@Amit: You serious? Did you actually go through killing the poor little thing?

Well, I do use some eggs for baking, though I don't feel too happy about that 'cause of conditions on chicken farms. :/

Yeah, I think if we were honest about where meat comes from it would change how we feel about it.

I want to switch to vegetarian....I raised my own lambs for meat. It was an experience.

@Amit: My dread for the future simply went away! Carry on oil-depleting mess of a world!

It's shocking what we do to chickens over almost all the other farmed animals actually...really horrible

How can you make fried chicken without oil?

Amit Dutta

electricity is a lot easier to handle in an fossil fuel depleted world than transport though

Lots of things might be going away

13 Jul 20:55

Mechanizoid

From what I hear, though, once oil reserves start getting depleted our days of cheap air travel may being going away.

Yeah it's all based on profit now.

The idea of globalism is fine, the mechanism and drive behind it is totally selfish

13 Jul 20:54

Mechanizoid

It's the drum beating and "us vs. them" attitudes that are the problem.

13 Jul 20:54

Mechanizoid

Yeah, I don't agree with the kind of globalism that would have us destroy our unique cultural identities.
