Happy meat and happy days for America

And from the PETA forum - Quote: originally posted by MongoSykes, I know the talking point, "well they still do bad things to animals on farms." Dumb argument.

Duhhhhh, ya think?

"YUMMMMmmmminsertMMMMoreblahblahbahsheremmmmmmmm mmmMr. Loves a Good Barbeque!"--insertyucks=NOTfunnymrpresidenthere--who doesn't seem to care either as they are sweeping it under the rug so far as they always seem to do.

I am not buying it.

Just like Gore and Oprah, they can sit around with Obama and discuss the Health Care Crisis, Global Warming, and School Shootings over some happy meat at their fancy balls with their silver forks. And it is not like he doesn't know.

"The most violent weapon on earth is the table fork" Gandhi

"Even Barack Obama commented on the Agriprocessors ethical black hole on a campaign stop in Davenport, IA, remarking, "They have kids in there wielding buzz saws and cleavers. It's ridiculous."
http://veganschool101.blogspot.com/2008/11/melting-pot-in-hell.html

Yes, table forks, buzz saws and cleavers. It's ridiculous.

“All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing.” Nietzsche

Nietzsche, Warwak, and the World are calling you out Obama.

Time to go vegan.

It's not rocket science, connect the dots.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IDTXFRFbbE

I mean, if Warwak can do it, you certainly can. If I can, anyone can.

As long as public schools serve children milk and chopped-up animals for lunch, students will disrespect life. School shootings are a testament how well children learn respect, responsibility, and love from those they trust to care for them.

It is not just your forks, buzz saws and cleavers that bothers me Mr President. You are a robber of life.

SENATOR OBAMA: But if you talk to sportsmen in my home state of Illinois, they will tell you that I've always been a forceful advocate on behalf of the rights of sportsmen, on behalf of access for sportsmen and hunters. I've been somebody who, well before the recent Supreme Court case, stated my belief that the Second Amendment was an individual right.
http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2008/09/exclusive-interview-senator-barack-obama

DAVE WARWAK: I feel ill.

Meanwhile, we have it from the other end. Bend over while they stick it in a little farther.

KURTZ: Just briefly, both the "New Republic" and the "Washington Monthly" say you should run for president in 2004 as a Democrat. I know you're not going to do that. You've said you're going to stay in the Republican ...

MCCAIN: Vegetarian.

KURTZ: Vegetarian ticket?

MCCAIN: Yes.

KURTZ: But are you hypnotizing these people? Liberal magazines coming out for John McCain?

MCCAIN: I think you could define motives for that more than I can, but sometimes it's a way to keep circulation up.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0207/06/rs.00.html
Why all the resistance to change? In the end, it really comes down to a silly absurd irrational tradition/condition of "Hereditary Ignorance" that must be continued at all costs. What costs? Our children? Our future? Our humanity?

SENATOR OBAMA: The important point is that I am very mindful of the fact that sportsmen in America may have gone hunting with their fathers, their grandfathers, their mothers, their grandmothers, and that this is part of a tradition and a way of life that has to be preserved. And there's nothing that I will do as president of the United States that will in any way encroach on the ability of sportsmen to continue that tradition.
That is some messed up logic Mr. President! Incest and other forms of abuse have been passed down over the ages as well, ... from their fathers, their grandfathers, their mothers, their grandmothers. And your point is?

Just because a practice is tradition and a "way of life" has nothing to do with whether the crimes should be preserved over time or not. What does matter is, ... that they stop today.

"I think that having a head of the Department of Interior who doesn't understand hunting and fishing would be a problem," Obama

"I think that having a head of the Department of Interior who doesn't understand how wrong/unethical hunting and fishing really is, would be a huge problem. Even more problematic would be a President who didn't understand the great value of life and the pursuit of happiness" Warwak

So much for real change.

Are the things that matter most better with your "promise and hope" of great change, or are they in reality just empty words? The song remains the same.

This is the most pressing serious issue there ever was--a matter of life and death--that attacks the roots of most of our despair; the "big idea" that can't be tossed aside for some minor consideration given the gravity and late hour of our dilemmas.

Why argue it? We know how to use the internet and are not stupid. Murder is murder, plain and stupid as the happy meat on your plate Barack Obama.

Hunting; the practice of pursuing animals for food, recreation, or trade.
(A practice Obama proudly supports in his conviction to "not get involved" in abolition)

Humane; courteous or obliging towards humans and animals.
(Behaviors Obama casts aside in favor of his un-evolved world view)

I see no connection at all; however, I do see patterns. Patterns of apathy. Patterns of convenient hereditary ignorance. Patterns of sweeping things under the rug. Patterns of speciesism. Patterns of empty words. Patterns of disconnect. Patterns of selfishness. Patterns of slavery. Patterns of torture. Patterns of murder. Patterns of the holocaust. Patterns of moral bankruptcy.

Obama = Not humane

Warwak = Not satisfied

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it" Albert Einstein

"There's nothing that I will do as president of the United States that will in any way encroach on the ability of sportsmen to continue that tradition" Barack Obama

Obama delivered empty words to fool me into voting for him. Yes, I was fooled. How many more times will I fall for politicians who lie just for our votes?

"I think how we treat our animals reflects how we treat each other. It's very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty that is perpetrated on animals." Barack Obama

Insert more---blah, blah, blahs---here.

Actions, words, promises, and intentions are all very different concepts.

It is not a "personal choice" when you are eating my friends and you are ruining my world. When you made your "personal choice", did you ask the animal if you could confine, torture, and murder him or her? When you made your "personal choice", did you ask me if I mind all your pollution and devastation? My tax money subsidizes your "personal choice". Just because we personally make selfish choices does not make them "personal choices."

"Never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" Mahatma Gandhi

So much for greatness and moral progress.

Meat-eating is a dangerous activity. Margaret Mead wrote, “One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it”. Getting away with murder is a terrible thing in itself, rewarding children with happy meat and father and son "traditional" hunting trips is a crime against humanity. Obama guilty as charged.

Stop all your crying, it's time to take away your baby bottle (humans are the only species to drink milk beyond infancy) and your evil toys. You have been a very bad boy for the past 2500 years.

Evolve.

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson (1778)

Read Some Of The Reasons Why You May Qualify!

If Hell Really Does Exist, Most Humans In The World, Will Probably End Up There

By Arthur Poletti


Are you one of the millions of callous, unaware, delusional, brain dead, immune from empathy, ill-fated humans in the world that willingly and thoughtlessly condones and supports some or most of the massive, completely unnecessary hideous forms of never ending torture and brutal premature deaths of millions of precious creatures everyday?

The most repulsive, gruesome, unimaginable tragedy’s that happen everyday are overwhelmingly supported by most people in the world, including most religious and government leaders. The never ending worst possible kinds of completely unnecessary forms of cruelty and sufferings forced upon the innocent, helpless, animal race represent the worst crimes in history.

Wise up now! Do not be unwilling or reluctant to know the real truth. Become aware now of why you and those whom you love should not participate, support, promote, or condone any of the many different types of despicable and sickening forms of cruelty to animals.

“You might be shocked to know that in the United States alone approximately 660,000 animals are killed for meat every hour. A surprising quantity of animal flesh is consumed. In a 72 year lifetime, the average American consumes approximately 11 cattle, 3 lambs and/or sheep, 23 hogs, 45 turkeys, 1,100 chickens and 862 pounds of fish. Bon appetite!” Source: Himalayan Academy, California & Hawaii

“While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?” George Bernard Shaw

Please read the articles and view the videos listed below revealing some of the many man made disgustingly cruel forms of torture and death to millions of precious and irreplaceable animals every day and then ask yourself, “Do I really want to continue supporting any of this?” Ask yourself, “Do I really think that in the end I will get away with it?”

(1) Factory Farms, Slaughterhouses, Animal Testing (Authorized torture and murder)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbiuwHYIAPA

Animal flesh eaters, hunters, factory and slaughterhouse workers, animal testing workers, circus, rodeo, dog and bull fighting fans, together you can play a huge role in changing society to a kinder, safer, healthier place to live and to thrive, in peace and harmony with the earth.

For the sake of all animals, all humans, the Earth, and her atmosphere, please change as the hour is very late.

RIP Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Coretta Scott King embraced a vegan diet in 1995 due to the influence of her son, Dexter Scott King. Coretta believed that promoting animal rights was the next "logical extension" of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy of non-violence.

"Veganism has given me a higher level of awareness and spirituality." Dexter Scott King, Son of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered” Martin Luther King, Jr.

And another rotting corpse gnawing welfarist steps up, ... "I think how we treat our animals reflects how we treat each other. It's very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty that is perpetrated on animals." Barack Obama

And even more important would be a president who leads by example, not empty words.

“All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing.” Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher

Unless Obama didn’t read the United Nation’s LongShadow Report regarding Factory Farming. In which case, I would have to forgive him for he knows not what he does not want to face. GIVE ME A BREAK! He knows - Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt56ER4TSqc

”There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it” Denis Diderot

“On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Okay Barack Obama, Cowardice, Expediency, and Conscience are all asking you right here and now, "Who is your master? Your tastebuds or your leadership for real change?"

Martin, Coretta, Dextor, our nation and the world are all waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, ...

Give Peas a Chance



History cares not of pride, nor, conformists, only to a gasp at how primitive they must have been; whereas, we always remember those who are able to change with great reverence, for they put aside pride and refused to conform to evil.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common good, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish veganism for the United States of America

FTC, Schools, and the Dairy Industry Partner to Prey on Children of Color

Milk industry associations promote milk consumption in schools through branded refrigeration equipment, cafeteria posters, and in-class supplies. In California high schools, one milk board promoted the “Got Milk? Gravity Tour,” an extreme sports tour sponsored in association with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. Another milk marketer distributed its celebrity milk mustache (“Got Milk?”) posters for display in school cafeterias. In addition, it sent to schools large (“truck sized”) posters, static clings, and banners in connection with its teen-directed promotional campaign. School posters also supported the campaign’s online auction, which featured various items likely to appeal to teenagers. The milk marketer made side panel art – featuring animated teen characters playing the guitar or sports, drinking milk, or cheerleading – available to milk processors for use on small containers for sale in schools. In addition, it advertised its SAMMY (“Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year”) scholarship award in high schools.

The dairy industry has distributed educational materials to schools about nutrition, fitness, wellness, and other aspects of child or teen development; often, these materials were branded or promoted particular products or nutritional icon programs. Educational materials were sometimes accompanied by premiums, such as branded pencils, posters, activity sheets, or soccer balls.

Milk marketers examined the appeal of certain media and the potential success of advertising initiatives (e.g., cross-promotions and licensed characters) among Hispanic, African-American, and Asian segments of the population, and among grade school boys as compared to girls. Media guidelines submitted by one company noted particular media buying techniques to attract African-American and Hispanic consumers as compared to the general consumer market, and research submitted by another company indicated that ads with a strong national market also perform well among Hispanics. Some research took note that product promotions involving certain licensed characters have higher awareness or performance ratings among Hispanics and African Americans than do other promotions.

Market research also examined the relative performance of television commercials, cross-promotions, other advertising campaigns, and promotional concepts among girls versus boys, observing certain themes, images, characters, modes of participation, and prizes with particular gender appeal. In addition, research from milk marketers examined issues such as milk consumption and motivation to eat breakfast among adolescent girls, and milk consumption among Hispanics and African Americans, indicating, for example, relative levels of milk consumption in school districts with higher proportions of Hispanic and African-American students.

One milk marketer reported gender-focused celebrity print advertising directed to either girls or boys, with higher expenditures for boy-targeted advertising, apparently due to the higher cost of media required to reach that audience.

Milk marketers have partnered with government bodies, media companies, non-profit organizations, and other entities to promote nutrition and physical activities for children and teens. One sickening example of collaboration: The FTC's partnering with the American Dairy Association’s “Got Milk” campaign and the “3-A-Day” dairy program. The Dairy Industry even has a campaign that aims to increase consumption of milk by teens that includes a teen-targeted interactive website, milk-mustache celebrity endorsements, and in-school posters.

The FTC notes that although their initiatives require participants to “reduce” their use of licensed characters in advertising directed to children, most participants have pledged to use such characters only in child-directed advertising that promotes healthy dietary choices; however, seeing as the FTC believes milk to be a healthy dietary choice, not much will change, especially the continued use of our tax payer money to--subsidize Factory Farming--promote our government’s (USDA, FDA, FTC, …) partnership with the Dairy Industry’s efforts to set children up for a lifetime of illnesses.

Hundreds of thousands of schools across America only receive reimbursement from the National School Lunch Program when they push milk and life-size Milk Mustache and "Body By Milk" posters adorn their lunchroom walls.

This is the same NSL program that served-up 143 million pounds-- at risk for mad cow disease--of downer dairy cows to children as documented in the January recall of "beef" supplied by Westland Hallmark who won awards as the #2 supplier to the school lunch program.

"The consumption of dairy, especially at the younger ages, is a problem," said Campbell which includes health consequences like higher risks of prostate, uterine, breast and endometrial cancers, osteoporosis and a "threefold higher risk of colon cancer."

Yet the pro dairy message on the school posters--which feature sports figures and popular musicians and arrive unsolicited from the National Dairy Council--is misleading and harmful testified Dr. T. Colin Campbell on the basis of decades of his National Institutes of Health-funded research.

False Assurances and Reality

After the Westland Hallmark 143 million pound “beef” recall in 2008, many people were (and still are) relieved the #2 supplier to the school lunch program was busted and that such unethical despicable behavior has been halted. Don't be fooled. Nothing has changed. Cows are still being fed ground up cows. The meat and dairy industries will do what they want. It was (and still is) against the law to drag cows around with forklifts, yet they did it anyway. Laws are a waste of time. Attitudes change the times, and then laws follow. Trying to change the law first rarely works. Attitudes change laws. We have had laws on the books since 1906; yet, they are not followed and are only in place to appease those who don’t have ice running through their veins from objecting.

Case in point:

The four primary requirements of the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 were:

Mandatory inspection of livestock before slaughter (cattle, sheep, goats, equines, swine, chickens);

Mandatory postmortem inspection of every carcass;

Sanitary standards established for slaughterhouses and meat processing plants;

Authorized U.S. Department of Agriculture ongoing monitoring and inspection of slaughter and processing operations.

After 1906, many additional laws to further standardize the meat industry and the USDA's methods of inspection were passed.

Yet, in 2008, we have this garbage going on:
http://hsus.feedroom.com/?fr_story=346bfda2cbbf061e88fa57cbef243b30d049b3b7

The USDA is in deep denial regarding the presence of Mad Cow in the USA
http://veganschool101.blogspot.com/2008/12/with-mad-cow-disease-only-thing.html

Don't be fooled by the USDA’s false assurances, the holocaust is alive and well and growing worldwide. The USDA lies to continue one more meal unimpeded and so they may collect one more bribe. Nothing has changed. Children in school are still in grave danger everyday they stand in line for their ribwiches and Salisbury steaks.

Our American Holocaust three times a day

A silent Holocaust is going on in America--right here and now--right in front of our noses three times a day. Can’t you smell it? Look off in the distance. Factory Farming is hazing our World. Well, maybe, you cannot see it. I see it in the far off distance, a wavy haze melting the ground.

Excerpt from Peep Show For Children Only:
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Can I see my witness for a second?
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Sure.
(Whereupon, a brief recess was taken.)
BY MR. RILEY:
Q Just so we're on the page that began with the words cannibal your child will eat later. I want you to go two pages beyond that, the one that begins with the words, issue is not a crazy fad or news from a crazy zealot, that one. Do you see that?
A Okay.
Q Okay. And then the paragraph -- the second paragraph begins the words -- with the words a silent holocaust is going on in America right here and now right in front of our noses three times a day. Do you see that?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And the holocaust you're referring to three times a day was breakfast, lunch and dinner?
A Correct.
Q Okay. And you understand the historical reference to a holocaust, correct?
A Yes. The word holocaust was originally described how man treats animals and then it was later transferred into Nazi Germany but the original meaning of the holocaust has to do with treatment of animals, if you look it up, the root meaning of it, yes.
Q You believe when you were at the school there was a holocaust going on with factory farming?
A It's going on all over America, yes, sir.
Q And that eating meat is part of that holocaust?
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Again, these are my personal views. You know, I'm not teaching this in the class. This is a web site that is, you know, after the fact. And I change as a person, I'm growing, I always have new --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I understand that, Mr. Warwak. I'll take that into consideration, believe me.
BY MR. RILEY:
Q Eating meat is part of that holocaust?
A I don't know if I'd say that. You're – did I write that?
Q I'm asking you -- I'm asking --
A I did not write that, no, I did not say that. No, I did not.
Q I didn't ask whether you said it. I'm asking whether eating meat is part of the holocaust?
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I don't see the relevance to my --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I'll allow the question.
THE WITNESS: I guess you're part of it if you're participating in the eating of it, yeah. If you didn't eat it, then that animal wouldn't have died.
BY MR. RILEY:
Q And the Fox River Grove school lunch program in September of 2007 was participating in that holocaust?
A It still is, sure.
Q And you are not the kind of man who could stand by and do nothing while a holocaust was going on in the school lunch program right up the hallway?
A I had to make these things known. If I am silent about the matter, then I am complicit in the lie and the crime. If I at least identify it and have nothing to do with it, my conscience is clean.
Q You knew that Dr. Mahaffy was not going to change the school lunch program?
A Now you're traveling from thoughts that were done months after and you're traveling back to with Mr. Mahaffy. I told you, I changed as a person. These are my personal views. And I really don't appreciate you perusing all of my site. No one asked you to go there. You went there and you're going through -- I'm going to be -- this is ridiculous. He's going to be asking me questions about everything that has been written months and months that -- I don't see an end to this. Where is it going?
ARBITRATOR SIMON: At this point he's asking about the relationship between you and Mr. Mahaffy.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Okay. I would just appreciate that there's a division in the time frame because when he looks at a web site and he's talking about views that I had long after --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: You can address that when you answer the question.
BY MR. RILEY:
Q And you knew Dr. Mahaffy was not going to change the school lunch program at the district?
A I didn't know that. I was hopeful that he would. I tried working with him.
BY MR. RILEY:
Q Take a look at Exhibit 18, Mr. Warwak. You see that?
A Sure.
Q Okay. At the bottom of the page there's a message from Tim Mahaffy dated Friday, April 27, 2007, at 11:02. You see that?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And he told you -- and this is about the time where you were providing Dr. Mahaffy with materials about diet and veganism, correct?
A It's several weeks before that April 27th date, I gave him the 1989 John Robbins Realities to look at. It was sent out in email to all staff. I had private conversations with him about it and asking him what he thought about it. And each time I asked him he said that he hadn't read it yet. And several weeks went by and I was getting the impression that he was just going to sweep it under the rug. So I was approaching him and asking him if he read it. That's why he was sending the email and getting perturbed because I was pressing the issue. I was trying to get a response from him.
Q Okay. Dr. Mahaffy wrote to you: I am not going to commit any intentions on the, quote, future of our kids, close quote. I am not going to get into this debate with you. Please do not go there with me and I respectfully request that you not pressure me to feel guilty about the extremely grave and serious problems, right?
A That's what's written.
Q You got that and you read it because you actually responded to this, correct?
A Yes, sir.
Q Okay. And then he goes on to say: I do not currently have any plans to become the model school that you think we need to be when it comes to diet, correct?
A Yes. This whole document is correct. You don't have to read it and --
Q I'm just asking you yes or no, sir.
A Yes.

Many people are deeply upset because animal rights activists use the term "holocaust" when referring to the torment and killing of millions of animals. And they seem to think the word has been irreverently taken from those who use it to describe the horror of what happened to millions of persons whose bodies were immolated in the ovens of Nazi concentration camps.

But they are wrong. The word "holocaust" is taken from the biblical term used to describe the total immolation of sacrificed animals--they were known as whole-burnt offerings. The Greek word for such sacrifices is "holókaustos" and was used in the translation of the Hebrew scrolls as far back as 250 B.C. That translation (called the Septuagint) was completed for the Jews who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, and could no longer read or speak Hebrew.

So referring to the death of millions of animals as a holocaust was used more than 2,000 years before people applied it to the torture and slaughter of human beings. It is not animal rights people who have linked the death of animals and the death of people. It is those who were appalled at the human carnage of Nazi Germany, who likened it to a holocaust--to the death of millions of animals.

Last chance for children

Voting ends on the 15th. Please visit http://www.change.org/ideas/view/vegan_school_lunch_options and cast your vote by pressing the vote button at the top left hand corner.

Why vote?

Under the mandate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch Program, school cafeterias routinely serve highly processed meals laden with saturated fat, cholesterol, hormones, and salt. Common entrees include chicken nuggets, pizza, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs. This diet flouts U.S. Dietary Guidelines and promotes obesity, diabetes, hypertension, other chronic conditions, and food poisoning.

Naming a rock a banana does not make it "food"

What people refuse to understand is that bad people are confining my friends and torturing them. They are pumping my friends full of drugs and then slitting their throats. Then they are naming my friends "food" when they never really were food. And when schools feed trusting children my chopped-up friends that have feces all over them and diseases so nasty like Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease which can develop in my friends' heads in the next 10-15 years, I have to object.


I have to object when schools feed unsuspecting children bovine breast milk--complete with its blood and pus--that is rife with drugs, heavy hormones, and cancers. Furthermore, humans are the only specie in the animal kingdom to drink breast milk beyond infancy. If that is not condemning enough for those who make excuses for everything--oh, and I have heard all those lame ass excuses my friends--wonder about this: Humans are the only animal specie to drink the breast milk of another specie. Double whammy indeed!

And the final nail in the school lunch milk carton coffin? The dairy industry’s nasty, nasty, nasty secret: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is shared by only two species - a very rare event indeed! IGF-I is identical in humans and cows. And while I have your attention, we might as well hammer another nail in that milk carton coffin. Guess what mom and dad? While you’re busy at work, your school is promoting TUMOR FEED as a treat with sugar and chocolate added to make unsuspecting little Sarah Jane drink up – got milk cancer?

Hey dairy industry, fuck you and your evil plot to go after children. And double fuck you public education for allowing it. And triple fuck you to the USDA and all those crooked slime-balls who they sleep with. America is bloody. It’s time to wash the blood off your hands America. Humane Education reinforced with a vegan lunch will end school shootings and create a generation that cares. A generation that saves Earth and themselves by going vegan.

"IGF-I reacts in a synergistic manner with estrogen, and plays a role in the growth and proliferation of ovarian cancer." Journal of Clinical Endocrinology, Feb. 1994, 78(2)

When we are talking about children’s lives and when we are talking about our children living some 10 to 12 years longer, I do not want to play games or worry about people’s pride. Especially when dealing with such horrific things as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Truth be told, each day this goes on now that we know is an embarrassment to anyone who does nothing. I at least am outraged and not afraid to say so. Even more important, I am not one to keep secrets no matter what they have you believe. And now that news is out, just as Mr. Cappellania was worried what the kids would think of him, the world now knows what the Illinois State Board of Education thinks about children and truth.

The world expects the following:
1. Remove all commercial advertising in all schools.
2. Plant-based diets taught along side meat and dairy diets as part of the required curriculum so students have a choice.
3. Offer a plant-based hot lunch alterative as varied as the meat-based hot lunches so the students may have a reasonable choice.
4. Soy milk offering so the children may have a choice
5. All Illinois food service directors are to read “The China Study” and “The Food Revolution”
6. Phase out all animal products from the school lunch menu within the next school year with full compliance no later than Dec 21, 2012.
7. Withhold State $$$ from schools who refuse to instruct teachers about animals in humane education in their required annual in-service trainings.

Song remains the same 2000 years later

By Dr. Will Tuttle PhD.

Jesus questioned the foundation of war and oppression, which was then, as it is now, the killing and eating of animals. Back then it was animal sacrifice performed by priests at the temple, which was the main source of wealth and prestige for the Jewish religious power structure, as well as being the source of meat for the populace. Jesus’ confrontation at the temple in which he drove out those selling animals for slaughter was a bold attack on the fundamental herding paradigm of viewing animals merely as property, sacrifice objects, and food.

Saw it in the far off distance, a wavy haze melting the ground

My life’s work has always been the continuing pursuit and inquiry of the underlying reasons that contribute to the rampant apathy in our society. Why don’t people care? Why don’t people care that no one cares? I always cared or so I thought. Turns out the things we dislike the most in others are often just a mirror of our own demons. These irritants are amazingly hard to see in ourselves as if they were far off in the distance; but, are too hard to ignore in others, as they appear too close and personal. “So I smashed those mirrors and now the whole world is here for me to see” Jimi Hendrix

Turns out my search for the reason people don’t care is connected with the relationships between people and life on Earth, as well as addressing respect and responsibility issues within the hypocrisy of those who raised us who are ignorant themselves of the legacy of smoke and mirrors that I deny as our fate. We simply had no idea, nor did our parents or theirs. It just kind of happened. The world is in a lot of pain right now and is dying fast. All attributed to the hereditary ignorance that has become the great evil in the world that most people cannot see. It is right here, right in front of us every day. It is like a wavy haze that melts the ground. It is like a type of fog or smoke that clouds our thoughts. It starts when we are very young and grows as we do, until it becomes part of our history and part of our being. It is hard to let go of a part of ourselves, especially when it is most of that we have been taught. So now we have smoke and mirrors. Yikes, life really is a bitch! Yes, but only if we look the other way, all the while pretending to see clearly.

The internet will help man in our evolution to reverse the deadly course we are on. With knowledge comes less ignorance. When one knowingly participates or when one knows full well all the implications and does nothing with the information, they inflict harm on us all, of which the silent individual’s pain is the greatest, as complicity is a far worse crime than ignorance. Complicity and ignorance are the roots of the world’s worst evils. It is just the way we are raised in America. It starts when we are too little to know any better. The more hypocrisy is experienced, the more transparent it becomes. Before you know it we grow up never even noticing. The spirit deep inside us still knows reality and is unimpressed and dissatisfied at the sight of our plastic world everyday. The moon cries in loneliness as today’s child chooses to stay inside glued to an electronic box, compartmentalized inside a temperature controlled facade, instead of going out in to the world, exploring caves, swimming with turtles, discovering nature’s beauty and perfection, caring a broken wing, feeding fish, finding real friends, friends who help the child as much or more than the other.

It is our inner-self, the child, who seeks safe and quiet refuge deep inside us. We suppress the child in us by adopting systems of thoughts and actions based on the perceived desires of those in control. Some suppress themselves with a passive aggressive revenge type of apathy in response to being told, “No” their whole lives; while others suppress themselves in a sort of loyal attempt to satisfy the masses with so many compromises that conflict with the child’s ideas of what is just and right, so many over the years, more and more, all leading to apathy. The child in us cannot be beguiled and sees this as a loss of self. Not much matters after that as we pick and choose to suit our desires with no regard for others, nor knowledge of the pain and sorrow we inflict on others and ourselves. It is this vision that is the root of most of our problems. Respectful people do not pick or choose who or what to be respectful of. They have no choice but to respect everything.

The root of apathy is invariably due to the absence of attachment to the natural world and self in childhood. The natural world seems to be more abstracted, distant and foreign everyday, more and more, all the while, Man’s facade grows cheaper and more generic and ever taller, everyday, taller and taller until the sun is blocked out of the sky. It is happening right now. We are witnessing and participating in it and no one seems to notice or care to. So there it is, the solution enabling cause of apathy. Get this, the solution is and has been right in front of our faces for a long, long time. I chased it down and grappled the machine. Now I'm coming home.

The solution involves early childhood education centered around real respect, real responsibility and the reality of our Earth here and now = Humane Education reinforced with a vegan school lunch. A different way of living and experiencing the world that will enable and guide people to their fullest potentials and in doing so, crumble much of society’s deep despair and misery. This is Man’s next evolution and is just beginning in other parts of the world simultaneously and yours truly is part of it here and now. This same solution will end certain types of cancer, virtually wipeout heart disease, hypertension, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and just about every other disease particular to us here in the western world. Most of our pestilence will fade away. This same solution will put an end to war, cruelty and starvation. The same solution even heals the ozone layer and reverses global warming.

"Saw it in the far off distance, a wavy haze melting the ground. I chased it down and grappled the machine. Now I'm coming home"

“The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding. On the whole men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance which fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness” Albert Camus

School protects dairy posters while harming children

The following is an excerpt from my book, Peep Show For Children Only

MR. DAVID WARWAK: I would like to make a formal request on the record.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Yeah.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: There's a lot of discussion about milk posters and what they say and how big they are. I would like them in as evidence.
MR. RILEY: I want to make sure Josh is with his mom.
MS. ROGERS: I missed the beginning. I apologize.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Let's wait until Mr. Riley gets back.
MR. RILEY: I want to put on the record, whenever I walk the people out, I always tell the kids, whatever they say, you did a great job, and thank the parents, and that's what I'm doing.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Okay.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: There's a lot of discussion about what the milk posters say and no one really has a firm idea, including the man who hung them up had no idea what they actually said. I think that we need to see them especially in regards to dimensions. That was brought up also. I think we need to see the actual concrete things that we're talking about so we know what they are. And I would like to see them in this room as evidence.
MR. RILEY: We're not putting them into evidence. It's our case. We don't see it as even relevant to the case. And it's not been raised by us. We're not talking about the posters.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Every time the milk posters have been raised there hasn't been any objection to the relevance, and we have already made it part of the
record. That makes it relevant. Mr. Cappellania hung the posters up and he couldn't even tell us what they said. I think it's an important issue in this case and we need to see them.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Well, in your case in chief -- I presume you're going to testify, Mr. Warwak.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Yes.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: You can give me a description of the poster. You can describe it for me.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I have a general idea of what the posters look like. I have seen posters of that nature.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: They all say different things and we need to see what they say for this case.
MS. ROGERS: One thing just to mention, as Mr. Cappellania testified, the posters change from time to time. Even the ones that are there now aren't the ones that are there in the fall so as to what they say, they rotate.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: We know that. He did not offer that testimony. He never talked about how they rotate. I would like to see the posters that are up.
MS. ROGERS: Yes, he did. Go look at them.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Are you suggesting a site visit?
MR. DAVID WARWAK: If they don't want to bring them here, I would love to go to the school with everyone, write down what they say and measure them so we have dimensions and then return here. I think that it would be a wonderful thing.
MR. RILEY: It's not -- the only thing I'm going to say is it's not relevant to our case,Mr. Simon, at this point we're not putting it in. It's our case and --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: But the posters are in your possession and Mr. Warwak is requesting them. I suppose make a subpoena duces tecum to request them.
MR. RILEY: I guess we'd object on the grounds of relevance. I'm not sure what the milk posters have to do with the case. It doesn't have to do with the
district's case. Mr. Warwak is alluding to these things but I can't -- it still doesn't have any relevance to the nature of the charges. Mr. Warwak doesn't like the milk posters but the milk posters aren't our case.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Just saying that there's no relevance doesn't prove your point when we have been talking about the milk posters and we had Mr. Cappellania on the stand, I'm -- part of the reason I'm being fired is because of these milk posters. It has every relevance in the world.
MS. ROGERS: The milk posters have come up in the context of the information that he gave children in class or at which he discussed with our staff
members. Our questioning has simply been about that. What he discussed has not been about whether milk posters are right, wrong or indifferent. So the actual milk poster itself is not relevant. What Mr. Warwak told the students about them is. That's been our line of questioning.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Well, I think the posters are relevant because there has been discussion in the classroom about the posters. And that, in itself, makes it relevant aside from the fact that they have been discussed by both parties here at this hearing. The question is the vehicle for bringing them into the record. Like I say, I have seen a number of posters of this nature. I don't think I need to see every individual one of them.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: They are all different. They say different things.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I know that. And I don't think we can put together a compilation of all of the posters that have ever been displayed at the school.
I think that for me, my purposes as the hearing officer, if you can describe to the best of your recollection what those posters say.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: That is one reason I need to see them is because I want to speak the truth, not my recollection. I want to see the actual thing.
MR. RILEY: Could we make a suggestion about this?
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Sure.
MR. RILEY: We don't want to take the milk posters off the wall. I mean, we have got Mr. Warwak driving up and down on his Harley.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: This is irrelevant and that's already been addressed.
MR. RILEY: I'm going to make it relevant. Now we're going to take the milk
posters down that Mr. Warwak --
MR. DAVID WARWAK: No relevance.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Mr. Warwak.
MR. RILEY: Now he wants the milk posters taken down so the kids can see that.
What we would suggest is that the hearing officer, after hours, can take a trip over there, take a look at the posters in their – in context in the cafeteria.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I think -- what time does the school close.
MS. JACQUELINE KRAUSE: Students are dismissed at 2:40 -- band kids and all that are there until 3:10.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Okay. We're scheduled to go until 5:00 today. Do you anticipate going until 5:00?
MR. RILEY: I think probably. Dr. Krause is next and then we have one student, but Mr. Warwak is probably going to have some cross-examination of
Dr. Krause. Probably take us to 5:00.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I'm all for going there and personally seeing them after the students are gone with everyone. I'm fine with that.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I think that's probably the best solution and, you know, whatever time we finish, as long as it's after all the students are out of the
school, we'll do a visit. I presume you have a key to the school.
MS. JACQUELINE KRAUSE: I do.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: One of the responsibilities of the superintendent is to carry the key to the school.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Excellent. Thank you.

WTF! Feeding unsuspecting children corpses, blood, and pus

It is absurd how veggies are demonized, while meat and dairy products are glorified. Truth be told, no matter what anyone argues, schools feeding unsuspecting children the corpses of once living beings and promoting breast milk--complete with its blood, pus, and hormones--stolen from confined, drugged, and tortured cloned creatures as normal and healthy beyond infancy is a physically, socially, mentally, spiritually, and ecologically damaging, unnecessary crime against humanity.

Pus: Thick opaque usually yellowish-white fluid matter formed by suppuration and composed of exudate containing white blood cells, tissue debris, and microorganisms

Evil And Ignorance Are Preying On Our Children!

There is an old Zen saying: “Whatever you ignore most forcefully will control you the most.”

The USDA in concert with the meat and dairy industries have created and are controlling a generation of apathetic ignorant souls. These lost souls are entrapped in old ideas learned in school and are forcefully ignoring the truth at their own children’s expense.

The Food Pyramid reinforced by the School Lunch Program is an evil plot designed to make money by getting children hooked on meat and dairy products, with no regard for their health. The science has been out for a long time.

We have been ignoring children for too many years even knowing they control the future the most; unfortunately the meat and dairy industries have been paying great attention to children, just as they did to our parents and us.

If you have any children in your life, please tell them the truth, before the lies are cemented in their clean impressionable minds.

With each passing day, the resistance to change hunkers down for the meat and dairy industries realize vegans are reaching out to children. Truth is evil’s greatest enemy. Silence is complicity.

Betrayal of one's own cause

“All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing.” Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher

Lets bring back Nietzsche, gather a few more friends, find Al Gore's barbeque hideaway, TP his house and take away his "no tell please prize" Unless Gore didn’t read the United Nation’s LongShadow Report regarding Factory Farming. In which case, I would have to forgive him for he knows not what he does not want to face.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

”There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it” Denis Diderot

Al Gore, Warwak has put you on notice. Who is your master?

Schools Indoctrinate Children Into Violence

By Dr. Will Tuttle PhD.

For the school board to claim that Dave Warwak turned his classroom into a "zone of indoctrination" is not only ironic, but ludicrous. It is clear that the entire school is a zone of indoctrination, complete with posters promoting dairy products and a cafeteria offering a continuous supply of foods derived from terrified and abused animals. The school and its teachers and administrators present this cruelty as normal in an overwhelmingly pervasive way to impressionable children. The school is itself an institution embedded in a culture that uses all its other institutions to do exactly the same thing. Dave Warwak was providing a small counterpoint of awareness, compassion, and sensitivity to this flood of indoctrination to which all children in our culture are routinely subjected and for this he could not be tolerated. That he should be painted by the school board and media as the "indoctrinator" is beyond absurd, and what is astonishing is how difficult this is for most people to comprehend. Dave Warwak was creative and honest in his efforts to help students rise above culturally-imposed attitudes of violence and cruelty toward animals, and because of this he was viewed as dangerous to the status quo. In actuality, he was fulfilling a higher mandate, and for this he deserves respect and honor, not the disrespect and abuse that he has been forced to endure for questioning a culture that is ferocious in its routine cruelty toward billions of animals used for food.
