  1. eeding to eat a couple, it's OK because you can have a ton of fish and seafood on a family farm.
  2. Yes! And I'm sorry your dad is stuck in the middle of somewhere.
  3.  
  4. This is where you get a lot of shit.
  5. I've always been a carnivore. A lot of my life was spent in the Pacific coast of North America, so I was never really exposed to many processed ingredients.
  6. Liver, blood, and fish were the most common ingredients in American processed meat (think, for instance, tofu), and meat is my gateway drug.
  7. Yes! I think most processed dairy and egg products are toxic to the human intestinal tract, and some eggs (especially those made from hens) are actually very toxic.
  8. My stomach is still very raw and I'm definitely still learning about gluten, but so far I'm not having any issues at all. I don't have a doctor to inform me about food allergies, but I know for a fact most processed foods aren't safe for me to eat.
  9. Some people think I have a celiac disease, but that's not true. I haven't had celiac disease for a long time and would never have developed this condition. My intestinal tract is very malleable, however, so I'm not afraid to eat eggs when I feel like it.
  10. I was wondering if your dad got it from any processed foods, or if he had celiac disease or something. Also, did they really feed their chickens with soy for the rest of the life cycle or something?
  11. It'd be terrible if they had to change the animals they had them raised on to an entirely different breed to create the feed for pigs and cows. Even though a large percentage of the country's cattle produce more methane than their beef counterparts, beef is often treated much differently by the food industry than its poultry cousins. Since the average beef cow has around 3.8 pounds of methane emitted into its urine per year, and the average chicken bird is around 7.4 pounds, a large portion of methane that can be directly deposited in the soil as a contaminant.
  12. The idea of feeding chickens to pigs and producing eggs to poultry has been around since the beginning of the industrial revolution, but the problem is that when chickens are raised in confined, intensive, confined production facilities, they are never allowed to feel the freedom of being raised for eggs for human consumption or even to enjoy a human diet.
  13. My guess is that chicken is treated just like any other grain or animal, but is never allowed to experience a life within the same industry and never allowed to experience a healthy diet or the freedom to be raised in a similar environment. As a result, it turns out that in the wild birds are actually pretty similar to chickens. Most meat-eating countries have laws which prevent or make life-threatening conditions impossible to keep meat-eating populations small. Even in the U.S., chicken is still classified as a wild bird, which means that many people eat it without thinking much about the welfare of the birds.
  14.  
  15. The question is, does anyone care? It'd be the first human eating foreign livestock and I'm sure they'd be shocked and outraged that it is legal in the United States, for better or worse. And even though it is legal in the United States, it's a horrible business. There were far fewer animals raised as livestock from 2006 to 2013 than during the same time period in the UK. And the situation is even worse in parts of India and Pakistan that have no laws or laws that allow people to eat animals.
  16.  
  17. And I'd be shocked to hear anyone criticize the chicken industry for using these massive amounts of water and fertilizer on huge scale farms, but it's all legal in the United States. And I'd be shocked to hear anyone criticize egg production for using so much pesticide and pesticide-exposed food on such a massive scale, but it's all legal in the United States. And I'd be shocked to hear anyone criticize farm animals and eating their flesh even though that's what was used to produce eggs when they were born. And I'd be surprised to hear anyone criticize chicken production and eating its flesh instead.
  18.  
  19. So these huge industries which are still illegal in many countries have very few laws prohibiting or making life fatal for consuming animal products. And that's when we begin to hear a lot about "dietary cancer."
  20.  
  21. Forget the politics—and even more importantly, what health, or environmental, or religious concerns we need to have. A study published by the British Medical Journal this week shows that eating animal protein during pregnancy and lactation was linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in pregnant women at risk for the disease.
  22.  
  23. Which is why if you want to eat chicken and egg products, there's no need to live in a cage. Even the United States, even the United Kingdom, if you want to eat the products. And unless you're a vegetarian, unless you eat eggs and meat, there's no reason you should.
