The absolute ONLY way to get people's attention is with shock these days. PETA knows it and that's why they do the things they do. Although, I didn't find the video shocking in the least. Just speaking the truth... sort of like the anti-cigarette ads of a few years ago.
People don't think about what they are eating. Plain and simple. Most people don't even equate that Big Mac to an animal. It's just "food".
Someone earlier said cows, chickens, turkeys aren't animals, they are food. Probably one of the most ignorant comments I've ever heard. The people who are the most vehemently against groups like PETA are usually the most ignorant. I know many non-vegetarians that support what PETA does. These people also understand where their food comes from and have made a conscience decision to eat it anyway.
The facts are there though... keep eating the chemically treated, cruelty supporting, antibiotic injected, "cheap meat" and watch your quality of health decline as has the quality of life declined for most of the United States over the past 50 years. Without big pharma cranking out drugs to support our sorry asses, the USA would have the life expectancy of many 3rd world countries, because of our addiction to "cheap food". How do you think you can buy ground beef for 99 cents a pound at costco?
And don't even get me started on what it's doing to our planet.
happy thanksgiving!
