New studies out of Austria show that a vegan diet is not healthy. There are certain nutrients only available through animal products and non-meat eaters have a higher incidence of cancer, are less emotionally stable, are subject to more allergies, on and on. Man actually requires a “balance” of meat and other foods for optimum health. If people get “cancer” from eating animal, I suggest it’s not the meat per se but what the animal is fed or injected with.

As if McDonald’s in CR sells a lot of fresh pork. I don’t think so.

22-14 is how many more years?? Stop this insanity yesterday,immediately. How is this legal? Those who eat pork are indirectly responsible for this and it will not REALLY end until YOU stop buying these poor animals dead flesh.

You want to help this cause… Don’t eat animal products. For God’s sakes people there is something known as “evolution.” Forget about the animals for a moment… If you knew what eating all of those animal products was truly doing to your health you wouldn’t go near it. Mother Nature wasn’t planning on us eating this stuff that’s why folks are getting cancer and all kinds of other goodies. I know that many of us are conditioned to think that we can’t live without our dead flesh but those who conditioned you are the ones who are going bring down this whole house of cards.

Hold it folks, McDonald’s seems to be stepping up to the plate on this one. Presumably other pork sellers are buying the same pigs, so you wouldn’t boycott McDonald’s for raising the standards for itself and setting a standard for the industry as a whole. McDonald’s might just be the good guy here (although it may be a fairly easy crusade for them since most of their business is in cows and raising the issue of pigs may actually help the hamburger business).

“…commitment by McDonald’s to end the use of gestation crates in its U.S. supply chain by 2022.”

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Not even close. There is no excuse for this torture. These corporations need to be boycotted across the board. Animals can’t stand up for themselves – it’s our responsibility. This industrial model of agriculture is sick. We need to change.

These are abominable living conditions for any animal, much less pigs, which rank among the most intelligent (more intelligent than dogs). This practice should be stopped immediately, not two years from now. People of conscience should boycott the golden arches.
