Imagine what it would be like to be a vegetable. You are sitting quietly in the place where you live, the place where you have lived your entire life in complete harmony with the earth. You have everything you could possibly wish for. Suddenly, an enormous hand rips you out of your comfortable place. The betrayal is made even worse by the fact that this same hand is the one that brought you water all through the heat of the summer, that fed you when the soil nutrients were poor.
Once you have been ripped from your home, you are forced to bathe in cold water. Then you are laid, utterly naked, on a sterile white board. You see the flashing of a large gleaming knife as it dismembers you piece by piece, starting at your toes and working its way up your body. Fluids ooze out of you as the pain mounts. The last thing you see is the blade coming down on your head.
This is the sad, short, and painful life of a vegetable in our supposedly health-conscious society. Of course, not all vegetables end up like this. If they�re lucky, they get to decay, forgotten in the bottom of the refrigerator. No one knows when they lose consciousness as the molds slowly infest their chilly bodies, gradually turning them to mush.
Shocked? You should be. Vegetables have feelings too, and yet they are raised in inhumane conditions, forced to live outside in dirt and mud, and, in even the best of organic gardens, allowed only manure to eat.
Vegetables are supposed to be healthy food, but what kind of health can you get from eating vegetables? Even nutritionists admit that meat is higher in protein and grains are higher in carbohydrates than most vegetables. Supposedly vegetables are valuable for their vitamin content. But any one of us can walk into a grocery store and buy vitamins that are derived from non-vegetable, cruelty-free sources.
End the madness now! Stop eating your vegetable brothers and sisters! Support vegetable rights! (We have animal rights and mineral rights, why neglect vegetable rights?)
yes, i was being sarcastic.
but it’s based on real thoughts. although i can prove them wrong now.
1.vegetables can’t process pain, because they don’t have a brain to do so. they don’t have nerves either.
2.vegetables can’t see a gleaming knife coming at their toes and slowly dismembering them since they don’t have eyes.
3.vegetable rights is real and is complete bull shit.
Ok so a local restaurant is selling organic food but is really selling none organic, isn’t that falls advertisement? And if so what is the best way to rat on this place keeping in mind the owner is the scum of the earth and he treats his workers like sh** and really needs to be taken down what is the best coarse of action to take?
Sorry for the misspelling. And yes I am out to get the son of a B*** and so is half the people I know he is as I already stated scum. And he really is selling false organic food.
Whenever our neighbors drain their pool, we have a stream of water from the pool running through the middle of our backyard, and exiting our property falling into a ditch that collects water. The neighbors’ lot is higher than ours is so that makes the water flow through our land. We are very concerned because we have planted an organic garden this year, and we are scared to even think what kind of chemicals we exposed our plants to (some pool cleaning chemicals can be pretty bad for the environment and humans in general). It is also ruining our property turning the soil where the water runs into wetlands, always wet patches of dirt. We are relatively new home-owners (it’s been 2.5 years), and we never raised this issue with our neighbors but now we have new neighbors moved in that house, and they have been flooding our property for two days now that they are fixing their pool.
What can we do about it?
Can we require them by law to not do it (we live in Manassas, VA) without suing them?
If we were to talk to them about it, what are we to say? We can’t simply tell them not to drain their pool, right?
Thanks for the answers!
I’m torn on this topic,
On one hand the language is so vague and there is the specter of Monsanto hanging over this bill, that it could be used to target small organic farms (especially if they have the right guy in the right bureaucratic position.
On the other hand, I am asking myself really, the government is putting this together so then can go raid Ma and Pa’s tomato garden? Democrats who rely on environmentalist to get elected? I’m not convinced that targeting of the local organic farms was the intent of this bill.
Can Monsanto take my single family residence in the city for having a garden and not knowing where the seeds came from that were bought on ebay? I am afraid that by trying to save money on groceries, feed my family healthy organic home grown vegetables, and showing my children how vegetables are grown, I will in fact be losing the roof over our heads. Is there a safe country to move to where people live freely without losing everything to attorneys and big companies or government?
