there are definately still conflicts in food science and a lot to elucidate. I for one, stick away from red meat and thick meat (beaf, lamb, porc,etc.). The best animal protein according to Dr Hiromy Shinya (Pionner endoscopic surgeon) is cold water fish. All other animals have higher body temperature than us so their fat agglutinate when it goes in our stomach and arteries. Cold water fish, on the opposite, have lower body temperature than us, so their fats transform into oils in our body, which is more fluid and easier to digest and navigate in our blood. Dr Shinya emphasizes on Fishes such as salmon, macquarel, sardines, archi chars, trouts, which are high in good fats omega3.
Cows and beefs are scientifically known to be responsible of a lot of toxic gazes emissions in the atmosphere and unfortunately, their production is widely increasing in the world, especially in South America. i also think that the government and the SPCA should not care only about dogs and cats, but also about the animal food industry which have similar cruel ways to produce and give an unaceptable living condition to those animal that is then after distributed to human consumption. Cold raw cutting of of body parts (nose, tails) to agglutinate the more animal possible in one room to avoid fighting, no access to wild life, sun and grass, food not adapted to digestion but only use for rapid weight gain, anti-biotics, hormones, etc BUT... its Casher or Halal or governmemnt certified... its pretty sad. :frown: Organic farming has much better conditions and are more respectful of these living beings and environnement. I for one, can no longer make abstraction of this ethical difference.
