Cowspiracy*

  1. New Netflix documentary, provided a very controversial argument for not eating meat.

    I am not a vegetarian, and although I see where ecologically the impact is huge, I feel like our population expansion trumps giving up meet.

    The wife and I have been debating. Population control vs. Everyone becoming a vegetarian: which is a more achievable solution, or is it a hybrid of both???
     
  2. Probably a hybrid.
    Definitely a documentary everyone needs to watch. Especially California with the drought issue.
     
  3. no matter if you eat meat or plants you are killing something ( taking their life force) in order for you to live . life lives on life
     
  4. for some reason i haven't eaten meat in the 7 days since i saw this documentary. i don't wanna go vegan right now because i like possibly eating cheese or drinking milk but i don't eat meat anymore. it's sort of difficult because i start wondering why i'm not eating meat but for some reason that documentary turned me off from meat.....
     
  5. Not that I feel that the morality of eating plants is something needing to be argued, but if you compost, at least you are ensuring that the remnants of that life force are recycled back into the food web, thus breeding new life. Again just my .02
    From what I gather about cowspiracy, its more about the harms of factory farming than morality of eating cows.
     
  6. "80% of the amazon is gone"Since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (230,000 sq mi) of the Amazon rainforest
    have been destroyed. In 2012, the Amazon was approximately 5.4 million
    square kilometres, which is only 87% of the Amazon's original state -wikipedia


    They pulled his funding because he made all this shit up. Plus he's probably a PETAphile.


    The antarctic ice is melting and there's plenty of methane there to kill us all. This guy is an aspie and this is a vanity project.
     
  7. what you write about reminds me how our urine re energizes the earth by spiraling out in the stream and creating an energy vortex. our own way to send our waste off in an energetic fashion onto the mother earth's floor
     
  8. If u liked Cowspiracy, watch Earthlings. But be prepared to go vegan.
     
  9. hahahaha wtf i always saw "cowspiracy" spray painted on ramps at the skatepark but always figured some geeked out crackhead was writing it
     
  10. research your family history before considering to go vegan. if your ancestors ate meat and passed on the genes then you need to eat it too. if your ancestors ate veggies / plants then.........
     
  11. My ancestors probably ate tons of meat along with their vodka,potatoes and sauerkraut. What does that have to do with me? Id say do your research before telling others they "need" to do anything. I don't know what source told you such a silly thing but there aren't so many 6+ generation vegetarians/vegans(maybe in India) to base that information on. Sounds like more "you just DO need meat so don't take your chances" propaganda to me. Last I checked genes were also a predisposition to certain things deal than a concrete "you're stuck with it".

    how your body converts energy is the important factor and yes you are tremendously effected by what ( your ) people ate. I was vegan for four years and did my research and am not vegan now... it is a worthwhile cause but will place gradual health problems on your body by lacking the protein you need and only get from a meat source. you can pretend your plant/grain protein will suffice but nothing will replace meat save for future sea weed concoctions but we are not there yet.


    personally I have found it way more important to feel the gratitude for meals no matter if meat or not as you are taking the life of something else to fortify your own life. does not matter if it is meat or not the process is the same. give thanks to/for the life force you receive from what you eat
