Actually, let me restate again, but this change the inflection.
ANIMALS
Yes, some/many/most of the huge
meat farms don't give a toss about the care of the animal in question.
After all, they will soon be out of their misery, and in my casserole dish, so really, what should it matter? I'm sure
this is the point of view of most people
in the trade, from
chicken farms, to
turkey farms, to
cattle farms. They raise animals solely to use for food.
I never said it was how
I thought, but how those in the trade might think.

Again, by my partaking in buying only organic fruits and vegetables, I abolutely do not encourage the use of chemical pesticides. And because I choose not to fill my body with the decaying flesh of rotting animals, I do not have anything to do with the cruel mistreatment of animals.

Just as there are organically 'pure', pesticide-free veggie gardens, so are there smaller, even substantial-sized, organic free-range chicken farms that
do not mistreat their stock. But the doesn't mean that the other, darker side of both veggies and meat don't exist.
Sure, we can do our individual best to make sure we make choices that we can live with, but the vast majority will not care, and so the slaughterhouses and pesticides will continue. *shrug*
I won't even get into the argument you ended with, about how we 'just happened' to get to the top of the food chain. That, to me, is not even worth pursuing.
Give me a burger, fries, and let me wash it down with some sweet iced tea, and I'll be a happy camper.
PS, the battle of wits comment. You took that entirely out of context as well. I wasn't expecting an argument or tirade from anyone. It was merely a little quip meant to draw out a chuckle and to kind of nudge people against throwing a fit.
