Gerry Mac: All Comments

  1. .A vegetarian puritanism based on the idea that eating meat is morally wrong whatever the conditions whereby that food is processed is in fact the real driving force in the debate.Women are reaching puberty earlier for a host of enviromental reasons and scientific evidence points to no one cause.The fundementalist ideology behind militant animal rights and vegetarianism means that even where animals reared in open pastures and fed with hay and other organic foodstuffs are used,this is seen as just as bad because at the end of the day the animal is a food source for humans .A countryside devoid of lifestock,a sort of open air leisure park for urban vegetarians is the ultimate goal of this warped thinking.Science points to meat eating and a mixed diet as the major driving force behind the evolution of complexity of the human brain.Vegetarians hate to be proven wrong but moderate meat eating is healthy and no respectable scientist would suggest that total vegetarianism is neccessarly the most healthy lifestyle choice.
