Dear Russell, I agree. It seems that most public media feel that we are not able to understand anything above a 4th grade level of knowledge. They are afraid of us thinking for ourselves. It is up to us to show them that we can handle it and more. Namaste, Sharon K.

Granted, the need to educate is better then your personal vision being the only one, but at the same time, the compromise is not one of acceptance of the other position.<br />
<br />
A point being made in the videos you have posted ,is the contribution meat production has to the "greenhouse effect" for me this is not the platform I would stand on to state a cause for an adherence to a vegetarian lifestyle.<br />

<br />
As we often see the Machiavellian hijacking of a cause by the multinationals the closer we can get the message of compassion before compromise into a persons life, I would like to believe an individual can make decisions based on what they see is going well for their life as opposed to what they are told is good for them.<br />
<br />
Compassion based thinking could empower people to seek their own answers to situations that are presented.<br />
<br />
What would it mean to this animal if i chose to not eat it ,What would it mean to this world if I chose to support ethical and sustainable agriculture, What would it mean if I chose to bike instead of drive, What would it mean to go for a walk and experience exercise based health.<br />
<br />
Instead of watch the latest mind numbing TV episode of what cow farts and politicians pontification of the issues are, start by being compassionate about the animals we farm for our convenience and as was noted in an earlier post question our Justification for our actions tag:ipeace.us,2009-12-27:2217368:Comment:23511342009-12-27T21:03:43.219Zs <3https://ipeace.us/profile/clclay2

It's impossible to find a video that reflects your own personal beliefs unless you make it yourself, there is always a compromise when posting videos rather than your actual own words.<br />

If it makes someone think about meat consumption I feel happy.

Yes I agree there is a subtle but powerful cultivation of "Ignorance is Bliss," through main stream media and mass consumed information.<br />
<br />
The more people do not have to think for them selves they are happy, to me it is like the story of the frog in the pot who thinks it is a nice pond to play in until the heat gets turned up and by then it is to late.

Clever use of popular media to get attention but they seem to be advocating ETHICAL farming of animals, to which I would reply there is no need to consume our fellow earthlings for nutrition or survival.<br />

I respect a persons decision to consume meat and if so humanely ? breed and slaughter the beast, but the truth is there is no NEED for it, present animal farming techniques contribute to excessive water consumption, noxious gas emissions and a tragic imbalance for the health of the world in which we live and the bodies that consume the end result.<br />
<br />
If the ethos was placed on sustainable agriculture and the health of citizens of a country, as opposed to the profits and politics of powerful agribusiness conglomerates, I would like to believe we could see a more compassionate and healthy attitude to long term decisions for the well being of the planet and future generations.
