From: Burkie on 6 Jan 2007 16:20 Dear Geoff: We have never met, but the tacit reaction to "go veggie" is yours, not mine. I'll die and go to heaven having whatever meat I want to eat. That's not to say, I don't disagree with your position of choice....it's your choice. So don't make me feel threatened by your comments, because I am not. Granted, you have your choice, I have mine, but you try to thrust your opinions and comments on a group of people , here, that are trying to make a living producing food for the Public. Companies like Perdigao, Sadia, Smithfield and your retailers must think good of you, because your insistence upon a veg diet still requires you to patronize some of them as your source. Why attempt to discredit honest, hard-working livestock producers? Or is that your fetal attempt to do so? Must make you feel good. Must make veggie's taste better to you, knowing you are trying to destroy other people's livings. But that's easy for you to come off on those that have made significant investments in facilities and equipment, who try to comply with the non-sensical EU rules in your country, then buy produce imported from who-knows-where. I have an attitude, but it doesn't agree with yours.
