I learned a personal record of two things today:2. In America, they feed antibiotics to livestock in order to make them fatter. (One more reason to follow Paul.)
America ain’t the only place that does that. They also feed people antibiotics.
They also give antibiotics to fruits and vegetables to make them grow bigger

Can you smile in any country’s passport? Doesn’t it distort your face slightly? I know in my one, I look very sad because I’m generally smiling so for me to be forced not to smile makes me sad 🙁
They feed antibiotics to livestock over here but luckily using antibiotics to fatten livestock been banned here and in the EU since 2006. Now they are only allowed to use it to treat sick animals yet still some farmers are using it as preventive measures to stop their animals from getting sick but more pressure is being put on them not to do so.
Chickens in the US have been breed to have three times the amount of white meat i.e. the breast, than they are meant to be. This has happened in just over 50 years, so chickens haven’t become adapted to being so fat. When they gain this weight so quickly, their feet and legs can’t grow strong enough to lift them so the chickens become crippled by their own weight, it’s pathetic.

I’m smiling in my pasaporte picture, but I wish I wasn’t. ):
And that video is from a movie I watched in health class in high school. It definitely is pathetic how they treat animals. ):

Unfortunately, that’s true. Food is no longer something you give your sweat and blood for– it’s just another product; you drive to the shop and you pull it off a shelf and you bring it home and if it spoils you’re concerned about the waste of money, not the waste of a life. There’s no connection to it.
That’s probably the most philosophical thing I’ve thought all day. Maybe the Roger Waters stuff is rubbing off on me.

Not only that, but there are so many euphemisms used for food that it emotionally distances them even more from what they’re really eating

If you really care then shop at a farm then they get paid to be good to animals and you get animals that you know. If you just sit and complain and not by animals then the farmers who are good to the animals and let you see what they do to them go under since no one is buying it.

Not true, massive corporations that shove s**t down their farm animals’ throats would realise that the public do not want their food being tortured, force-fed, pumped full of steroids and anti-biotics, caged and never seeing the sun or breathing fresh air in their lives, like many animals are being forced to now, if people stopped eating their cheap meat and switched to organic, freerange animals, where their area of origin is clearly indicated on the packaging.
If you really care you should just stop buying cheap, mass-produced meat from Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargill (who are a s**t company to humans as well as animals) and Smithfield Foods- those four companies own the majority of the world’s meat production…four companies.
If anything should be done, those big corporations should be forced to split into regional areas, where high quality standards should be put in place for the animals and workers so they don’t live absolutely horrendous lives that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy but seeing as they’re animals who can’t speak up for themselves the way they are being treated is ok….right? 
If we stopped large corporations from treating their animals horrendously, all for an extra bit of profit at the end of the year then there wouldn’t be a need for farms “that get paid to be good to animals”. It would be the normal and not abnormal like it is now.

Right now, one thing people can do on their own is go out and buy food from farms that have free range animals, On long island, their used to be a place where you can get your animals butchered and you can watch them do it. If you didn’t have an animal they had animals that they free ranged that you could pick from and get all the info of what they ate.
It went under cause no one cares and a lot of the people who do care go vegetarian.
The best way to stop them is to support alternatives, if the alternatives go big, then the large people will follow.

Offline Free range animals can, and usually are, fed and “matured” in more-or-less exactly the same way as caged farming. The only real difference between the two systems is that free-range are allowed outside space to roam.
I try, whenever possible, to buy organic, which – at least in the UK – has a very different set of legal requirements that have to be met. If you care about animal welfare then go organic. While not vegetarian, I’m happy to say I don’t eat meat every day because I try to buy better quality meat that has been allowed a much more natural life and growth period.

Online John Lennon had a stamp collection.
http://www.rollingstone.com/mu…..n-20160301
Beatles fans and philatelists alike will be able to view John Lennon ‘s childhood stamp collection during the World Stamp Show in New York City, May 28th through June 4th.
According to the Smithsonian National Postal Museum — which first housed Lennon’s stamps in 2005 — the budding musician began collecting stamps after his older cousin, Stanley Parkes, gifted him a partially filled in album. Over the years, Lennon filled the book with stamps taken from letters sent from the United States and New Zealand.
When the National Postal Museum first purchased Lennon’s “lost album,” late curator Wilson Hulme did note to Smithsonian Magazine that the collection did not boast any notable stamps. “Typically, young boys aren’t interested in rarity,” he said. “They tend to concentrate on geography and colors. If they come back to collecting when they have more time and money, that’s when collections become exceptional.”
Still, the album does offer a unique insight into Lennon’s childhood, and perhaps his budding wanderlust and creativity: The book’s title page features a reprinted stamp emblazoned with Queen Victoria and King George VI — on their likenesses, Lennon doodled a mustache and beard, respectively.
Held every 10 years, the World Stamp show will be take place at the Javits Event Center in Manhattan. Admission is free, and doors open May 28th at 10:30 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. ET; from the 29th through June 4th, show hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET.

And we all know John collected better stamps than Paul and in a much better way.

Oh quiet you, we all know George’s stamp collection was far superior than John and Paul’s, it’s just that they bragged more about theirs than poor George

Right! John and Paul had actually started collecting collaboratively before George joined the band. He started collecting, slowly at first, but improving all the time.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.
