I don’t think anybody can be called a leader when they know something and don’t act according to that knowledge. We have known about abuses of animals for a long time, I have. You have too, be honest. The question now is, how do you act on your knowledge. Why did we have to wait on the Humane Society?
Mother Jones writer Stephanie Mincer argues that we should ban beef from all school lunches. Yes and amen. Putting children at risk by giving them the lowest grade beef that is not proven safe is one more illustration of this country’s concern with child well being and the importance of schooling. But we should all stop eating beef.
I have known about abuses for a long time, we all have. Honestly, these videos were sickening, but we did know. We just blocked our consciousness to be able to eat beef. And now I no longer want to disregard what I know and participate in this slaughter.
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the number of pounds that have been recalled. 143 millions pounds of beef. That is a staggering number.
If you haven’t seen the images yet, I am sorry but here they are:
