The bucolic image do not be fooled: the beef industry actually provides very small spaces, stress, unnatural feed supplements, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. .
's the question the applicant and to every meal mixed with new people, to be a classic of its kind, "But you, excuse me, because it is vegetarian?" asks the next table. "For ethical reasons or health?" you seem to suggest. Already
the question irritates me, because as it is worded makes me appear "different" in the table, little more than a maniac or a sick person.
am a good psychologist, and I understand that there is malice and provocation responds tagliente. Mi dica lei, piuttosto, perché ha scelto di mangiar carne. Disprezzo per gli animali? Si sentiva debole? Sospetta di non farcela sessualmente? Crede che la carne le dia quegli ormoni maschili o femminili che le farebbero comodo? Ha qualche mania alimentare? O soffre di fobia per il cibo sano? Oppure ha complessi di inferiorità economica e vuol dimostrare a se stesso e agli altri di potersela permettere?
Così finisce in rissa, oppure l’altro si zittisce avendo capito di aver fatto una gaffe. D’altra parte non sono io ad aver iniziato.
Se invece capisco che non c’è provocazione (un po’ c’è sempre, però…), ma solo la banalità dei non-discorsi da salotto "tanto to say something and break the ice ", or ignorance, I appeal to all my patience, which is very little, and I answer politely but in a dry and didactic, as if he is forced to repeat this little lesson repeatedly told and retold.
Dear dear sir or madam, there are at least three reasons to be vegetarian. Few people are vegetarians for all three of these reasons, most for only the first or the first two.
1. The life and welfare of animals " non-human. "Because it's obvious that eating meat is incompatible with the existence of a slaughtered animal, not to mention the suffering incidental (mode of killing, transport, farming conditions).
2. Human health and disease prevention. Because the supply of meat can cause diseases like cancer and heart disease (CHD). According to the World Health Organization, a vegetarian diet can prevent up to 33 percent of lung cancers, 75 of those in the stomach, 50 of those with breast, 75 of those of the colon and rectum, and up 50 per cent of cancers of the mouth and pharynx. But there is less risk of all degenerative diseases, as all antioxidants are present in a largely vegetarian diet, but are lacking or not present in a diet or with meat.
3. The waste and the cost food (energy). The ecology and economics show that each step of the food chain - from plants to herbivores, carnivores - there is a loss of about 90 percent of the energy. Example
. If a field of 10 hectares planted with grain producing enough, say, directly as food to feed 20 people, the same cereal, such as data feed to cattle that are in turn eaten by humans, who feed on (we do case) only meat will be just enough for 2 people. Luckily no one eats only meat, because they could not live, but this is the maximum proportion of waste energy when switching from food plant to animal food. And if we consider that the world we are 7 billion people, with an annual increase of 1, 3 per cent, how we plan to feed the world if we do not stop the huge waste of about half the world's agricultural production date meal "animals for meat" to satisfy the tastes of carnivores?
