I recently got into reading Memoirs and other non-fiction. Mainly on
audiobook, as I really enjoy having the authors tell me their own stories,
it feels somehow more personal.
+1book1review I'm completely with you on this, particularly when it's the author themselves reading the audio version is just fantastic. 'Paris in Love' is a great example of this, Eloisa reading is such a wonderful thing to listen to! Another one I'd recommend is 'As You Wish' by Cary Elwes, with the audiobook also read by him - if you've ever seen and enjoyed The Princess Bride it is a must!

The Truth About 'Free-Range' Eggs - Jonathan Safran Foer
Complete video at: //fora.tv/2009/12/01/Jonathan_Safran_Foer_Eating_Animals Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals, claims agribusiness is ...
His makes some good points and offers verifyable facts I could check. His
main complaint seems to be against marketing and advertising. "They are
lies." Well, duh! All advertising is a lie and some would say, technically
pornography, as it makes us want what we see. The last bit is confusing and
contradictory. A synagogue is "the perfect place to talk about it because
there are religious values behind it." Then he says "Religion is not
neccessary," to a rooom full of rabbis and the faithful.
@dar482 - I was not debating you, nor am I debating you now, nor will I
ever be debating you in the future. Thus it is inaccurate to claim I
repeated any questions to you. I am no longer asking you any questions at
all. At one point I was interested in better understanding your point of
view, and learning why you had so utterly failed to understand anything the
speaker in this video said. Now I am no longer interested in any of your
ideas. I do, however, sincerely wish you good luck in life.
Second what naliuj said on the subject. What's intrinsically wrong with
killing an animal then? You end a life - so what? Animals have been killing
other animals for millions of years. By being at 'the top' some of us get
arrogant and feel we should save everything. When you start preaching to
the rest of the animal kingdom to switch to vegetarian diets, I'll consider
this argument a bit more Sure, it's not nice that an animal dies so that we
can feed, but that's just 'the sympathy factor'
Me and my family have raised chickens for years, they used to have an
indoor pen and outdoor pen and come the cold times of year wud stop laying,
now my dad has decided to let them out of their pens and allow them to roam
free around our garden which is huge, and our chickens are 6-7 years old
and are healthy and happy and the eggs they produce are devine, we get so
many ppl in our village asking for their eggs and i for one will never eat
eggs that are brought from the supermarket
Actually, I DO think that the number of neurons is important. Killing a
chimp is different from killing a chicken or a gnat or a carrot. You may
kill a chicken (as long as you own it or have permission of the owner to do
so) as long as you do not cause it unnecessary pain when doing so. But
chimps should only be killed during euthanasia, when the chimp is dying of
a painful malady. But there should be no penalty for torturing a carrot.
And a chimp has higher value than a gnat.
@scottyinmesquite Check out human physiology some time, we are 100%
herbivorous. Also check out human instincts. Take your children to a
slaughter house and tell them that its "natural" to kill and eat animals.
Feed your children the fresh meat right from the cow and tell them that its
"natural". Pff, nuff said. This is why slaughter houses don't have windows
or guided tours. This is why we take our children to petting zoos instead,
so they can love animals, not kill them.
@64allybaby Go home, you aren't trying to help anyone or anything. Amino
acids are found in all plants, and are best found in fruits and vegetables.
Protein, on the other hand, must be broken down into amino acids first.
Lets say you wanted to build a house. You would order materials (amino
acids), not a house (proteins). Once it hits you that you have been lied to
all your life and big business isn't out to keep us healthy, you will see
life in a new light.
Healthy Family Farms? More like UnHealthy Factory Farms. I've already told
you countless times that UnHealthy Factory Farms was caught buying
non-organic factory-farmed eggs from Nichols Eggs and then repackaging them
as "organic" and "cage-free". They were also caught doing the same with
factory-farmed chicken meat and factory-farmed pork. UnHealthy Factory
Farms needs to be investigated by not only the FDA, but also the FTC for
criminal deceptive labeling.
We're in the rare position in which we can choose to not eat meat. If an
animal wants to live, we don't have the right to take its life for our own
pleasure. Other animals either cannot live without meat or (in the case of
them all) cannot comprehend ethics. Our incredibly high degree of
intelligence may lead us to become arrogant on the other side of the
dialectic. Just because you're conscious, does that give you a license to
kill? I don't think so
@billybobby800 @billybobby800. When did I ever say I was vegetarian, or
that I had a problem with eating meat? boogiebuddy01 said we "need meat
what are the alternatives" I'm saying there are millions of people that
have proven by their way of life that there is an alternative. Most
vegetarians are healthier than meat eaters. So what does that tell you? The
desire for high fat, salty, sugary foods is the remnants of the needs of
our ancestors.
You're either looney tunes or some fed provocateur...or David Martosko
posing as an "animal rights activist" and provocateuring against HSUS
supporters such as CDL and myself. CDL and myself don't share the same
dietary lifestyle (but I am transitioning into vegetarianism), but we share
a mutual support for HSUS. The sooner pig gestation crates and battery
cages and CAFOs are totally eliminated, the better. Gunpoint, eh? Scram,
Poindexter.
"Free-Range: there are no standards in "free-range" egg production.
Typically, free-range hens are uncaged inside warehouses and have some
degree of outdoor access, but there are no requirements for the amount,
duration or quality of outdoor access. There are no restrictions regarding
what the birds can be fed. Beak cutting and forced molting through
starvation are permitted." HSUS makes this explicitly clear on their
website. Period.
Yes, obviously companies are doing those ridiculous things... Are you
saying that these foods are directly poisonous? I really do not think that
our food situation is that poor. Maybe some foods are not nutritious or
healthy if eaten in excess. Nothing excess in life is a good thing. I also
think that the speaker's view is definitely pontificating. There is no
"wrong" is eating meat or McDonald's. Just understand what you are doing.
Rights are a man-made concept and differ from country to country. Again,
how can we tell that animals want to live. And do we just ignore the deaths
those animals who 'wanted' to live, simply because r?? Seems slightly
hypocritical. We presume they have no understanding of ethics, but we can't
know for sure. Again, being in this rare position doesn't necessarily mean
it should eventuate in a change in our behaviour.
If you try to kill an animal, it will resist. It's quite simple to see that
death is not peasant for any animal. Rights are man made, but what is your
point? I think that given the fact that we have the choice to not eat meat
and that we can empathise, it is unethical to eat animals. "And do we just
ignore the deaths those animals who 'wanted' to live, simply because r??" I
don't know what you meant by this
Egg Carton Labels: A brief guide to labels and animal welfare HSUS "The
vast number of consumer labels affixed to egg cartons can leave a shopper
feeling dazed and confused. One carton may label its eggs "Natural."
Another carton may call them "Free Range," while yet another may claim its
eggs are "Certified Organic." How are thoughtful consumers supposed to know
what these labels and claims really mean?"
@StephenKuma I think Mr. Foer is trying to bring attention to "Factory
Farming" not necessarily vegetarianism. Factory farming is butchering and
eating mass produced, purpose bred livestock. I think we should apply rules
to ourselves to limit the damage of our abundant power over other animals
and nature; if for no other reason then to protect us from the unintended
consequences of our actions.

Touché Amoré - Non Fiction | Live at The Handlebar | Pensacola, FL
Recorded on 3/10/14. Please don't comment on the crowd, I don't give a shit.
Every moment can't remain and every life
won't stay the same. With time comes a
layer of rust and our bones will turn to dust.
Everyone will fall away and every season is
built on change. With time the paint will peel
and all sense will lose it's feel. Every cloth will
start to fray and every night will become day.
With time a mold will form and what's cold
can become warm. Every love can't always
stay and the dead will soon decay. With time
we'll all be gone but how you lived can live on.
