    PETA

    PETA’s goal is that we all stop consuming animals entirely. If tomorrow scientists found a way to breed a cow that had no negative impact on the environment I can guarantee you that PETA would find another reason why cows should not be eaten. So it’s hard to trust too much they say knowing what their ultimate agenda is – they’ve got their blinders on when it comes to solutions.

    That said –we can probably all agree that most Americans eat way too much meat and that we’d all do well to know where our food comes from and at what cost. Personally I think buying organically, locally and eating meat in moderation is the way to go.
