Earthlings...and other stuff!

Dear reader(s),

Has any of you seen that disturbing documentary called Earthlings? If not, go and watch it now.

This film is about what our stupidly over-populated species is doing to creatures other than humans. The background voice of Joaquin Phoenix (no less!)takes us through those horrors: the images are shocking. In fact, it was so unbearable I cried.

I do not purchase fur, I do not buy cheap leather, I only eat sustainable fish and indeed I do not have meat everyday. When I do I can assure you it is damn good stuff, and this is the reason for this blog entry.

I am not calling for everyone to become vegetarian or vegan, but consider this for a moment: I can find you a multitude of articles from nutrition journals advocating the benefits from a meat and dairy-free diet. Plus, if you are eating flesh from a stressed and highly medicated animal, can it do any good to your health? Just a thought.

If you are still a meat-eater, worry not! Our farmers need us!! Our local shops need us!!

So let's use them before they become a thing of the past. Then all we'll ever eat will be cheaply-imported junk and meat from animals reared in concentration camps. Then I shall be eating made-in-China tofu (made from OGM soya of course)...
