  • "Fair Trade" Does Not an Ethical Chocolate Bar Make

    I suppose everything is organic and recyclable.  Even after a nuclear war, time would render everything back to normal eventually.   But do we have to go through one nuclear war after another forever?  What about the soul?  It is eternal and has nothing to do with nuclear wars or even recycling.  Allowing animals to live out their full natural lives is more conducive to understanding eternal nature.  Simple living and high thinking is far better than modern technology.

    It should be mentioned that milk cow culture originally was intended for producing milk,cream, butter, yogurt, curd, etc.  It wasn't intended for producing meat.  The milk cow produces more milk than her calf needs IF we feed her a small amount of extra grain supplement, such as corn, barley, oats, etc.  This extra milk we can take and satisfy ourselves with it.  When the cow and the ox (meant for plowing) and the bull are allowed to live out their natural life, then human society benefits in so many ways.  There are many things cows do for us even after their "working" years are over.  Do we kill our mother and father when they are too old to "work" for us anymore?  The cow and the bull are considered the mother and father of human society because they give us milk and plow the fields, thus producing food.  Should we then kill them?  This killing tendency ruins everything.  If you have excess animals, don't breed any more until you need them.  This is responsible animal husbandry.  Killing is unnecessary.

    Yes.  It must be admitted that even the "organic" dairies send most of the animals, sooner or later, to the slaughterhouse.  Apparently, people think it more "economic" to kill the animals, rather than to pasture them until the natural end of life.  This latter alternative is, of course, conducive to a slower, more natural lifestyle, and most people  simply don't have the patience for it.  We would rather spend time sitting on jammed freeways and watching senseless violence on TV instead of doing the things that give life meaning, like gardening and contemplating the real meaning of life.
