PETA opens wallet for cruelty-free cancer promotion
PETA is offering $1 million dollars to any scientist who can grow lab-raised meat that costs the same as chicken and is indistinguishable in taste and texture.
I’ve always been confused by animal rights vegans who are willing to throw the health problems associated with meat consumption into their presentations, but when all is said and done, as soon as animal cruelty is out of the picture, then the rest will sort of just disappear as irrelevant.
My path started with learning the health benefits of eating vegan, then I learned more about the environmental impact of animal agriculture, and I’ve also become far more compassionate in regard to animal rights. I’ve never taken them out of that order, though.
So, it doesn’t sit well with me to create new forms of animal protein, when studies have directly linked consumption of animal proteins with cancer promotion (Read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, I’m not the expert here. That book documents the biggest epidemiological study ever performed studying protein and cancer promotion, so go read it).
It works well with their narrow purpose, but it just seems they should have learned more about the other benefits of being vegan by now.
