Spraying viruses on food?

Eww!

What do you all think of the idea?

 

[MrJim]

I used to work on a turkey farm as a vaccinator. The junk in meat these days--ya either ignore it, eat only organic and game meat, or go vegetarian.

 

[ZiSunka]

I'm getting more and more vegetarian all the time.

I like my hormone grown, stacked on top of each other, pumped up with too many antibiotics, overly processed meats. One of my favorites is the Machine Seperated Chicken the oozes out of a large tube like toothpaste at the chicken plants. It is a staple in chicken nuggets, patties, hot dogs and the like. Isn't modern science tasty.

That is totally gross! I'm glad I don't eat much of that stuff; less & less all the time.

 

[ZiSunka]

Whole foods! Whole, unprocessed foods!

I like whole foods, but the I hate it when the chicken beaks get stuck in my throught. The feathers will tend to choke you up as well.

Yeh, well I didn't eat chicken in France. They came with their heads & feet still attached instead of being nicely sanitised & wrapped up in plastic. It was nearly the end of me!

So what didja do with the head & feet?

 

[Jehane]

I didn't. I went for a looong walk while dh did unmentionable things with the bread knife & I never asked - & no, I did NOT eat the poor thing; it looked half starved itself.

 

[MadFingerPainter]

hmm...
they keep wanting to do more stuff to our meat. things that sound harmful to me. i often find myself wondering what all these things will do to our bodies. they use hormones to make the cows fatter and recently i heard of something they wanted to inject our meats with to preserve their color and now this? i'm seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. i work in food service and these things just don't sound safe to me. especially this part:
"As long as it used in accordance with the regulations, we have concluded it's safe," Zajac said. People normally come into contact with phages through food, water and the environment, and they are found in our digestive tracts, the FDA said.
what i see take place at my workplace alone...there is no way i'm gonna trust someone to follow regulations.

feathers are good roughage. You should eat more of them!

make soup, silly!

Ain't you never heard of chicken feet soup?!

Joe's family raises their own beef and I always find it, um, uncomfortable to get to know the animal and then eat it.

One day I was over there feeding the calves and petting one black and white one's pretty nose when one of the wives walked by and said, "Don't get too attached to that one."

I asked why and she said, "It's a bull calf. It's going to be dinner."

You know I still made friends with that animal anyway, but I just didn't think about it when I sat down to eat barbeque at their house.

I have just remembered why I insist on organic (soil association standard) produced items.

We are supposed to be GOOD stewards of the earth God made not wreck the place.

A lot of Christians don't see it that way. They see the earth and it's resources as something to use up and make us rich. They don't see how conservation and evangelism can go hand-in-hand.

 

[SmileyMiley]

I'm vegetarian. But I think that meat isn't going to be big any more.

Are you vegetarian because you are kosher?

 

[MrJim]

I was a vegetarian for about 3 years and to this day my oldest son (10) has never eaten a burger--the only meat he gets is the occaisonal chicken nugget at fast food places.

Now his younger brother (6) will eat anything that isn't moving and he loves double cheeseburgers.

For myself I don't use cow milk--I'm a little lactose intolerant I guess. But the new soy milks are really great (Silk or 8th Continent or store brands of such). I always have a vanilla & chocolate in the fridge. Cow milk is blechh

 

[ZiSunka]

Soy milk!

Organic cow's milk or goat's milk!

Sheep's milk is okay, but not my favorite flavor. We ate a lot of sheep's milk cheese in slovakia.
