The dead stuff

Friday 25th February 2011
Looking at the ‘bigger picture’, most of us respect the beauty of the natural environment and don’t want to see it go down the tube. All people who are environmentalists are purposely making themselves more aware, sometimes to their own considerable inconvenience. Bit for vegans it’s even harder to bring that same sensitivity to light, concerning the food we eat ... avoiding the dead stuff
‘Food’ represents so many things not the least of which is the taste-bud-experience involving addictive taste sensations. Animal products are most often quite addictive. The ‘body’ demands them and we’re not used to denying ourselves what we want. So we find arguments (any old arguments will do) to give-in to the demand. Translate that to the food market and if it’s good to eat it’s well-sellable, and if it’s from an animal it will be well dead.
