In terms of meat and the environment: try to get hold of a copy of Frances Moore Lappe's "Diet For A Small Planet" (written ca. 1975) where you'll learn all about the impact of the nasty meat eaters. Frances was actually at the same center I worked with shortly before I got there! I had a cassette tape of a discussion with her on an old cassette recorder where the cassette was about 5 inches by 9 inches! LOL! The book is actually pretty well done although I no longer believe in that sort of pushiness.<br /><br />- MJMMichael J.

Hmm... doesn't quite have the same punch I guess.<br /><br />As for this though: " one day, the atrocities that take place on farms around the country will no longer be tolerated." and your "Perhaps meat-eating will one day, I dunno, be 'denormalised' perhaps?" don't be surprised. The communal setting where I did nonviolence training for several years had a strong vegetarian streak in it. At one point one of my housemates was a radical vegan: we couldn't even use honey because it enslaved the bees, leather shoes were verboten, and I had to fight with bared teeth to hold on to my milk and chocolate! I remember two of the vegans having a discussion about the smell of meat eaters and how it disgusted them. (There actually *IS* a meat eater's smell evidently: something to do with ketones and protein digestion or somesuch.)<br /><br />"Kissing a meat eater is like eating Haggis." <br /><br />::ducking from any Scots floating around...::<br /><br />- MJMMichael J.

They will creep it in slowly, a little every six to twelve months until finally it is denormalized, banned, then illegal - and nobody will have hardly noticed. <br /> <br />Fake charities set-up ASH-style will be paid by the government using taxpayer monies to spread hateful propaganda against meat eating taxpayers, in order to stave off criticism by engineering social ostracization as punishment for not fitting the standard form and to encourage citizen-political-tools to do much of the anti-social hate-filled dirty-work for them.<br /> <br />Following Meatless Mondays would come grocery bans on selling meats on Monday with a hefty fine for defiant violators. Well known food store chain CEOs and celebrity chefs would be carted off to jail and imprisoned along with major fines and bad-mouthed by "objective investigative journalists", just to set an example. All MSM will say the same.<br /> <br />Six months later comes plain packaging of all grocery meat products. They would have to be wrapped in plain brown unattractive leaky paper, no more of that clear cellophane see-through that allows kids to glimpse a peek at the pornography. <br /> <br />One year later comes the health stickers requirement, one for clogged artery, one for burst vein, one for colon cancer and one for dead seals killed by global warming. TV and media advertising would be banned outright as would all sports sponsorship. Meat producers would be denied input during government "open minded" assessment periods. Anyone of the public disagreeing would be labeled a "meat stooge".<br /> <br />Shortly there-after comes grocery store display bans altogether, they would have to hide the meat behind walled off areas with sliding doors accessible only under lock and key. <br /> <br />Only age-qualified adults would be allowed to view the product binder in plain black 12-point Helvetica ink set on plain white paper, double spaced and with 1" margins on all sides - and only if they approach the store attendant first, asking if meat is sold there and if they may view the product listing. Meat attendants will be fined if they accidentally say any brand names or cuts of meat, customers must decide soley on the basis of the binder, with no seller persuasion.<br /> <br />Finally would come total illegalization, along the lines of current heroin, opium and tobacco (which will by then have already tested the waters and set the example).<br /> <br />New Zealand, Australia, California, New York, EU and fake-charities and ministers in UK will all compete against one another to see who can be the most progressive in moving things through the fastest - in hopes of someone winning a Nobel Prize for saving humanity. MSM "objective investigative journalists" will also be competing in copy and paste exercises worldwide, except for a Pulitzer Prize. (Guardian in UK, New York Times in NYC and San Francisco Chronicle in CA will most likely pick up the most Pulitzers.)<br /> <br />But it won't be overnight. They do have to follow a certain required outline, using the anti-tobacco template as blueprint.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-90165114120018050302012-07-30T23:59:33.591+01:002012-07-30T23:59:33.591+01:00Next week I'm publishing pics only because I&#...Next week I'm publishing pics only because I'd like to have seen yours.
