cmu, I think Snappy was speaking in hyperbole. I think her point was that if she had to make a decision between an animal’s life or a human’s, she would choose to save the human.
When I was a kid in Jamaica we eat what I suspect would be called free range organic meat from chickens, goat, cows etc. The chickens and pork we eat were grown in our backyard and rest in a neighbor’s. For the most part the meat we eat was butched that day.
When I came here and talked about life back home most Americans found the way we eat distasteful or would ask question like “how do you know the meat was safe”. How times have changed.
“Both answers are correct. Additinally, from yesterday’s lesson, we learned that corporations are in business to maximize profits for the shareholders ”
all i know is – meat wasn’t always a staple of the american diet. back in the day people drank like fish, smoked like chimneys and ate meat maybe, what? once a week?
seems to me there were much less lower rates of obesity, heart disease and other stuff before the food industry was taken over by big business.

Breathe deeply. Please.
“YOU DON’T HAVE A FREE WILL????? Does big business force anything down your throat???”
yeah – i do – but someone in say, BED STUY doesn’t really have an option now, do they?
big business meat is readily available. organic shit is a niche product.
