Well then, maybe we should grow tumors in a lab and eat them!!! We could bypass eating the animals directly and just eat the tumors. The tumors would be growing wildly, and faster than corn feed cows or Chinese dogs, and we would not have to worry about getting cancer from eating the tumors!
Say what??? Apparently you haven’t read ***The China Study ***by T. Collin Campbell. Consuming animal products ***is ***connected to cancer and other diseases. Not in species-to-species transmission, but animal protein has been shown to be the trigger to turning cancer and other diseases on in our human bodies. This book is written by a researcher (who incidently grew up on a dairy farm) and spans fifty years of numerous studies and lab trials.
Perhaps. There are also studies that suggest that animal proteins have nothing to do with the development of cancer.
It is better to say that there appears to be, based on certain studies, a link between the consumption of animal proteins and the development of cancer in humans. The link remains unproven, scientifically speaking, until someone is able to conclusively induce cancer in a human being with the administration of animal proteins; to date, I’m certain that has not been done.You want to do what??? Are you volunteering to eat a high animal product diet while being exposed to high levels of carginogens??? In ***The China Study *** the medical community was alerted to an alarmingly high rate of liver cancer in Chinese children. Scientists were called in to figure out what was going on. There was a highly carcinogenic mold found in crops in China. At first it was thought to be the culprit. The odd thing was though, that the rural Chinese who ate almost NO animal products, and who were highly exposed to this mold, were NOT the ones getting the cancer.Perhaps. There are also studies that suggest that animal proteins have nothing to do with the development of cancer.
In any case, that has nothing to do with what I wrote i.e. that eating animal cancer cells does not give people cancer.
I’m far from worried…A other animals you are eating that most likely have illnesses,including cancer.You are in fact swallowing all those cancer cells.
.
Did you know that in this country alone 50 million children have been slaughtered since 1973?
You want to do what??? Are you volunteering to eat a high animal product diet while being exposed to high levels of carginogens???
Do you actually read what I post, M?

It was the affluent Chinese in the cities, who were eating a Western diet high in animal products who were getting the liver cancer. The mold was highly carcinogenic but did not cause cancer in the rural Chinese, only in the urban Chinese eating animal proteins. This phenomenon prompted decades of studies and research. This book is well worth reading, especially if one has concerns about why cancer has become so prevalent in TODAY’s society.

That does not prove that the animal proteins ***cause ***cancer, as you stated earlier, but that the animal proteins may be a factor in the development of cancer in those exposed to a carcinogenic mold. As well, there are more factors involved in city vs. rural living that may have been a factor.
You’re going from A to B but lacking the scientific reasoning to do so.

Here again. People want to use a comparison of people to animals when they want to support eating meat but argue against the comparison of people to animals when the argument is against eating meat. Go one way or the other. Don’t be so wishy washy. It makes for a really weak argument. Either dogs are like us (equal to us) and we all need meat or there is no comparison between human and animals since we are the (so called) superior being. Pick one or the other.so even dogs should be forced to become vegan??
against their very nature… just like humans…
hmmmm…
I always find it odd that someone finds pride in being able to look another living being in the eye, nurture it, and then kill it. There’s something wrong with that picture. I read and hear so often…I raised it, fed it, cared for it, bonded with it, looked it in the eye, felt bad but killed it anyway for the good of all. I had to be the strong one. Get real! There’s just something lacking in people who do this. Somewhere along the line they didn’t develop empathy. It’s a psychological issue. Maybe something to do with power and control???
Marfran,
But what about if you believe it is wrong *to be cruel and abusive *to animals. Does that go for ***all ***animals? Can we be selective? In today’s modern society we are appalled by the mistreatment of dogs and cats. We are appalled with Michael Vick. Yet we think nothing of the cruelty and suffering endured by “factory” farm animals–or choose to be ***purposefully unaware ***or to ignore their plight, in favor of the pleasure of a cheeeseburger. Does our society have a schizophrenic view/attitude toward animals?? Does our morality in the treatment of animals need to face up to some of the “realities” that we prefer not to know about?
Dude, you should read the book. It can explain it better than I. Lots of experiments on lab rats and mice in the book too (decades of experiments). After noticing the high rate of liver cancer in the urban Chinese children, and the strange fact that this was not occurring in the rural Chinese (who had even higher exposures to the carcinogenic mold), scientists set out to replicate the results in the lab.
That does not prove that the animal proteins ***cause ***cancer, as you stated earlier, but that the animal proteins may be a factor in the development of cancer in those exposed to a carcinogenic mold. As well, there are more factors involved in city vs. rural living that may have been a factor.

More people ***do not ***do this. In today’s society most people are removed from the slaughter and butchering of their meat. And in the words of Paul McCartney “If slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarians.”
People should be willing to kill any animal they are willing to eat. Absolutely. And if you can’t kill it, then you need to examine why you are willing to eat it ***only ***if someone else has done the “dirty work” for you. If you are uncomfortable with the act of killing the food that you “need,” then maybe you don’t need it so much after all.
