bacon isnot cool..dont believe me? go buy some raw pork & a can of coke,put the pork in a shallow bowl,pour the coke on ,return in 2 hrs & observe the pork closely,you will see tiny parasitic worms have risen from within the pork

everything you eat has parasites.....

lol uhh no... no it doesn't bro.

IMO eating another animal when there are 1000 different things to eat, closer and easier to grow/get to etc is plain wrong. If you people had too kill a cow, slaughter it to make steaks... half of you would stop eating beef dead cold. Your mommy buys you McDonald's so you never have to see an semi-intelligent animal being slaughtered to be eaten. IMO it is barbaric and unhealthy.

I stopped eating meat. No more heartburn, headaches, leg cramps, food poisoning etc etc etc. To each his own.

Peace

Would you ever open your refrigerator, pull out 16 plates of pasta, toss 15 in the trash, and then eat just one plate of food? How about leveling 55 square feet of rain forest for a single meal or dumping 2,400 gallons of water down the drain? Of course you wouldn't. But if you're eating chickens, fish, turkeys, pigs, cows, milk, or eggs, that's what you're doing—wasting resources and destroying our environment.

A recent United Nations report concluded that a global shift toward a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change. And the U.N. is not alone in its analysis. Researchers at the University of Chicago concluded that switching from a standard American diet to a vegan diet is more effective in the fight against climate change than switching from a standard American car to a hybrid. And a German study conducted in 2008 concluded that a meat-eater's diet is responsible for more than seven times as much greenhouse-gas emissions as a vegan's diet is. The verdict is in: If you care about the environment, one of the single most effective things that you can do to save it is to adopt a vegan diet.

According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off U.S. roads.

Many leading environmental organizations, including the National Audubon Society, the Worldwatch Institute, the Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and even Al Gore's Live Earth—have recognized that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else that we do. Whether it's the overuse of resources, global warming, massive water or air pollution, or soil erosion, raising animals for food is wreaking havoc on the Earth.
