Nice post. I learn one thing more difficult on completely different blogs everyday. It’s going to all the time be stimulating to read content from different writers and observe a little bit something from their store. I’d favor to make use of some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

That was a mature assesment. I’m sure this had nothing to do with the fact that over a quarter of the people in san francisco are vegetarians as it is, and that the local politicians dicided to pander to a particular interest group for their own benefit.
This resolution doesn’t even make eating or selling meat on mondays illegal. Did you even watch the video?

And you can go right ahead and do that. I’m sure Mr. Carter Nguyen (the organic beef salesmen in the video) will have no trouble pointing you in the direction of bacon, since this resolution does not make it illegal for him to do so. All this resolution does is ask nicely (and financially support) businesses, restaurants, and schools to offer alternatives meals to meat-based ones. Some stores may sell veggie instead of meat burgers all together, but I doubt it. They’ll probably sell both just for monday (since they probably don’t want to buy the other product to make the food for everyday). Many businesses, schools, and restuarants may simply not participate.

Honestly, am I the only one that even bothered to watch the video or read the news on ABC?

Eating meat and smoking cigarettes aren’t trivial things. I really don’t care that you value life so little that you would slowly kill yourself and say that people are born to die, so it doesn’t matter that people do unhealthy and wrong things.

Nevertheless, eating meat and the factory farming industry, as well as the making and smoking of cigarettes takes a big toll on the environement. Everyone has to share the environment, and blessed individualism isn’t more important than everybody else wanting a safe environment to live in. This is a concept some libertarians and conservatives seem unable to grasp. It’s called Democracy. As for factoy farming (they way most people in developed countries are able to get meat from the store, as it is today) is not only bad for the environment but it is brutal and cruel to animals. If only you knew that the bacon on your plate is likely a sow who was tied down, unable to walk, in a very small crate and had to bare that some of her children were trampled to death by the male pigs in the same crate, and that they were able to enter her at will. She never saw daylight and she was contantly breathing the fumes of toxic waste and pig feces. There is video evidence of this on many whistle blowing websites, other than just PETA. One site that does this is on http://www.whistleblowers.org, known for whistle blowing on a number of topics, and WikiLeaks.

Did anyone else bother to pay attention to the part where the woman in the video said that this resolution does not mandate or require meatless mondays (in other words, it is not a law). The resolution is about “urging you to give meatless mondays a try”. In other words, san francisco is probably giving a small subsidy or temporary fund to support advertisements and owners of vegetarian and vegan businesses in the area. Is this really such a big deal? The urban areas of California already have a pretty big vegan and vegetarian population, so this is just a natural outgrowth. It probably has to do with some pandering to a certain group of people because the same politicians and organizations hope to garner their support. This isn’t anything new, all politicians, NGOs, and interest groups do it and it’s a strategy that has been arond for centuries. It is nothing to get alarmed at. People in san franciso can still eat meat without going to jail, and your own state and city probably won’t support the idea anyways. Do you bacontodayers honestly think that this particular instance is some sort of threat? Or do you have something against the sustainable agriculture movement and health-food industries?

CALLING ALL BACON-LOVING SAN FRANCISCANS:

Ride the Bacon Freedom Train to the North! We loves our bacon north of the 49th. Almost as much as we love our beavers.

They’re fond of demonstrations there… they probably just ran out of reasons for more protests in the street and are hoping the baconites band together in solidarity and march into Berkeley.

And, yes, a day without bacon is like a duck without water!
