You know... I have to say.. I'm not a vegetarian, and I do eat meat, but I also ONLY buy organic meat and organic eggs (free range)
You may think it's silly, but I'm the kind of person that when 'read' some facts about things, those facts will echo in my brain and I will no longer be able to ignore them…
Example: last semester I took a class called corporate ID, part of that class was to take
A non-profit organization and give it a new look, layout, logo etc
I chose a non-profit organization that saves farm animals from mills, and raises them in an open farm instead. At first I though: “wow, look at those people”
But the more I got into reading what the company was about, and saw the footages from the mills, and read about the abuse the go through since day 1 in their lives, I realized how horrible and inhumane the farm-animals mills are. So right then and there, I got so disgusted by the corporate farms: I just stopped buying any products from places like that. You know what I mean?
I’m not a ‘tree hugger’ and I’m not a “hippie” but animals have special place in my heart because really, it’s not their fault that we humans- SUCK and treat this world and anything in it with an idiotic attitude…
My mom is French, and I come from a house where ‘goose pate’ is something that is as common in the house as milk in the fridge, and I *LOOOOVE* goose pate.
One day 6 years ago, I watched a show in National Geographic channel about how they make it,
And that’s it,- STOP : I can’t eat it anymore. I really can’t!
See what I mean? I’m silly like that. Once I see how they make something, and it is horrible: I can’t do it anymore. (and every year my mom makes this awesome pate…. DAMMIT)
Now…. With that being said: my choice to buy organic eggs and organic free range meat- is my *personal* choice at home. I do out and eat a good ‘fillet mignon’ at a restaurant, and I of course, will eat other products that are not *organic* at other places, just not at my home…
This whole post may sound silly to you, but that’s my personal choice based on the horrible things I’ve seen – from my work…
My point?
Oh yeah, I love eggs too :Spin:
