@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO One error, regulations are not legislation, it is a circumvention around legislation. Regulation in it’s current state completely violates our rule of law, but we allow it.

Salatin should inspire us to change bad legislation, not to abolish the whole concept of legislation. The way I see it he says we got to work hard to make sure bad regulations are replaced, not that if we end all regulations then everything will magically turn out right.

@cathysueraymond The negative comments are another example of the super-prissy nature of people these days. Let them eat over processed crap and watch CNN. I like your video and admire Joel Salatin. Good job.

It is called United Nations Agenda 21. The U.N. wants to control all air, water, food and money. And the last 4 presidents have signed on to this agenda. It is referenced in the ‘Food Safety Act’.

Go away, vegan whiners. Eat all the plants you want and enjoy your choice, but quit preaching at people who exercise their own choice to eat a natural, wholesome, and well-rounded diet that our bodies have been built to consume and have BEEN consuming for tens of thousands of years.

@NewYorkFlavour We can cite study after study and poo-poo them till hell freezes over, what a disgusting waste of time and energy. Veganism is an excellent slaughter-free diet. You want sources, here are your sources, up the wazoo, now please don’t interrupt me again with WPF meat advocate nonsense:

Important: The person who wrote the American Dietetic Association’s OLD position paper says that complementing proteins is “totally unnecessary.”

@1221solstice2012
That article has no sources cited, it’s all purely anecdotal. For example, it states: “Modern nutritionists, after observing populations…”, what nutritionists? The only name that is dropped is “Dr. Reed Mangels”, another quack with her own little vegetarian rag. Also, it makes the mistake of equating causation with correlation when it makes the claim that meat is behind the rise in cancer and heart disease over the past 50 years when there are many more factors involved.
