| although the majority of team hotpants enjoy feasting on the flesh of cute little baby animals that no longer frolick through pastures and meadows, a select few have turned to the healthy diet alternative of VEGETARIANISM!!!! join captain simon, the neon avenger, mayflower on glistening waters and lovable lulu in our quest to defeat the evil ways of carnivorous beings (dinosaurs included). team usa all the way!!! we are currently trying to find as many disturbing facts as possible to persuade people to join our voyage. for starters....did u know that of the 143 drugs and pesticides that are likely to leave residue in meat and poultry, 42 cause or are suspected of causing cancer, 20 of causing birth defects, and 6 of causing mutations. slaughter houses in the U.S. alone process up to twenty one million chicken per day, more than six billion per year. a life-long non-meat-eater saves around 760 chickens, 5 cows, 20 pigs, 29 sheep, 46 turkeys, 7 rabbits and over half a tonne of fish. cows are often fed on their own faeces and also concrete prior to slaughter for consumption. ....the thing is that these arent even the scary parts of having a meat and animal product based diet. hopefully you will think twice the next time you offered a piece of something dead. and i will no doubt find all those other nasty facts about meat eating one day soon and put them on here too. oh and did i mention that.........eating meat is fucked |
