. " If we could get these governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to come out and say it, that would be a good first step. " Gidon Eshel, assistant professor of physical oceanography and climate and co-author of the University of Chicago report, echoed Moncrief's concern. Eshel told TNS: " It is probably not a bad idea to suggest unambiguously that if more people used less animal products in their diet than they do today, we [would] be able to sustain a larger number of people on earth for an indefinite period of time, or afford those who are here a better lifestyle. " Local Solutions to Global Environmental Threats Tuesday July 10 at 7 pm A note from me regarding the posts below from Walter Clarke essexsierra_pr essexsierra_pr AT verizon.net and from Walter Goldenbaum goldenb1 goldenb1 AT optonline.net At events I have gone to of the group below Snacks and refreshments were included free. And the events were FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC. On one occasion that I can recall the group went out to eat after the event. The restaurant they chose was one that I could obtain totally vegetarian (vegan) food at. I happen to be on a totally vegetarian diet, eating no animal products myself. I believe that an individual answer to environmental threats requires that everyone go on and stay on a totally vegetarian diet. How do you feel about that?

" now for a moment from history The New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) " On March 20, 1989, Forbes reported: PETA aggressively runs slates of its own people in board elections of rival rights groups. Latest is the successful 1987 " takeover " of the Boston-based New England Anti-Vivisection Society (fund balance, $8 million). The century-old group officially still operates independently, but in reality PETA vegans and allies now control the Society and its spending. " " An April 10, 1987 Boston Globe article explained how PETA did it: The wife of Gary Francione, a PETA executive and a Pennsylvania attorney, walked into the Anti-Vivisection Society's Boston headquarters a few months ago and purchased 300 voting memberships for $3000 in cash. A surge of several hundred applications for voting memberships arrived at the headquarters in bulk March 31. PETA set up the Action Campaign Fund to subsidize or pay full air fare to Boston for an unspecified number of voting activists. And the Boston Herald wrote on April 30, 1987 that Ingrid Newkirk: … sought to fill four open board of directors' seats and four officer's positions with a slate of PETA members and friends. Some locals claimed the election was " stacked " by PETA, who bankrolled the busing of new members to the Boston election meeting from New York, Washington, New Jersey, and New Mexico. Along with PETA founders Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco, PETA's candidates for NEAVS board membership included Neal Barnard himself. Barnard even co-signed letters with Newkirk and Pacheco, urging NEAVS members to vote for the PETA slate. In 1987, Barnard was elected to NEAVS' board. He and Newkirk remained there for ten years. " Using an animal centered diet requires vast amounts of food grown as feed for animals, of water, or energy, or land, or petroleum based pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc. By contrast a vegan, totally vegetarian diet requires far less of all of the above. Will vegans and other vegetarians join with those who want to see petroleum exporting state sponsors of terror lose the revenues they get from the energy used to produce animal centered diets, and with others who support animal rights, the environment, the struggle against world hunger, etc. emulate PETA's alleged tactics describe above by moving to take over environmental and other groups and go beyond those alleged tactics by turning those environmental and other groups into vegetarian and vegan advocacy groups? While I do not agree with everything PETA has ever done I strongly support the PETA call for former Vice President Gore to become a vegan. It would not only be an enormous boost to Al Gore's credibility on Global Warming if he started to walk the talk, it would probably add years to his life as it took inches off his waistline and pounds off his frame. " March 8, 2007 at 8:22 pm · Filed under News, Global Warming, Greenhouse Gases, Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth, Methane, Cows, Channel 4, PETA This is not " pick on Al Gore week " for me…I swear, but the article I found today combined some of my favorite topics: Al Gore, extremism, and cow flatulence! Apparently PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has sent correspondence to the former Vice President imploring him to " go veggie " ! The global warming tie-in? Well, at the heart of the argument is that raising cattle for human consumption produces " more greenhouse gases than all of the cars and trucks in the world combined. " This is actual fact, people, like it or not. PETA also maintains that Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth " has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions. " Also in the letter to Gore, Peta asserted that " Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius. " That wouldn't make Toyota very happy. So, if greenhouse gases are where it's at, and we know it is for Mr. Gore, he might take a bit of advice from our friends at PETA and have a veggie burger next time he cooks up a meal in that energy- hogging mansion he resides in. " SOURCE FOR ITEM EXCERPTED FROM IMMEDIATELY ABOVE: http://www.discussglobalwarming.com/blog/category/peta/ Al Gore ignores eating meat global warming Glenn Beck on how Al gore is a hypocrite I used to be very impressed by Al Gore. I share his views on the Greenhouse Effect but I do not believe that he goes far enough. Animals, like humans, consume oxygen and produce Greenhouse Gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc. Read the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization FAO report on livestock's footprint and the Greenhouse Effect. Al Gore should, as PETA, a group I differ with on many issues, but not this one: should become a vegan, a total vegetarian, eating no animal products. If Al Gore did that he would really be walking the talk. Beyond this horrid flaw of omission, regarding veganism, total vegetarianism, Al Gore's film " AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH " is flawed in another way. Gore says in the film that there are other things to do in addition to fighting terrorism. Most, not all, but most, terrorism is funded by some member states of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC. The more petroleum based products you use, whether for your car, or for your diet, the more you contribute to the funding of terrorism. It is not only the consumption of the dope sold by terrorists which contributes to terrorism. And yes, you should stop using dope if you are using it to help fight terrorism, and to help your mind and body and the rest of the universe for that matter. Hedonism is not good for you or for any living being. To get a pound of steak protein on your plate 21 pounds of feed grain protein: corn, oats, barley, soy, wheat, etc. etc. etc. are used to fatten that castrated bull called a steer that you eat. On average it takes about 8 to 10 pounds of feed protein fed to so called food animals to get 1 pound of animal protein on your plate. Lots of that is very high energy intensive production using lots of petroleum based fertilizers, pesticides,herbicides, etc. Not to mention vast quantities of water used by the animals and used to irrigate the crops fed to animals. The USA feeds almost all of the the soybeans corn oats and barley it grows to animals rather than to hungry people. Food animals are competitors with humans for oxygen, water, land, energy, and life itself. 40% of the world's oxygen is produced by the tiny plant plankton called phytoplantkon in the oceans. These phytoplantkton live with krill, a fish plankton,in a very fragile ecosystem. These days krill are being used as animal feed and pet food. As the krill vanish so will the phytoplankton that produce 40% of earth's oxygen. The phytoplankton are also jeapordized by increased solar ultraviolet radiation breaking through the holes in the ozone layer above the poles. It is estimated that there will be no more fish in the seas by the middle of this century c.e. Those who want to save energy should consider this, it takes about 77 calories of energy input to get the food energy a CAN of corn will give you. That same amount of food energy from steak would require 21,000 calories of energy input. If anyone knows how to reach Al Gore, or any other enviornmentally concerned people, be they Presidential candidates, or not, please reach out to them about how important it is to stop eating animals and animal products if they really want to to consistent about being advocates for our environment and the survival of life on our fragile small planet. In fact Frances Moore Lappe's 1970s book, DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET, ought to be required reading for every environmentalist and Presidential candidate. If you can get hold of it, or other pro- vegetarian material send it to every enviornmentalist and Presidential candidate you can think of, from Al Gore on down or up as the case may be. Please help to bring these truths to Al Gore and others who have so far refused to come to terms with them by taking action and becoming vegans. Imagine the impact vegans and animal rights people could have if they packed every one of the upcoming live earth parties and turned them into discussion groups on how veganism can help to stop global warming and more. http://www.joinliveearth.org/page/s/sierrahouseparty Welcome to the registration site for Live Earth House Parties for Sierra Club members!

Thank you for supporting Live Earth and for all that you do for our environment http://www.joinliveearth.org/page/s/sierrahouseparty http://www.jewishveg.com/ item directly below from url directy above " Why is it that many Jewish religious leaders advocate vegetarianism, including Chief Rabbi of Britain Jonathan Sacks, late Chief Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Goren, and the first Chief Rabbi of pre- state Israel Abraham Kook? Why is it that the former Chief Rabbi of Ireland David Rosen considers " the consumption of meat as halachically unacceptable " ? The Torah is full of commandments demanding humane treatment of animals, yet the modern factory farms that produce over 90% of the animal products we consume today raise their animals in unconscionable conditions of abject misery. The Torah reflects great concern for the land, yet as the primary cause of water pollution, water use, topsoil erosion, destruction of the world's rainforest, and other environmental harms, animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the planet. Jewish teachings emphasize the grave importance of protecting human health, yet the consumption of animal products in the United States is responsible for numerous diseases including heart disease, America's number one killer. Judaism places great concern on providing for the poor and the hungry, yet while 800 million people do not have enough food to sustain themselves, our carnivorous diets are at least ten times as wasteful of food resources as a vegetarian one. Please read and learn about the growing Jewish vegetarian movement, and think about how Jewish teachings relate to decisions we make everyday as we sit down to eat. As Rabbi Isaac ha-Levi Herzog said, " Jews will move increasingly to vegetarianism out of their own deepening knowledge of what their tradition commands... A whole galaxy of central rabbinic and spiritual leaders...has been affirming vegetarianism as the ultimate meaning of Jewish moral teaching.

I am also of course promoting the veggie way of life to others who are not yet veggies. One key group to promote the veggie way of life to is science fiction fans. Why science fiction fans? Well because some science fiction fans actually become science fiction writers. Why science fiction writers then? Well because the way of life that we take for granted here in the so-called " first world " , of industrialized nations is a way of life that not so long ago was considered to be science fiction. It was a science fiction writer: Arthur C. Clarke, who came up with the idea of communications satellites as a science fiction idea. Well they are fiction no more. Nor are communications devices that do not require wires. Remember the " communicators " on StarTrek? Chances are you have a cell phone in your pocket or in your car, or if you don't you know more than one person who does. Once again, fiction no more. Fact. The science fiction fan of today is the science fiction writer of tomorrow. The science fiction story or idea of today is the fact of tomorrow, just as yesterday's science fiction stories and ideas are the facts of today. Another place I am helping to promote the veggie way of life is in the Jewish community. I happen to be Jewish and would want nothing but the best way of life there is for my fellow Jews. Eating animals is not only not good for the animals who are murdered for food, it is not good for the humans who eat them. Being veggie is also very much in the interests of the Jewish community around the world. Producing a pound of steak " protein " on the plate requires up to 21 pounds of so-called " feed " protein from things like the 42% of American wheat production, the 86% of American corn, oats and barley production, the 90% of non-exported soybean production, that goes into the creation of that pound of steak " protein " on the plate of the American animal eater. Producing all of that so-called " feed " requires a lot of energy. More energy is used as petro-chemical based fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc. as well as in the transportation of that so-called " feed " , and of the animals themselves, in the disposal of their wastes, in the movement of water to irrigate those crops and to " water " those animals. Many of the energy sources involved are nations around the world that supply arms to terrorists who slaughter Jews in Israel and around the world, as well as other innocents, such as those who were slaughtered on September 11th. 2001. So I am promoting Jewish singles events at veggie establishments to bring the fact of being able to have a veggie meal as a reality to my fellow Jews. I do so periodically at Veggie Heaven, a Kosher Vegan Chinese Restaurant with several locations here in New Jersey. I hope that similar restaurants exist elsewhere that may serve as event locations. Failing that I hope that vegan house parties can be arranged everywhere. If you are Jewish yourself I hope that you will do the same wherever you may be. If you are able to come to some of these events I hope that you will do so. If you live to far away to get to them by all means create them. Create them for your fellow Jews if you are Jewish. Create them for your fellow veggies if you are veggie. Create them for science fiction fans if you want to see science fiction fans become veggie and science fiction ideas created by veggie science fiction writers, all of whom start off as science fiction fans creating the new facts of life on earth as ones which will make it possible for a veggie world to in fact come into being.

Our Jewish singles groups are designed to increase the Jewish population by bringing single Jews together in the hope that marriages, and children who will be raised as Jews ,will result from bringing single Jews together. We cannot ignore the real threat to Jewish survival posed by intermarriage, which usually results in the children of such marriages being raised as non-Jews. Another real threat to Jewish survival in these times is the fact that in these times for one reason or another some people are no longer " straight " . Any Jew who is no longer " straight " is of course much less likely to marry a Jew of the opposite gender and to have children with that person. We need every single Jew who can do so to marry another single Jew and to have children as a result of those marriages who will be raised as Jews. It is with great joy that we can report that there are resources available to deal with the situation some Jews who are no longer " straight " find themselves in. One such resource is http://jonahweb.org/ " JONAH is a non-profit international organization dedicated to educating the world-wide Jewish community about the prevention, intervention, and healing of the underlying issues ....If you are confused or know someone who is and desire help, please contact us for resources and professional confidential assistance. click on http://www.jonahweb.org/cms/e/index.php?option=com_contact & Itemid=3 JONAH info info AT jonahweb.org P.O.

This club is not a New Jersey singles group per se, and is open to anyone over 21, regardless of background or marital status, nonetheless, love is a good thing. In the parts of New Jersey where the science fiction clubs we know of operate there is also a very high percentage of Jewish residents. Many science fiction fans and science fiction writers and even science fiction stars, like Leonard Nimoy, (Mr. Spock), of Star Trek, and William Shatner (Captain Kirk), of Star Trek, also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans I know are single men, and many of them, at least in places like New Jersey, are Jewish. Many science fiction fans in New Jersey also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans are male. For the single Jewish woman in New Jersey joining a science fiction group may be the ideal way to find her ideal man. Unlike most singles events, which tend to be attended by more women than men,most science fiction events are attended by more men than women.

You can read more about topics and people in the news such as Jimmy Carter and James Baker and Coca Cola etc. by doing searches in the message archives of including those listed below.

However, we are distressed that programs like Washington Journal on c-span seem to provide a forum for anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in general who seem to not only call into that t.v. show, but get through, and get on the air, where they are seldom interupted or cut off by the show's moderators. We feel that a 2 minute delay could enable the show's moderators to screen out the anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish people, however no such 2 minute delay seems to be in place. Moreover the moderators of that show and others do not seem to be of a mind to cut off the anti- Semites and other enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in general who regularly call into that show and others on c-span. We have therefore created this in the hopes that members of the group will become regular viewers of c-span and will call in regularly to Washington Journal and other c-span call in t.v. shows, to support Israel and the Jewish people and to counter the anti-Semites and other enemies of Israel and the Jewish people whose calls are regularly aired on c-span. We also hope that members of our will contact their U.S. Senators and members of Congress and President Bush at http://www.whitehouse.gov to see what can be done about the situation at c-span.

There are many avenues for Jewish activism. Support of Israel, Support of the Jewish people, Opposition to anti-Semitism, to name a few. We believe that it is vital for Jewish survival that single Jews meet other single Jews, marry one another, and raise their children as Jews. Because there is a hole in our calendar from Friday night to Saturday night during which many single Jews go to non-Jewish singles events, meet non-Jews, marry non-Jews, and have children from those marriages who are not raised as Jews, the Jewish people faces a very severe problem. We urge everyone who reads this to contact his or her Rabbi and demand that his or her Rabbi hold regular Jewish singles Onegs on Friday nights. We feel that it is vitally important that single Jews go to Jewish singles events and meet other Jewish singles at those events. If you know anyone who happens to be Jewish who is hosting a singles event please ask him or her to consider hosting events just for Jewish singles. We also offer the opportunity at our on line Jewish singles groups to post your Jewish singles introductions and to respond to other Jewish singles introductions. Please do so regularly. Please state that you are Jewish, single and over 21 in your introductions at our on line Jewish singles groups.
