Hi,
I had a question about using cow manure as fertilizer. I have seen some slightly conflicting rules as to the use of manure. Specifically, does the manure need to be composted for the typical 2-3 months before being used?

Some sources have referred to using "fresh" manure. I thought there was a requirement for farms to have livestock separated from any food crop because of the worry about getting food contamination from the animals. Can you clarify?

Thanks

If it’s the inhumanity of slaughter houses that bother most vegetarians, what’s wrong with hunting? Just because someone is not a vegetarian doesn’t mean they condone poor slaughter habits/processes. But is it viewed by vegetarians to be wrong to obtain your own food (meats, not a veggie garden) through self sufficiency? If that (slaughterhouse issues) is one’s reasoning for being vegetarian, why go all the way rather than (for example) eat your neighbor’s venison?
I have chosen (what I feel) to be a healthier way of life (for me), not being boxed into what everyone else thinks is right or wrong. I eat meat, seafood, poultry, lots of veggies; but nothing in excess. I am a realist, not extremist. I know of some veggies that won't eat things cooked on the same skillet as burgers and such. Please help me understand the extreemist attitude against all meat eating without beating me up for it. I've found I must walk lightly in this catagory or I get nasty remarks.

consume no animal products in his presence. I don't know how I could ask my wife and kids to abstain from milk with there breakfast, or meat with there dinner, for an entire week. We have not seen this relative in years, and would like to see him, but I think his request is unreasonable. He's even told us that if we go out to a resturant for dinner that he would not be able to tolerate watching my family consume any animal products. What am I to do? Is his request unreasonable?

We are supposed to bring in a International dish. But I am not a good cook and 90% of the families are not from the US so there parents are going to bring in great international meals. I am a Vegitarian and would love to bring in a great Vegitarian meal that kids and other non-vegitarian adults would like. Any suggestions?

Like some sad people do in this section.
Now please understand your Answers are fine to be opinionated but for me NOT the question.
Also I truly respect Veggies and Vegans for your nobel life choices and USED to admire your way of life.

Where do you come off saying you love animals when the products you choose to wear on your feet that are made from petroleum causes more harm to the animals ecosystem by the drilling and manufacture of toxic waste plus the fact those shoes do not biodegade. When leather is a byproduct of animals killed for food, does not pollute the ecosystem and are biodegradable.

There is a court case charging vegan parents with murder for killing thier child with a vegan diet. Science can prove thier child did die from malnutrition as a result of it's diet. Do you agree this is murder?

What do eggs have to do with it? It's not like your killing an animal when your eating them.

Many soy products are made to mimic the texture and flavor of real meat. They seem to sell well in the stores so I assume many Veggies and Vegans are buying them. Does this mean that they really wish they were eating a meaty burger/taco/or whatever the product of choice is? And if so, is that not hypocritical and self deprivation?

Pros and cons please. And why can't a vegan have milk & cheese? It's not like you have to kill the animal to get them. I was on an Atkin's kick... now I've considered going vegan... crazy huh?

My neighbor came back from a fishing trip the other day and I noticed he had caught over his limit (I went online and read about limits, etc.) and I also noticed he had caught a large mud turtle (you have to have a special license to catch turtle). Should I contact the authorities about him?

why do you still eat it? You know it's not all that healthy, too. Do you just not care? Does it taste too good? Do you hate animals? What? I'm doing it for a survey....please help?

Am I the only one who gets sick when you see someone eating meat? It just makes my stomach turn when I think of a dead animal carcus going into someone's body! People who eat meat are living graveyards for dead animals, gross!

When the dairy industry has such close connections to the veal industry?

Cows have to be calved on a regular basis in order for cows to continue to produce milk. Those calves are then killed to produce veal.

So why is drinking milk any different from eating meat?

What do you do to get your protein and stay healthy? I'm am a quasi-vegetarian. I don't eat red meats or chicken. I do, however, eat seafood only because I didn't want to make my lifestyle choice difficult on my significant other and my parents (i.e.: inviting me to dinner, etc)... also this gives me more options when we go out to eat. Anyway, any health tips are welcome! I usually stick to veggies, rice and beans.

Alright, I'm going to start this question out by saying that I am a vegetarian and I am pro-choice.

Well in my Biology class we are going to dissect a fetal pig and I don't want to because I consider it animal cruelty even if they were put to death peacefully. My issue is if I am pro-choice then shouldnt I be alright with the dissection since it is still a fetus?

I'm kind of confused with my own beliefs right now, so if anyone understands my issue and has some sort of reply it would be great!

I recently became a vegetarian and I'm having trouble finding food that doesn't include meat. I'm having the same meals every day.

Note: I do not eat seafood. I do eat eggs.

I remember, years ago, reading something somewhere about an old Irish tradition of soaking oats in milk or water and leaving them that way overnight, whereupon in the morning the cooking time wouldn't be so long, and, more importantly, the oats would be much more assimilable and healthy. Is there any truth to this? I eat oats and mixed-grain flakes often enough, being Celtic in ancestry, so I want to make sure I'm getting the most caloric and nutritional bang for my bites. Maybe you've done some soaking of grains yourself? Thanks in advance.
