#1 When a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick.

#2 IIRC MVARIETYNEWS > PALAU MAY LOSE SIGNIFICANT LAND AREA DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE;

versus

TOPIX > UIGHURS SEEK PERMANENT HOME AFTER PALAU.

IMO read, GUAM-CNMI etal. As before, IMO the UIGHUR RELOC TO PALAU/BELAU is broadly symbolic of Radical Islam's desire to establish a formal,legal presence in strategic areas including but not limited to GUAM-MICRONESIA. BESIDES "CHINA VS. USA", in time, RADICAL ISLAM will likely become a new and separate bone of contention for any indigenous peoples and their traditional Govt-Society/Culture, espec as per ISLAM/ISLAMISM VS. CHINA VS. USA competition and struggle for influence, econ and political power.
THE VARIOUS SECTARIAN STRIFES, ANARCHIES AND BLOODY VIOLENCE AS SEEN ON THE ASIAN MAINLAND + MIDDLE EAST, ETC. MAY EVENTUALLY ALSO BEGIN TO OCCUR ON GUAM-MICRONESIA VEE THE "GREAT GAME OF GEOPOLITICS" = SUBSTITUTION OF RULING ELITES, WEALTH, AND NATIONS, ONE TO THE OTHER(S)???

Always bear in mind > Historically the US-WEST like to fight SHORT WARS; MUSLIMS otoh prefer to fight LONG WARS = WARS OF MANY YEARS, DECADES AND GENERATIONS. Despite its many political + military successes, the USA has NOT absolutely won the WOT yet, whereas Radical Islamism despite its many defeats and setbacks HAS NOT LOST THE WOT YET, IS ESCALATING + TRYING TO GO NUKULAAR.

And the above doesn't include any SPACE ROCKS, etal. FROM GOD.

#3 the meat-eaters must do the apologizing

You know, your right.

I apologize that I am an OMNIVORE and am designed from top to bottom for eating both Meat and Potatoes. My teeth are as designed for tearing a yummie rare steak,hot off the grill, or a juicy falling-off-the-bone beef rib as it is for mashing corn-on-the-cob or mom's special mashed potatoes. My stomach can digest a couple of entire Big Mac's - the juicy hamburger patty, special sauce, lettice, tomato, cheese, and all-wheat bun.

I'm truly sorry that I can consume all those things - with nary a 'bite' of regret - and you can't - but have to preach how your unnatural lifestyle is somehow better than anyone else's

#4 Is it just me or is Mendiola off topic and on speed again.? And why is he flailing around and so LOUD? You get the impression from his hyper active posts that he is yelling into the dark somewhere up on the roof. Take your meds, Joseph. Slow down to Coherency on the Freeway of Life.

#5 You know, Crazy Fool, God made animals to eat other animals...and that's the same Creator who made Tarantula spiders and their tastes as well.

Prissy boy doesnt understand the real world as it actually exists. Blood is rather nice actually.

I ate a Steak this evening....a rather big Steak..."juicy"as they say, with a thin veneer of cooked surface and very red interior. Meat is good for you. It gives you a big greasy beard and you wash it down with strong drink.

I dont mind cutting the head and the feet off and slitting the belly open while the animal hangs by its heels. I know which knife works best for each cut and slice. One knife for the throat, another for the belly and the skinning. Sometimes you need a saw as well.

And I enjoy making the shot and the efficiency of setting up the kill no wasted motion..sudden and orderly...not everyone can do it.
Force, Time and Motion.. Its an intellectual exercise to make a good kill. Stupid people with shaky nerves or little boys.. cant do it. And its a very satisfying precision expression of synchronized thought and action ...to plan and execute...literally...a precise ( drop 'em right in their tracks with no fear and no warning) lethal kill. They dont suffer, they never even know they died.
Eject the cartridge.

#6 I don't see what the beef is here. So what if people don't want to eat meat. So what if they want to make it a culinary experience to come up with meatless dishes?

Oh, wait. I see. This guy isn't content just living his own life. He wants to come to my house for dinner and make me feel bad for serving meat.

Well, hey. I guess he won't make the invitation list, now will he?

#7 Perhaps he is already affected by his food choice.

I read an article a while ago about a young man who had some symptoms of MS - or something similar. Turns out he had not had meat - or vitimin supplements - in 12 years and his brain was damaged by the lack of B12 (I think), which is found (naturally) only in meat.

#8 When the prehistoric and early civilization crowd ran out of stuff gathered during the fall, around March or April, just what do these urbanized self worshipers think humans consumed till the next round of veggies made their edible appearence? Check the records for recent famines - matches people still stuck with non-modern farming methodologies and single grain stocks.

#9 What negative effects of the meat industry? I hope he's not talking about cow farts again.

#10 Jumbo nails it: prissy boy isn't content to just live his life. He want us to live his life as well. There's a word for that.

#11 But these proposals all lack something that every successful environmental movement has always placed at its core: genuine sacrifice.

Here is the nub.

It's not about results.

It's about the pain and the need for the peasants to feel it.

#13 Costco had some grass fed bison pot roast the other day, no hormones and no antibiotics, so I bought it. Didn't find out until we got home that it was quite expensive because I neglected to look at the price tag. But Mrs. Uluque cooked it to perfection. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. It was worth the price.

#14 I think our op-ed writer is full of beans.

Bison, yummmmm. Pricy even when fairly local but well worth it when cooked right.

I think what Mr. Mediola is considering is the theory of mass immigration b/c of environmental shifts, in this case the greenary concept of cow farts melting ice and raising ocean levels, and the different approachs to conflicts which are considered inevitable. I tend to have the same conclusion short vs. long term conflict, but also tend to add china in the category of long term as well. I see it like this, college football rivalry - my team beat your team this year. "Yup" my team beat your team last year as well. again, "Yup, but over the next 10 years our overall record will be better."

#15 We know that something has to be done to save our food from corporate interests.

It took Veggie Boy awhile but he finally exposed the real demon the evil food corporations. And, indeed, how can us mere mortals save our food from our greedy over lords? Somehow we must find a way to sever the life-blood of the corporation. Yes, we must manipulate the ultimate beastcapitalism itself. Thankfully our organic hero has given us a hint.

-- water so heavily subsidized that if irrigation supports were removed, ground beef would cost $35 a pound.

I believe its what Obamas new Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, calls Nudge.

#16 I strongly suggest that if you want humans to stop eating meat, then first stop ALL CARNIVORE/OMNIVORES FROM EATING EACH OTHER then and only then should you try to convince people.

As an aside what are you going to do when the earth is only populated with Rats, having convinced Cats and Dogs NOT to kill them.

#17 I'm happy to see vegetarians. More steak for me!

I tried the veggie route for about a year. All I can say is....veggie proteins alone didn't cut it for me, no matter how I "combined" them. One thing they hate to admit is that there are people who literally have to eat meat to get decent amounts of protein. Theoretically, yes, it can be done without meat, but in actuality, lots of people aren't efficient at getting protein that way.

Anyways, not sure if the author is experiencing a B12 deficiency yet (if you don't supplement it, you will start to get one on a purely veg diet after some time since Bobby is correct), but he seems to overlook the fact that if water shot up to $35 a gallon, his veggies would also cost considerably more....unless he restricts himself to plants grown only with the purest rainwater.

#18 I'm a meat eater, and I'm happy to apoligize.

I'm sorry you whiny-assed losers are too busy trying to run other people's lives to enjoy a good steak or some gen-u-wine bobby-que.

Well, not too sorry. More for me. :-D

#19 Militant vegetarians are like militant atheists: it isn't enough that they don't believe in God/eat meat, they don't want anyone else believing in God/eating meat.

#20 Being a Pisces, I prefer Alaska fish, but I also eat moose and caribou, and the occasional block of whale meat when I can get it.

#21 What's whale meat taste like, Paul?

You'd better not say "chicken"!
