Meat Animals

[james weatherford]

The understanding so many people today have of meat is based solely on reading about meat production industrial confinement animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and the health impacts of eating meat and poultry from such a system; and that impression is very misleading in terms of animals and animal products derived from a greener, cleaner environment.

This article is the the best discussion I've seen on the topic of meat animals:
"An Animal’s Place", by By Michael Pollan
The New York Times Magazine, November 10, 2002

with this statement being so true: "...how parochial and urban an ideology animals rights really is. It could thrive only in a world where people have lost contact with the natural world, where animals no longer pose a threat to us and human mastery of nature seems absolute."
