Wheat not Meat: Do you know where your meat comes from? Do you know the
pain the animals endure? Have you ever thought about this reality? A cow hangs
upside down in the slaughterhouse. The large blade slices him from the throat
down. His guts and liver lay around. Blood dripping on the ground. All because of
human lust for flesh. A chicken is killed. Could death relieve the pain? His/Her life
was spent in a tiny, crowded cage. Slashed his throat by the knife blade. Blood
dripping a very slow death. Only to be thrown as a food flesh. A pig is kicked in
the stomach. Electrocuted- it vomits blood. From outside the walls of the
slaughterhouse, the animals can hear and smell the signs of death. With every bite
of dead animal flesh you are supporting these acts of cruel murder. Adopt a
vegetarian diet in protest of the killing. A vegetarian diet for better health. We have
no need to consume dead animal flesh. Fruits, seeds, vegetables, and soy
products fulfill our dietary needs. You've heard it before and I'll say it again. Meat
is pure murder. Meat is murder on your health as well. Deaths of colon cancer,
heart disease, and high blood pressure. Did you know if we stopped eating meat
there would be no world hunger? Did you know twenty- thousand pounds of
potatoes can be grown on one acre of land? Yet only 165 pounds of beef can be
produced on the same amount of land? 2,500 gallons of water are needed to
produce a pound of meat. Yet, only 25 gallons of water to grow a pound of wheat.
The next time you bite into that piece of animal flesh ask yourself what it is you are
supporting? Animal Murder! Earth Destruction! Human starvation! Ask yourself if
you really need to eat dead animal flesh. Can you support the slaughter?
Wheat not Meat! Wheat not Meat!
