QUESTION: I would like to know your views on animal farming
Zoe,
Animal farming, such as intense factory farming is one of the most inhumane and hidden atrocities ever bestowed on living, sentient beings.
To get an idea of what these animals endure, please see: http://www.meat.org/video-2.asp
I think that the human race will one day realize that we are barbaric in our treatment of fellow beings and that vegetarianism will solve most of these problems.

Expertise
I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
