Question

They've put our lives at risk is anybody still eating Turkey?
Can abbatoirs and animal slaughterers really be trusted. Turkeys with Bird flu. Cows with BSE..Chickens with Salmonella.

Sausages made with embryos, tumors, cancer, eyes, excrement, urine and steroids...How can they expect us to eat this stuff?

Give us safe food...or we'll go vegetarian.

Answer 1

I think you should go veggie, its the only safe option.

All the evidence about meat, the way animals are treated and the contents of the meat is freely available. Meateaters generally do not care. If you did, you would force the industry to change. You all seem to prefer to spend your money on cheap meat that can only be reared in appauling conditions.

I don't think a case of bird flu will do anything to open all those narrow minded people who just bury thier head in the sand over the way they pay for all this cruelty, pain, torture and abuse of animals.

Jizzumonkey has the answer. Its so simple i'm baffled why people don't see it.

Answer 2

confident, i'm nonetheless eating turkey (and a lot of alternative meats) yet I take my time to study which businesses are greater believe worth. I additionally shell out the extra funds to purchase the animals that have not been pumped crammed with steroids and whatnot. I truthfully have considered going vegetarian, and if i won't be in a position to locate the honest manufacturers mutually as buying, i do no longer consume meat that week.

Answer 3

I am a vegan!! This avian 'flu outbreak was my BIG TFI vegan moment!! They put rotting meat in disinfectant to extend the shelf live and they cut the tumours off chickens. Do you think that slaughtered animal food could ever be clean anyway ? They are just in it for profit and don't care about technicalities like faeces ,urine and tumours get in the way. Read or watch 'Fast food Nation' the book is by Eric Schlosser !! Still want to supersize?

Answer 4

Yeah, you read Fast Food Nation, didn't you?

I know how you feel. Ugh. That book was such a wake-up call! And it's not just people who eat meat who are at risk--it's the slaughterhouse workers and animals who are mistreated, all for the sake of more profit for the slaughterhouse owners.

What a horrible, disgusting travesty! Humane treatment means safe food. And it's not even hard or expensive! It might cost a bit more, but how can you put a price on healthy food? It's not OK to cut corners and put out sub-standard meat and then let people die from eating it.

It's supposed to be food! Why are people getting poison?

It's so WRONG!!!!

Answer 5

Did you see the barns those poor birds were kept in? I'm not vegetarian but have cut down on how much meat I eat and save up to buy better free range meat from reputable suppliers (I do check). I don't buy processed pre packaged hams etc and read the ingredients. Cant believe they have given the all clear so quick, thinking back handers somewhere along the line. Supermarkets buy cheap ripping of farmers, big producers sacrifice animal welfare and quality for profit and we buy into it. Be selective in what you buy and don't be swayed by cheap prices ultimately its our health at stake.

Answer 6

Actually, I'm not eating Turkey, but that's because I only eat Turkey at Christmas. By the time I've gone through Christmas Dinner, Left over Christmas Dinner, Turkey Sandwiches, Turkey Curry, Turkey a la King....etc., if I never see another Turkey until next Christmas, It'll be too soon! However, I do think we panic too easily, driven by the tabloid headlines. I am told by my daughters, both of whom are science students at university, (and one of whom is a vegetarian) that the easiest way to catch Bird flu is to take a known infected bird, and drink a pint or two of it's blood. Even I, who like my steaks rare, would draw the line at that!!! And, at the end of the day, bird flu is only flu. Sorry, you tabloid writers, it's not AIDS or Ebola. It has, so far, caused a handful of deaths, regrettable though they may be, in the Far East, where, presumably, medical treatment is relatively unavailable. Sorry, guys, but it does not yet qualify as an epidemic, let alone a pandemic. You'll have to think of another headline for tomorrow to sell your papers!

Answer 7

Clearly not...neither can the ministry of agriculture and all connected with this particular type of so called 'food chain'
I this was a regulary industry it would have been shut down years ago and all concerned with it imprisoned for fraud...including past and the present ministers. If consistently delivers dangerous products and resolutly refuses to seriously examine other more 'human tollerant' types of nutrition.

Answer 8

We are animals, just of higher intelligence. We are ruining all the other animals lives by destroying the envirionment in either an extremist or subtle/every day life way. My personal opinion of Bird flu is how can brids get flu? and how do you know. walk into the chicken hutch and ones wrapped in a towel, feet in hot water, cup'a'soup in wing, shivering???
Hehe just dont be so paranoid!

Answer 9

I am not panicking just yet but I do wonder whether Gov. policy is more about protecting the interests of the producers than public safety.

Answer 10

i dont know where you buy your food but id start lookin somewhere else if thats all you can get. frankly i dont like turkey, though i did get the privlege to eat a wild turkey that a friend of mine killed just for thanksgiving. they cooked it like you would a store bought but it was sooooo much better. other than that i wont eat turkey. use common sense when buying meat and more importantly, storing what youve just bought. freeze immediatly upon returning from your grocery. if meat doesnt have a USDA stamp on it somewhere or if you didnt kill it yourself, dont eat it. like i said use common sense. a little goes a long way, ya know
