man alittle messed up but not messed up enough for me to give up Eggs Benedict in a holondaise with crab hash. Also if the video disturbs you go freerange. Couldn't agree more that the message at the end seems to negate the whole rest of the video. It would be nice to see something liek this without a message being pushed besides stopping cruelty to animals. Live a vegan life or you hate chicken little...you don't hate chicken little...do you?

That'll wipe out the low income altogether, they simply cease to exist after awhile, so for all you hobo's on the 10-14k a year, sorry, you're pretty much screwed. For the rest of you making more, the middle income sector of around 20-50k will be spending about half to third of your income on food if you continue to eat as you do now... hope you've still got enough for rent. You can forget about a little treat every now and then.

Yeah, that intensive agriculture is so terrible, unless you figure on going back to mixed conventional/intensive, subsistence agriculture where approximately 70-80% of the world ends up scratching out a living.
Sorry, can't go out tonight, got to get the fields tilled.
Woops, drought for 5 years in a row, some of you are going to die.

Consider the alternatives...


Thank you. This goes for organic and nonGE farming as well

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I make my omelettes I crack open a raw egg. I don't think I've ever used an actual chick.

every time you scratch your nose it's a holocaust of living things. nobody is really aware of it, because who gives a fuck. people only like these things because they're light & fluffy, like my eggs

Its like that grinder machine.
