We rarely eat meat in our house. I really think Americans need to rethink their diets, especially in regards to meat. There is just NO need to eat the amount of it that we do. It's just not healthy, and even less so when you consider how much of it is factory farmed.

But the main problem is, so many people here are so busy working, etc. that they no longer think about what they're eating. In order to get people to eat less meat, sugar, transfatty acides, etc. there has to be an attitude change in how much time/thought we put into our food.

IMO, PETA goes too far and really works against itself. But if they can help bring about a more humane and healthy approach to animal farming, everyone will benefit.
