Are you trying to tell me that you actually BELIEVE that running corn through a feeder at a 7 to 1 conversion ratio makes the food system more efficient and yields us more food?!? Fact is that we could be far more efficient if we ate considerably less or no meat. You may not like to hear it, but it's true. That ground that grows feed grade corn and beans can also grow food grade corn and beans (or potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, cukes, whatever). We CHOOSE to eat the way we do - considerably more meat per capita than previous generations. Frankly, considerably more food in general per capita AND considerably less work than previous generations.
The connective tissue that is processed into lean finely textured beef (pink slime) was used in DOG food until they figured out a way to process it into human food. Meat glue is used to make $3 worth of stew meat into a $20 piece of "steak". Does that benefit you?
I'm not giving up beef, pork, poultry. I have 8300 laying hens on the farm and butcher some of the spent hens on site for my own use. I raise up my own hog to be butchered in the fall. I get a half of beef from my dad's farm whenever I need it (soon, I'll be buying my own to raise up). A large segment of the population cannot do this. They have to depend on the large processors that supply supermarkets. The more the large processors try to get away with, the more people are gonna find out about these tricks. The less people trust them, the stronger Animal Rightists will gain a foot hold in people's thinking.
You want to see more and more restrictions and bans in place like HSUS has been working on? Just keep on supporting and defending the "Big Business" side of food production.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
