专家称:减少肉类消耗有助于解决环境污染问题

2008年09月09日 09:35 来源:中国新闻网 发表评论

  中新网9月9日电 联合国气候变化专家日前指出,人类应该少吃一些肉,这能缓和气候变化。减少肉类消耗有助于减少蓄养家畜造成的废弃排放和环境污染问题。

  据新加坡《联合早报》9日报道,联合国政府间气候变化委员会(IPCC)主席拉金德拉告诉媒体,人们应该把每周的其中一天定为“无肉日”,然后再慢慢将吃肉的次数减少。

  他说,这样的饮食习惯改变,有助减少因饲养家畜而造成的温室气体排放及相关的环境问题。他强调,为了环保,有必要做出调整。 【编辑:曹昆】

We all love animals

"I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." -- Leonardo da Vinci, 16th century, 5 centuries ago.

"We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner'?" -- k.d. Lang, Canadian singer

"Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, 'I am killing him-all for the passing pleasure it brings me.' And something inside me clicked. I realised, as I watched him fight for breath, that his life was as important for him as mine is to me." -- Paul McCartney, Beetles

"We stopped eating meat many years ago. During the course of a Sunday lunch we happened to look out of the kitchen window at our young lambs playing happily in the fields. Glancing down at our plates, we suddenly realised we were eating the leg of an animal who had until recently been playing in a field herself. We looked at each other and said: "Wait a minute, we love these sheep-they're such gentle creatures. So why are we eating them?" It was the last time we ever did." -- Paul and Linda McCartney

Newsletter from "Meatout for 1 day a week singapore"

Hi Folks
Thanks for supporting Meatout for 1 day a week Singapore! Here are some interesting new posts:

1. The Link Between Meat Eating and Climate Change Jeremy Rifkin,president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, delivers a keynoteaddress on the devastating role factory farms are playing in the climatechange crisis at Animal Legal Defense Fund's "Future of Animal Law"conference at Harvard Law School in March 2007. According to the 2007report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), livestockgenerate a whopping 18 percent of human-related greenhouse gasemissions-that's even more than the gas-guzzling transportationindustry.

2. Australia & Global Warming: The Missing Link in the Garnaut Report :Experts say methane from sheep and cattle greater contributor to climatechange than coal Experts point out that the Garnaut Report has greatlydiminished the role of "livestock" emissions. Methane will causesignificantly more warming in the next 20 years than all of Australia'scoal-fired power stations. Methane is such a huge contributor to climatechange. Why is methane so under-appreciated? There's a political reasonand a technical reason.

TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging
effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts.
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may
cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."


Because :

Evening at 9 - 11 PM :
is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am :
is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am :
detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am :
detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be
a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the
detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am :
detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 am :
absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow
produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Golden-needle-mushroom

Golden-needle-mushroom (Jin-Gen-Gu 金根菇)

Golden-needle-mushroom (Jin-Gen-Gu) successfully kills 95% of cancer cells
( Taiwan Report)

Research done by Singapore U shows that eating this mushroom can destroy 95% of cancer cells in our body by boosting our immune system.

Professor Phan Hwai Chong of Yang Ming Research Centre in Taiwan told Reporter that consuming this kind of mushroom, one of the ingredients in the
mushroom can trigger the multiplication of our healthy 'defensive' cells. By out-numbering the cancer cells, healthy cells help eradicate cancer cells.

American scientists have since run tests on this particular type of mushroom extract with blood, done outside human body. Results show that mushroom extract is able to destroy cancer cells.

According to Taiwan professor, since healthy 'fighting' cells can be multiplied to tens & thousands of times, it can either be used as drip or just by eating mushroom.

The mushroom is most frequently taken with steam boat. Cooking time should be less than 3 minutes, or the healing property would greatly diminish.

蘋果

蘋果 = 「記憶果」....... *-*

蘋果 = 「記憶果」記得 大長今 的電視劇,她為皇上準備數顆蘋果放在他的寢室,
以幫助皇上放鬆心情並且幫助入眠蘋果果真是有其療效有一陣子睡得不好,
三更半夜就轉醒過來,久久不能 再度入睡。 翌日,精神變得恍惚,痛苦得很。

一位外國朋友教我這個方法,就是吃一個蘋果。
於是遇上這種情況,就吃一個蘋果, 果然很快又再入睡。

近年流行排毒, 以清潔體內一切妨礙健康的水分和毒素 。
在眾多水果材料中,蘋果亦佔上一席位,原來蘋果含有的蘋果酸和酒石酸 ,
有助消化身體內高油脂食物的功能,可以驅動腎臟排除體內多餘水分和毒素;
此外蘋果還含有豐富的果膠 , 這是一種可溶性的纖維質,
可以跟鉛、汞等重金屬結合一起,並和壞膽固醇一起排出體外以達致淨化的效果。

所以「每日一蘋果,醫生遠離我」是有它的道理的。
體內百毒清除,皮膚自然透光澤,斑印漸退。
如果不幸患上慢性胃炎,蘋果是不容懷疑的良藥。
只要每日中飯及晚飯後吃一個去皮蘋果,好快胃炎就痊癒了。
據說,蘋果酸能夠抑制癌細胞的擴散呢!

都市人應酬,生活毫無秩序又缺乏運動,
為了防止未老先衰,每日至少一個蘋果,看來是明智的選擇。

何況蘋果在古代中國早有「智慧果」之稱呢!
蘋果含有 豐富的維他命B1 、B2、C及胡蘿蔔素、煙酸 (亦稱維他命B5);
此外還含有糖類、脂肪、蛋白質、果膠、鈣、鉀、鐵、鋅、纖維素、
蘋果酸、鞣酸等。

蘋果皮含有的車菊素有止嘔功效。
可惜現在許多蘋果外皮有石蠟農藥殘留,不宜吃食。

一位營養專家告訴我,蘋果外號「記憶果」。

為甚麼呢?
因為蘋果富含鋅元素,鋅就是構成與記憶有密切關係的核酸和蛋白質不可或缺的元素。

一旦缺鋅,大腦皮層邊沿海馬區即發育不,影響記憶力。
是以多吃蘋果有提高智能的功效。

香薰治療是近年流行的紓解抑鬱和壓抑感的良方之一。

而眾多香薰中,經研究結果,
蘋果香薰對人的心理影響最大,它具有消除心理抑鬱感的作用,
許多病人一旦吸入蘋果香氣,精神馬上變得愉快平和。
所以,如果你晚上睡不寧或者有失眠情況的話 ,
不妨灑點蘋果香薰,擔保你好快進入夢鄉!

70 per cent of grain in US goes to meat

70 per cent of grain in US goes to meat industry written by George Jacobs President, Vegetarian Society (Singapore)
United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki Moon has called for urgent action to feed the world. Yet, we continued to inefficiently use plant food to feed animals we later eat. For example, the article 'Japan's farmers switch to planting rice for animals'(May 31), describes how Japan now uses rice, Asia's main staple, to feed chickens and other animals. Yet, for every kilo of food that cows, chickens, pigs and so on are fed, only a fraction of calories are returned in the form of edible flesh. The rest of those calories burn away in the daily life processes of our fellow animals or contribute to the feathers, blood and other parts of these ill-treated beings that are not eaten by humans.
As an example of the huge amounts of food consumed by the meat industry, the AudubonSociety estimates that about 70 per cent of grain grows in the United States goes to the meat industry, not to feed people. In poor countries, food that could go to feed starving people goes to meat production. Global meat consumption has increased fivefold in the part 50 years, and this trend shows little sign of abating. Thus, the inefficiency of meat threatens to further distort world food markets.

从牧場主到国际素食主義联盟主席

萊门先生并非天生就是當美國人道協會"良心飲食运动"总裁的料,也并非天生的"国际素食主義"主席,相反,萊门的家族4代都是从事畜牧養殖业者,他本身亦有35年的畜牧经驗。在20多年前,他在一个有机的大型奶酪农場工作,经營着一个飼養雞、猪和火雞的农場,并种植有几千畝谷物,養殖了一千多只肉牛。當然,他与許多不明真相的人一样,也是肉食者。 

轉折发生在1979年,那時他的脊髓长了腫瘤,从腰部以下半身麻痹,根據医生的預測,他只有百萬分之一的机会再度走路。在開刀的前一天晚上,他慎重地對自己許了一个愿:无論手術的結果如何,他都將素食,并用自己的余生致力于他認為對人類有益的事情。经過12个小時的手術,他居然成功地被摘除了腫瘤,并順利复原了。這个事件改變了他的一生。他相信今天能走路是因為上帝听到了他許的愿,并給他机会讓他实踐自己的諾言。

一个新的诉求:拯救地球 让荤食的人少吃肉!

一个新的诉求:拯救地球 让荤食的人少吃肉!
--紘睿站长v.s.传贵詹老板 访谈录(四) 点阅率:1,062)


肉类价格高涨 素食有机会平价化

紘:一般素食较为人诟病的,就是价钱比较贵,传统观念也是觉得素食比荤食贵,未来会不会像您所说的,当肉越来越贵的时候,两者价格越来越接近,甚至素的反而比肉便宜呢?

詹:会!

紘:所以就目前您的观察,黄豆并没有因为世界这样的环境,而使得价格往上飙涨吗?

詹:依换肉率来讲,它还是比肉便宜,我现在做的,成本并不会非常高,其实主要还是「通路」的问题,因为通路比较窄,所以成本才比较高,因为量少,市场还不够大,所以很多通路费用比较高,使得整体价格高。

紘:您看这一两年来黄豆市场有在增长吗?

詹:有!黄豆市场是在增长的,但其中有一大部分是用于饲养牲畜,另外还有基改问题(基因改造),仍在争议中,如果有一天确定基因改造作物不能使用的话,美国农业可能会破产。

紘:是有可能,美国已经有70%以上的农作物是基因改造的。

詹:因为基改的作物好种啊!种出来的产量又多,谁还想要再去种有机呢?所以基因改造也是一条难以回头的路。

土地是有生命的 要靠大家维护

詹:我用的黄豆是与固定的有机农场契作,成本比较高,但并不会贵到没办法接受的地步。美国的这些有机农场,大都是高知识份子在经营,为了让子孙永续使用这片土地,甚至有当过州长的人在种,他们有钱,不需要快速用土地,来成长他们的财富。

紘:但他们是用心去做的,是从维护土地的想法出发,来投入有机农业的。

詹:因为他们知识层面比较高,不需要跟一般的农民竞争,整个思考方式也完全不同。因为不需要赚大钱,一块地种五分之一就够吃了、就够用了,所以剩下的部份可以轮流养地。他们从卫星定位图去看,土地是一直在流失的,一直用农药、用化肥的话,表土层会越来越浅。

紘:有沙漠化的倾向,所以土壤都没了。

詹:是啊!像我也发现我们工厂在大溪那边的土地,靠池塘的水泥地和另一边的草地相比,竟然草地比较高,当初做的时候不可能把水泥地做的比较低啊!所以,是经过十多年后,土地「长高了」,踩上去的感觉也很软,跟海棉一样。其他有被开发的地面就硬梆梆。

詹:土地是有生命的,会成长的,需要好好维护啊!

后记:台湾v.s.黄豆

听完詹老板的理念,突然觉得,台湾其实很像「黄豆」,很小,但很有潜力。

为什么要想尽办法研发各种豆制品?站在素食者的立场,可能认为是要满足吃素的需求;站在一般人的立场,则可能是要满足食材多样化或营养均衡的需求。

但站在地球的立场呢?

我们觉得天气很热,或气候变得很怪异,联想到全球暖化问题;油价不断上涨、能源短缺,联想到土地过度开发的问题。但,这跟黄豆有关系吗?

黄豆可能拯救地球吗?

从詹老板的谈话中,我们知道台湾的豆制品研发能力强,于是欧美人士前来寻求合作,希望能生产出比荤食更好吃的素食,来满足一般人的口欲。为的,就是保护地球。

「只要有更多的人少吃肉,地球的负担就不会那么重!」欧美先进国家已经开始从这样的思考点出发,不但看好素食食品的市场,更看重素食的价值。

在这样的概念下,黄豆虽小,真的有可能拯救地球;如果黄豆能拯救地球,台湾虽小,真的有可能改变世界!

M&M、Snickers等巧克力成份改變 素食者不宜

Extracted from VegeWorld; don't miss its link at the side column :)

根據香港星島日報5/14報導,生產M&M、Snickers、Mars等知名巧克力品牌的 Masterfoods公司宣布,自今年 5月1日起,該公司旗下的巧克力,已轉用含有動物胃粘膜成 份的材料製造,因此素食者不宜食用。

  Masterfoods是知名的巧克力生產商,旗下暢銷產品超過廿種,除了上述知名產品外,還包括 Maltesers、Bounty、Twix、Milky Way、Minstrels、Mars雪糕、Celebrations巧克力、Tracker果仁巧克力條、Magic Stars等。
該公司宣布,上述巧克力的配方成 份已經改變,現在轉用含有自牛隻胃部抽取的物質:凝乳酵素來製造。凝乳酵素也是中歐起司生 產商採用的重要成 份,用來將牛奶中的酪蛋白凝結。

  Masterfoods的巧克力產品配料以往只含有植物成 份,但現在已轉用凝乳酵素製造,許多素食者向該公司提出強烈抗議,因為他們實在難以接受,連這些家 喻戶曉的巧克力都含有動物成 份,希望 Masterfoods公司收回成命、不要改變。

  但公司代表並未 說明改變的原因,集團事務經理戈爾比只表示:由於巧克力製造成 份有變,因此公司不能確保旗下的各品牌巧克力不含凝乳酵素,所以特別提醒消費者,這些產 品是對素食者不宜的。

俗諺說:「病從口入」,又說「你就是你所吃的」,足見飲食習慣不但關係個人身、心、靈的健康,也密切地關係整個社會與文化的發展。20世紀人類過于追求財富、提升生活品質的結果,「在人定勝天、征服自然」觀念驅使下,終於觸目皆是後遺症!尤其是過量不當使用化學肥料栽種、化學農藥防治病虫害的蔬菜、水果中,更是含有足以導致細胞病變的惡劣因子,成為現代人生命的夢魔。有許多人因生病而求助於生機飲食,他們把有機蔬菜當作生命的源泉,深深體驗因改變飲食習慣,回歸自然而獲重生的喜悅。真正的健康,不是把身體交給醫生,而是了解自己、照顧自己,平時就注意飲食,均衡攝取「蔬、果、毂、芽」,藉由飲食預防疾病,則健康與之相隨矣。

Even more so than dogs and certainly [more so than] three-year-olds,” says Dr. Donald Broom, a Cambridge University professor and a former scientific advisor to the Council of Europe.(1) Pigs can play video games, and when given the choice, they have indicated temperature preferences.(2)

These facts are not surprising to anyone who has spent time around these social, playful animals. Pigs, who have a great sense of smell and can live into their teens, are protective of their young and form bonds with other pigs. Pigs are clean animals, but they do not have sweat glands, so they take to the mud to stay cool and ward off flies.(3,4)

Problems With Factory FarmsOnly pigs in movies spend their lives running across sprawling pastures and relaxing in the sun. On any given day in the United States, there are nearly 63 million pigs in factory farms, and 104 million are killed for food each year.(5,6) Factory-farming conditions are no better in Canada, which exports more than 8 million live pigs to the U.S. for slaughter each year.(7) In 2003, managers of Canada’s largest pig exporter faced cruelty-to-animals charges after 10,000 dead and dying pigs were found on the company’s farms. Investigators found dead pigs stacked behind barns and dead piglets in manure tanks, and all the live pigs “were in some form of distress.”(8)

Mother pigs (sows)—who account for more than 6 million of the pigs in the U.S.—spend most of their lives in individual “gestation” crates.(9) These crates are about 7 feet long and 2 feet wide—too small for them even to turn around.(10) After giving birth to piglets, sows are moved to “farrowing” crates, which are wide enough for them to lie down and nurse their babies but not big enough for them to turn around or build nests for their young.(11)

Piglets are separated from their mothers when they are as young as 10 days old. Once her piglets are gone, each sow is impregnated again, and the cycle continues for three or four years before she is slaughtered.(12,13) This intensive confinement produces stress- and boredom-related behaviors, such as chewing on cage bars and obsessively pressing against water bottles.(14,15)

After they are taken from their mothers, piglets are confined to pens until they are separated to be raised for breeding or meat.(16) Because they, too, are extremely crowded and prone to stress-related behaviors (such as cannibalism and tail-biting), farmers chop off piglets’ tails and use pliers to break off the ends of their teeth—without any painkillers.(17) For identification purposes, farmers also cut out chunks of the young animals’ ears.(18)

Transportation and SlaughterFarms all over North America ship piglets (called “feeder pigs”) to Corn Belt states such as Illinois and Indiana for “growing” and “finishing.” When they are transported on trucks, piglets weighing up to 100 pounds are given no more than 2.4 square feet of space, and farmers are warned that the piglets “probably will get sick within a few days after arrival.”(19) One study confirmed that vibrations, like those made by a moving truck, are “very aversive” to pigs. When pigs “were trained to press a switch panel to stop for 30 seconds vibration and noise in a transport simulator … the animals worked very hard to get the 30 seconds of rest.”(20)

Once pigs reach “market weight” (about 250 to 270 pounds), the industry refers to them as “hogs” and they are sent to be slaughtered. The animals are shipped from all over the U.S. and Canada to slaughterhouses, most of which are in the Midwest. According to industry reports, more than 1 million pigs die en route to slaughter each year.(21) There are no laws to regulate the duration of transport, frequency of rest, or provisions of food and water for the animals.(22,23) Pigs tend to resist getting into the trailers, which can be made from converted school buses or multidecked trucks with steep ramps, so workers use electric prods to move them along. There are no federal laws to regulate the voltage or use of electric prods on pigs, and a study showed that when electric prods were used, pigs “vocalized, lost their balance and tr[ied] to jump out of the loading area” and that their “[h]eart rate and body temperature was significantly higher … when compared to pigs loaded using a hurdle [movable chute].”(24) A former pig transporter told PETA that pigs are “packed in so tight, their guts actually pop out their butts—a little softball of guts actually comes out.”(25) When a transport truck owned by Smithfield Foods—the largest pork producer in the world—and loaded with 180 pigs flipped over in Virginia, many pigs were killed in the accident, while others lay along the side of the road, injured and dying. PETA officials arrived on the scene and offered to humanely euthanize the injured animals, but Smithfield refused to allow the suffering animals a humane death because it is illegal to sell the flesh of animals who have been euthanized.(26)

A typical slaughterhouse kills about 1,000 hogs per hour.(27) The sheer number of animals killed makes it impossible for pigs’ deaths to be humane and painless. Because of improper stunning, many hogs are alive when they reach the scalding-hot water baths, which are intended to soften their skin and remove their hair.(28) The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented 14 humane-slaughter violations at one processing plant, where inspectors found hogs who “were walking and squealing after being stunned [with a stun gun] as many as four times.”(29) An industry report explains that “continuous pig squealing is a sign of … rough handling and excessive use of electric prods.” The report found that the pigs at one federally inspected slaughter plant squealed 100 percent of the time “because electric prods were used to force pigs to jump on top of each other.”(30) A PETA investigation found that workers at an Oklahoma farm were killing pigs by slamming the animals’ heads against the floor and beating them with a hammer.(31)

Health Problems Caused by Eating PorkThe consumption of pork and other animal products has been linked to cancers of the mouth, throat, colon, and stomach.(32,33,34) A study of more than 90,000 women concluded that “frequent consumption of bacon, hot dogs, and sausage was … associated with an increased risk of diabetes.”(35) However, those pork products are on the daily menu for 25 percent of kids between the ages of 19 months and 2 years.(36) According to another study, the children of pregnant women who consume cured meats on a daily basis run a “substantial risk of [growing a] paediatric brain tumour.”(37)

Every year in the United States, food poisoning sickens up to 76 million people and kills 5,000.(38) Pork products are known carriers of foodborne pathogens: One study found that more than 50 percent of the tested samples of ham were contaminated with staphylococcus, and another study determined that “traditional salting, drying and smoking of raw pork meat was not antimicrobiologically effective” against Salmonella typhimurium.(39)

Because crowding creates an environment conducive to the spread of disease, pigs in factory farms are fed and sprayed with huge amounts of pesticides and antibiotics. The pesticides and antibiotics remain in their bodies and are passed on to people who eat them, creating serious human health hazards. Pigs and other factory-farmed animals are fed 20 million pounds of antibiotics each year, and scientists believe that meat-eaters’ involuntary consumption of these drugs is giving rise to strains of bacteria that are resistant to treatment.(40)

Environmental HazardsEach factory-farmed pig produces about 9 pounds of manure per day.(41) As a result, many tons of waste end up in giant pits in the ground or on crops, polluting the air and groundwater. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, agricultural runoff is the number one source of pollution in our waterways.(42) A Missouri-based hog farm had to pay a $1 million fine for illegally dumping waste, which caused the contamination of a nearby river and the deaths of more than 50,000 fish.(43) Smithfield Foods was fined $12.6 million for polluting the Pagan River with phosphorous-contaminated wastewater from its slaughter plant.(44) Pigs and other farmed animals are the primary consumers of water in the U.S.; a single pig may require up to 21 gallons of drinking water per day.(45) Eighty percent of agricultural land in the U.S. is used to grow food to meet the needs of pigs and other factory-farmed animals.(46) In the “finishing” phase alone, during which pigs grow from 100 to 240 pounds, each hog consumes more than 500 pounds of grain, corn, and soybeans; this means that across the U.S., pigs eat tens of millions of tons of feed every year.(47)

Dear Yeow

i am so ENCOURAGED that there are people like YOU and Andrew and all the other wonderful souls in the Veg Society of Singapore. Let me share something that Joyce Low of Kampung Senang told me re WHY she (and her family) turned Vegetarian.

It was on a business trip to China (Joyce was a banker with HongKong bank) when she saw at the marketplace, slaughtered Pigs> hanging (i think she said Pig not Dog) and it had TEARS in its eyes. She was so MOVED...she changed INSTANTLY. And yes, you are Correct about Abbatoires...

When Peter Proctor (Biodynamic> >field consultant) was still a dairy farmer - he had to bring his calves to the abbatoir (as is customary so the lactating cows can produce ALL its milk for us humans) - one time, there was no one at its entrance to receive him so he had to bring the calves into the slaughter house itself. The SIGHT of it so SICKENED him that Peter turned Vegetarian instantly - and has been Vegetarian for now over 40 years (he is 70+ ) and one of the speakers i recommended.

>Subject: fwd: Queries

we have actual footages of animal slaughtering on vcd. some are from the west (US), some from the east (taiwan). u can see its a question which is horrific n which is worse.

why do we think abattoirs will never allow filming of the ongoing inside? ... n its bad for the multi-million $ business. also for that reason, abattoirs are built far from public contact, it's bad enough when slaughtering is done correctly, the "right way". (with stunning, of which there r various methods) in some cases, rules are flouted (to save cost n time. from the slaughterman's perspectiv... "the animals are going to die anyway, what's the point of trying to be nice? Let's b practical!"). n no stunning is used. the screaming pigs are stabbed fully conscious n left to run, scream n suffocate in their own blood. these perfectly innocent and defenceless animals receive the worse punishment on earth.

we could checkout the farms and abattoirs, but even if animals are breed in airconditioned-perfumed filled spacious farms and hv a kind of euphoria induced in the moment of slaughter , (god knows how this possible!) it stil wont be right. bec it is not ethical to prolong/enhance our lives by shortening/manipulating the lives of others.

reality: singapore consumes abt 3 000 pigs PER DAY, abt 250 000 chickens per day... and there's cattle, ducks. EVERY DAY. it is the dark side of humanity we pretend doesn't exist. we deny it vehemently. it is this greatest inhumanity on earth. it will also be our greatest backlash! we are already seeing it. diseases/cancer, violence/war, weather conditions.
the entire episode is unnecessary. if we want to help humans/the earth/bring peace... help animals first.

the tastiness in meats is a delusion. it's the seasoning we stuff into meats that make it seemingly good. we've just been brainwashed/conditioned since day-one to think that meat is good and necessary.

i could go on. it's for these reasons that many people in the world, like myself, are willing dedicate our lives to stop this madness. to live for this cause alone makes a life well spent. it's for these reasons that i searched for a veg society to put my energy into. because i realised that alone my efforts are limited. if the like minded can collaborate, we can effect huge changes (global), set things right for animals, the earth ...and humans, n put an end to this absurdity.

The Good cookBook diet
Genesis is a small eatery in the financial district that aims to turn corporate high-fliers to the road of clean eating.


By Jaime Ee - 24 June 2006 The Business Times

EVER thought about eating the way the Bible tells you to? It's hard to imagine finding a cookbook in the book of God, but it's there in the book of Genesis, and that is precisely what Genesis the restaurant is all about.

Started by three Seventh Day Adventists and their close friends, Genesis is a small eatery in the financial district that aims to turn corporate high-fliers to the road of clean eating.

Says Chee Poh Geok, a former nurse who co-owns the vegetarian eatery along with retired teacher Esther Choo and dietitian Diana David: 'We've always believed that Man has several components - physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. The physical component will affect the other aspects of yourself - whatever you do physically will affect you emotionally and spiritually. That's why we believe that you need to take care of the physical component.'
As she explains it, the diet that God planned for Man is simple. 'He said plant food should be your food - berries, grains, seeds, nuts, fruits and vegetables would nourish us. We are only now beginning to find out how good this diet is for us, but to think it was written 6,000 years ago.
'After the Flood, there was no plant food and Man began to eat animals as well. But there were stipulations from God like not to take the fat or the blood. We now know that the fat is where the cholesterol is and the blood is where the disease is.'


Plants, Mrs Chee adds, are rich in phytochemicals that act as protection against cancer and other diseases.

'Here, we serve only natural plant food, not mock items, but if we do, we only select those that are closest to the natural products. There's more natural fibre because we use beans; there is no cholesterol; (our food) reduces fat and increases fibre, vitamin and mineral content.' All of which is a lot better than refined food.

And the response seems to be good, as Genesis has a strong loyal following who also bring their own friends to try the food.

'Our bestsellers are the 'chicken' rice and the Japanese rice sets,' she adds. 'Most people like the set rice dishes - we always balance it with greens, protein and whole grains. We use brown rice, soya for protein. Sometimes we use nuts or beans, which is also a source of protein. The chicken is made from tofu, and it goes with a garlic chilli sauce made with red peppers and lime juice.
'The Japanese rice set is brown rice with sticky rice inside, seasoned with a lot of seaweed and garnished with cucumber and fruit like mango and kiwi - it's a very tasty, fragrant and complete meal.'


There are also interesting sides like their own dumplings, while Western entrees include stuffed potatoes 'with our own mayonnaise made with soya'. The ladies also make their own soya spread and cashew butter - in fact, 'we make everything ourselves,' says Mrs Chee. But they're not in this for money, that's for sure. 'We were not thinking about profits when we started this, but about doing something for the community. We had been doing volunteer work before teaching people to cook, so when we started this, it was not about making profits. But there is the need to break even so we can continue to do it.'

Their goal, she says, is to help people make the switch from a high-fat diet to one that is the opposite. 'If they can do that, it will take care of a lot of the major diseases killing Singaporeans, like heart disease. Even if they want to eat their meat, they can at least make some effort to stay off that stuff some days of the week.'


The result of their efforts is that people have been swayed by their philosophy towards food, such that some of them even eat at Genesis every day. Despite not having done any publicity, the restaurant has a strong following thanks to its regulars who bring their friends and families along. 'They do our promotion for us,' says Mrs Chee. Or, if you want to put it in a biblical sense, you could say they're spreading the good word around.

The Straits Times - July 10, 2006 Factory farm meat is unhealthy
It's quite understandable why Mr Christopher Turner has taken issue with the SBS bus hamburger advertisement. (More meat? No thanks; ST, July 2).


The concept of a factory farm totally disregards the inhumane methods of rearing animals, its only consideration being economic interest at the expense of all else. With conventional farming methods, prices at fast-food restaurants would have been sufficiently prohibitive to ensure that most fast-food restaurants would have gone the way of dinosaurs.

The Meet Your Meat video clip http://www.meat.org/ shows how animals are reared in factory farms which most of us have never seen. A cow grazing happily in an open field is only a figment of our imagination. These animals never see daylight, the only time that they do is when they are being transported to the abattoir.

In a factory farm, five to 10 chickens are usually crammed into a cage with only standing space. Fights ultimately break out but even injured animals are deemed fit for consumption. Pigs and cows are not just unable to move about but are not even able to turn around. They stand in the same spot till the day they are brought to the slaughterhouse.

A factory farm is like a warehouse containing thousands or tens of thousands of animals. Animal waste containing ammonia permeate the entire factory farm. This is unhealthy for the animals (and human beings as well). But animal sufferings do not end here. The manner in which these animals are transported to the slaughterhouse, as well as upon arrival, is simply inhumane. Factory farm and slaughterhouse employees also indulge in animal abuse beyond description.
The extreme cruelty of human beings in this 12-minute video clip is beyond words.


If we are not doing it for the animals, then the least we should do is for our health because factory farm meat is not as healthy as made out to be.
