A Tale of Vegetation...

While I'm still at my canivorism stuff... I'll like to share a tale or rather an anecdote that someone else shared with me...

There was this girl who was so traumatised with what the animals (poultry and other legal forms of meat, excluding wildlife species) had to go through in order to become dish after dish of delicacy on our plates that she decided to turn vegetarian.

Her thoughts:
Animals like cows were reared in farms, bred to breed generations. For those with 'good life', they were fed with alcoholic substance to increase their appeitite... thus increasing the tenderness of their meat and their value. Bred to create milk and re-production of another generation... they are then rounded up in batches and slaughtered... Animals... or rather poultry... bred to its fullest in confined areas with no where to run or hide. Yes. They struggled. They played 'catching' with the farmers. But they lost...

Then one day, after chatting with a group of friends, she reverted and swore to being a carnivore...

It turned out that a guy friend had asked her of her decision to turn vegetarian.

She shared with him her thoughts. But just as she was beaming from her justification and hoping to convert him into a vegetarian as well, he said:

"Do you know that plants have feelings too? This was tested and proven by scientists. Plants actually cower in fear when they realised danger was near. They sent out distress signals and these were recorded on graphs readings that were not unlike that of a human heartbeat. Where animals had the freedom to run and source for an escape route, plants, on the other hand, were rooted to the earth by nature. They were akin to lives nailed to the floor waiting for execution since the first day of their 'birth'...

Morale of the story?

Take meat.

Canivore no more?

Just read a friend's blog & 'celebrating' her end (hopefully) to being a herbivore. Me, on the other hand, is still very much insistent and contented to being a full-time carnivore... though I've become pretty health conscious and watch what I'm eating now. Yes! In case you are wondering... I'm attempting to add some greenies on my plate.

So far, I've been rather successful with my experiment with fresh oranges, carrots and celery. When you mix them together in the juice extractor, you can hardly taste the celery at all. And I'm drinking more vegetable soups these days (though still reluctant to down the physical form).

Haiz... is this the end of my canivorism? I hope not...
