Do you ever find yourself indulging in a meat feast and wondering how
the animal made its way to your plate?

Kill It, Cook It, Eat It returns to uncover the facts about how meat
is prepared in the UK for our dining table - and this time, we focus
on the slaughter of young animals.

Veal, milk-fed lambs, kid goats and suckling pigs are slaughtered
regularly in UK abattoirs to feed a small but growing appetite for
younger, more succulent meat. As a nation of animal lovers, the public
may not want to acknowledge that animals are taken from their mothers
while theyre still suckling, but it does take place.

The series demonstrates the whole process

One of the most famous anatomists, Baron Cuvier, wrote:
The natural food of man, judging from his structure, appears to
consist principally of the fruits, roots, and other succulent parts
of vegetables. His hands afford every facility for gathering them;
his short but moderately strong jaws on the other hand, and his
canines being equal only in length to the other teeth, together with
his tuberculated molars on the other, would scarcely permit him
either to masticate herbage, or to devour flesh, were these
condiments not previously prepared by cooking.
..
Linneaus, who introduced binomial nomenclature (naming plants
and animals according to their physical structure) wrote: Mans
structure, external and internal, compared with that of other
animals shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his
natural food.

Dr. F.A. Pouchet, 19th century author of The Universe, wrote
in his Pluralite de la Race Humaine: It has been truly said that
Man is frugivorous. All the details of his intestinal canal, and
above all his dentition, prove it in the most decided manner.

Professor William Lawrence, FRS, in his lectures delivered at
the Royal College of Surgeons in 1822, said:

The teeth of man have not the slightest resemblance to those of
the carnivorous animals, excepting that their enamel is confined
to the external surface. He possesses, indeed, teeth called canine;
but they do not exceed the level of others, and are obviously
unsuited to the purposes which the corresponding teeth execute
in carnivorous animals. Thus we find, whether we consider the
teeth and jaws, or the immediate instruments of digestion, that the
human structure closely resembles that of the apes, all of whom,
in their natural state, are completely herbivorous (frugivorous).

Professor Charles Bell, FRS, wrote in his 1829 work, Anatomy,
Physiology, and Diseases of the Teeth: It is, I think, not going
too far to say that every fact connected with the human
organisation goes to prove that man was originally formed a
frugivorous animal. This opinion is derived principally from the
formation of his teeth and digestive organs, as well as from the
character of his skin and the general structure of his limbs.

Professor Richard Owen, FRS, in his elaborate 1845 work,
Odontography, wrote: The apes and monkeys, whom man
nearly resembles in his dentition, derive their staple food from
fruits, grain, the kernels of nuts, and other forms in which the
most sapid and nutritious tissues of the vegetable kingdom are
elaborated; and the close resemblance between the
quadrumanous and the human dentition shows that man was,
from the beginning, adapted to eat the fruit of the tree of the
garden.
..
Man, by nature, was never made to be a carnivorous animal,
wrote John Ray, FRS, nor is he armed for prey or rapine, with
jagged and pointed teeth, and claws to rend and tear; but with
gentle hands to gather fruit and vegetables, and with teeth to
chew and eat them.

According to Dr. Spenser Thompson, No physiologist would
dispute with those who maintain that men ought to have a
vegetable diet.

Dr. S.M. Whitaker, MRCS, LRCP, in Mans Natural Food: An
Enquiry, concluded, Comparative anatomy and physiology
indicate fresh fruits and vegetables as the main food of man.

More recently, William S. Collens and Gerald B. Dobkens
concluded: Examination of the dental structure of modern man
reveals that he possesses all the features of a strictly herbivorous
animal. While designed to subsist on vegetarian foods, he has
perverted his dietary habits to accept food of the carnivore. It
is postulated that man cannot handle carnivorous foods like the
carnivore. Herein may lie the basis for the high incidence of
arteriosclerotic disease.

Furthermore, William C. Roberts, M.D., Professor and Director
of the Baylor University Medical Center, and Editor in Chief of
the American Journal of Cardiology, stated in this peer-reviewed
journal,

Thus, although we think we are one and we act as if we are one,
human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to
eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains
cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings,
who are natural herbivores.[11]

Volume 66, P. 896. 1 Oct, 1990 .

property.htm

There appears to be no threshold of plant-food enrichment or
minimization of fat intake beyond which further disease prevention
does not occur. These findings suggest that even small intakes of
foods of animal origin are associated with significant increases in
plasma cholesterol concentrations, which are associated, in turn,
with significant increases in chronic degenerative disease mortality
rates. - Campbell TC, Junshi C. Diet and chronic degenerative
diseases: perspectives from China. Am J Clin Nutr 1994 May;59
(5 Suppl):1153S-1161S.

This conversation is almost as distasteful as listening to pedophiles
bragging about what they do for fun!

I guess given the characters involved there are no surprises. Its
just one day it would be nice to hear you getting pleasure from doing
something *normal* for a change!

My greatest speech to the peasants

pam the SPAMMERS send an email to enquires@urfreesim.co.uk



England / Angelic Upstarts

The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt
In the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country has been so great
The stories Britannia could tell

I never want to live my life
Away from the golden shores
Theres never a country in the world
With the scent of an English rose

England oh England a country so great
A land thats so fair and so true
Therell never be any colours like
The red the white and the blue

Whenever you go to a far off land
Theres something goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love that comes
For your mother of red white and blue

You could never be born under a flag thats like
The one of the Union Jack
St.Georges spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back
