Why eat animals then? Eating meat is a rather inefficient method of converting sunlight into food anyway. In a sustainble farm they are necessary for fertilizer, and to convert low grade food stocks not edible by humans into edible products, as well as to boost protein input if you can't grow the protein rich vegetables, but how about chickens for eggs, or goats or sheep for milk? It is interesting that we (americans at least) eat so much meat, much of it produced in factory farms in truly horrible conditions, yet we blanch at the idea of chopping the head off a chicken ourselves. _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
