A Meat-Free Christmas


I got this cutting from my local paper. To be honest I find it a bit sickening when people mention Christmas turkey and certainly give it a miss. However there is another problem and that is that plants are live too.

Cleve Backster did polygraph tests on plants and found that they responded, even to being shouted at. Also plants apparently faint when they are cut or chopped down so that they do not feel the pain.

Unfortunately virtually everything a human eats, even stuff like sugar, comes from life. Doors are often made from wood, as is furniture, so if you have wood in your house that is from life too.

Just because plants and trees do not react in the same way as livestock it doesn't mean that they do not feel fear or pain. To be totally humane we would have to develop synthetic food and homewares that had nothing to do with either animals,birds, fish OR plants.
