Wayne said:  Did you ever read the message about the two animals.
One was wild and the other was domestic.

The wild one may be killed by predators, may be killed by a hunter,  or 
even one of his own kind. But he has a chance to live.

The other, the domestic ......... is sure to be killed.


The wild one does have a chance to live, although he might starve to death.  
They will all die in the end.  I figure that if we didn't eat meat, there would 
be no reason to let pigs and cattle be born.  At least we give them life and I 
hope most are well cared for.  I realize many probably are raised under lousy 
conditions, but I see many happy cows grazing in green pastures everywhere I 
go.  I can't bear to think about it beyond that....it really bothers me to see 
them in cattle haulers. 

On the subject of pesticides and chemicals, I really see the need, but wish 
they could all be safe for us.  When I was 11, I was eating a peach, which then 
fell open and in the pit was a ball of sqirming worms.  Uncle Mac's corn had a 
big fat worm inside 75% of the husks.  I HATE worms!   I even separate the 
leaves of Brussels sprouts before cooking and have found many tiny worms.   Our 
pecan trees produced only fungus infested nuts last couple years.  We'd have 
nothing much to eat if not for pesticides.
