The Holy Roller Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well that was a disappointment. She had some woman on who was trying to get her family to go vegan so Oprah got a reporter (Lisa Ling) to go to a Cargill processing plant in Colorado. They showed everything except the actual shooting of the bolt into the animals head and the bleeding out. Pretty interesting. My problem isn't in the processing so much as what they feed these animals before to get them so fat. One of the workerssaid they aim to get each aminal to gain 3 pounds per day on their ration which is mostly corn and corn byproducts. I am convinced that the beef we get from those animals cannot be good for us. Pasture fed and pasture finished beef is what's good for you. And I wholeheartedly agree with Yuk about getting your meat from a local farmer for a much better for you animal. As far as becoming a vegan...well, when I lose all my teeth, I'll think about it.
