The 'Code'...cracked

Just a quick something for you to consider...

When an animal is dead, its 'muscle' and 'flesh' is called 'meat'.
When a pig is dead, it is called 'ham' or 'pork'.
When a cow is dead, it is called 'beef'.
When a chicken is dead, its 'leg' is called a 'drumstick'.
When a force-fed goose is dead, its 'liver' is called 'fois gras'--a 'delicacy'.
And when a turkey is dead, it is called 'Thanksgiving dinner'.

Let me tell ya, I'm guessing that the turkey isn't feeling very thankful.

People need to realize that everyone has the capability to see animals as they really are--living, feeling beings who experience emotions just as we do. In an attempt to turn their heads to this fact so that they can continue to eat and exploit animals for their convenience, people must first turn them into mere 'objects'. That is, I think, why all the above terms for animal products exist at all--How appetizing would it be if you when to a restaurant and on the menu you saw the terms 'chicken corpse', or 'ground cow buttocks', or 'pig flesh'--it doesn't sound like something anybody would order, now does it? Yet people eat those exact things every day.

Don't be brainwashed. Think about what it actually is that you are putting into your body.
