The old saying "you are what you eat" is true. You are the net result of what you put into your body. Vegetables are healthy, they grow in soil and for the most part aren't polluted by man. Meat is the exact opposite. Farmers take a happy baby animal that still doesn't understand the world and subject it to a terrible environment forcing it to mature, grow, and basically just increase its mass to maximize profits.
This is disgusting. These fully "matured" animals acquire increased fat, cholesterol, and every terrible thing the farmer gives or feeds them. If you think the meat you eat isn't passing along all the hormones the farmer pumped it full of to you, you're a fool! This raises the question: Is it possible to eat meat in a healthy and ethical way? After much careful debate I have had a ground breaking epiphany. Don't eat these abominations that farmers keep locked up in pens for years upon years while practically shoveling toxic waste into their bodies! Eat healthy meat. Meat that is free of hormones, toxins, excess cholesterol, and who knows what else!
But how?
Easy.
Eat the meat before it undergoes its terrible transformation.
Eat baby animals!
I know what your thinking: This is the greatest idea you have ever heard. I know it sounds amazing in theory, but it only gets better after looking at the facts!
FACTS:
1. Deliciousness: Baby animals haven't matured enough to get that stringy gamey muscle that is so common to most meats. Baby animals instead have a delicious tender meat that can be cut with a dull spoon.
2. Toxin Free: Certain species of fish are bad to eat because they contain high levels of mercury. How do they acquire these high levels? They eat smaller fish that all have a small amount of mercury that they acquired from the environment. After eating enough of these small fish the level of mercury builds up, and you are left with a fish with a dangerous level of toxic substance.
This is also true for animals, when farmers feed their livestock they are feeding them unclean food that is riddled with toxins. Not to mention farmers are pumping their livestock with hormones for growth and antibiotics to keep these sickly creatures alive long enough for them to get fat.
When you eat a baby animal, their supple bodies have almost none of these toxins thanks to the magic placenta keeping them out of harms way.
3. Evolution: If I told you to outrun a deer, could you? Many of the animals that we eat are naturally faster than we humans have ever been. How then did humans acquire meat before evolving weaponry? Easy. They preyed on the baby animals. A full grown bull could easily kill me, however I can knock out a new born calf with one spinning roundhouse kick. Our digestive systems were built around us eating what we could manage. We hunted and gathered whatever we could. Logic tells us that the best foods had a combination of being easy to acquire as well as having maximum nutrients. Therefore it makes sense that our digestive systems evolved to handle baby animal meat.
4. Ethics: A full grown pig has a greater mental capacity than your average dog. It has a loose understanding of its miserable situation and is able to comprehend its feelings of confusion and fear. A baby animal does not have these abilities. A large open field is a scary dangerous place to a baby animal who much prefers the cozy protection of a small cage.
