we ALL want to LIVE. we all FEEL. we all SUFFER.
we ALL want to live in freedom and peace and we all should deserve the same rights.
Why should we kill and be violent when there is no need to??
if we want to live in peace, we have to let all beings live in peace,
not just cats or dogs: speciesism is a wrong bad ideology, like racism ...
"people have been eaten animals for years....." BLABLA...this is no argument, cause::
we all know: people thought also that racism and sexism was OK......
we all feel and want to live. this should be enough to treat every living being with respect.
eating meat is unhealthy for you and for the planet but especially
it's animal cruelty. murder stays murder. and violent is ALWAYS wrong if you dont't need it to survive/protect.
and we all know today: we don't need ANY animal product.....we can eat EVERYTHING-just vegan.
animals are not ours. they are here with us. not for us.
Speciesism is so damn heartless and egoistic ...to kill- even there is no need to - innocent beings day by day.
...cruel! so sick... what if you were the victim?
what if it was your family? what if another species would to this to us?
i am ashamed for humans , so cold, heartless heartless heartless......
and talk about peace while they eat cage, rape, murder,etc. innocent animals ....pure ignorance. please show heart &GO VEGAN.
they feel emotions, they suffer, and we are the species which can decide to kill- or not.
then why the fuck should we choose to KILL if we want to live in peace (and people always say that...)
with not only our species or dogs or cats- but with all beings? then it's just logic,
we have to stop treating some animals as food and some as friends-
all are the same and deserve to live free- ---cause you all want that, too.
and today there's just no need anymore to consume and hurt these inncoent wonderful beings.
[go vegan people] for your health, for the planet, and especially for the animals.
we should want a world without victims.

Fear mongering, your doing it wrong.

1. Carbon monoxide is different by one atom, not one molecule
2. You have the temperature readings of Celsius and Fahrenheit reversed, 50 degrees Celsius is well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. The pictures have quite clearly been photoshopped, some lines of fat are not present in both the pieces. That should be visible in both pieces
4. Carbon monoxide GAS is harmful if inhaled because it suffocates you, it is not poisonous, it just makes you unable to breath. Oxygen (or in this case, CO) attaches to your blood cells through your lungs, so as long as you're not going to the factories and breathing in the gases, you cannot be harmed by it. It is also not a carcinogen, so once any trace amounts are out of your system, you're a-ok
5. if the meat was decayed, it would look decayed. They don't retroactively treat the meat; they treat the meat and then put it out to sell, and if it goes bad while it's out, then they throw it out. If the meat looks okay to eat, then it is not full of bacteria because the CO kills it. You can't get sick if there is no bacteria.

God, the failures of some people.... I just wanna kick somebody's rear end.

Carbon monoxide is one ATOM different from Carbon Dioxide - NOT MOLECULE!

I'm sorry, but the pictures there are not the same piece of meat. The marbling is different from one another...And the supposed meathod being used only changes the color of meat, not relocate marbling (fat/tenden lines). If this story is true, then at least they could actually use the same piece of meat, instead of using two different cuts and claim they're the same. So it's easy to say that this article is false since the creator of the picture didn't even post a truthful picture.

I recently bought some frozen fish (and I rarely ever eat meat of any kind, except fish) and when I got it home and prepared some of it, I noticed my head felt funny, a slight headache and I felt tired. I looked at the package, and saw, what I had never noticed before on anything: carbon monoxide was used to preserve it. Really confused, because this was frozen fish, so I guess it was for the appearance of the fish. I may never buy frozen fish again.

...unless these days be shortened there will no flesh remain....the anointing destroys these yokes> and if you eat any deadly thing it will not harm you> put >THE WORD ON IT, what else can you do>it's all poison>veggies,too> cloned what? what is alive and living? CAN LIFE COME FROM DEATH?

Many years on mostly veg diet cause it feels right. I've tried littlr bites here & there... Always dissapointed! I try because I wonder, but it dosent feel like energy. It feels like it takes more to eat &digest it. Definitly not for me.

I think we all have lost of the balance of meat, fruits, vegetables, and grains. We need a good variety, not just steak, potatoes, and corn. Currently i am working on converting my family to more vegetarian based dishes with just a little meat that i am used too. Soon we will go to meatless Mondays. I think more people should try it, who knows it might just benefit your health. Also don't forget about the chemicals added to chicken breast to plump them up. I used to work as a quality assurance employee at a meat packing place. youll be surprised the amount of "rules" that are bent. The issues go pretty deep.

Everyday Blessed 14, you appear to know very little about vegetarianism. It's not about eating terrible fake meat in chain restaurants. You've never seen a healthy-lookiing vegetarian because you've never seen me. I am over 50 and on zero prescriptions. Can you boast the same? There's nothing wrong with avoiding meat if we are careful and steadfast about where our protein comes from

I'm not sure who wrote this article but they got celsius and fahrenheit completely backwards. I work in the food industry and we are not allowed to go above 4 degrees celsius. If the food was ever at 50 degrees celsius, it would all have to be thrown away. 50 degrees celsius is 122 degrees fahrenheit.

I think you should research vegetarian athletes.

People who tout the wonders of not eating meat I wonder do you ever read the labels on some of that vegetarian crap they sell? We use it at work for vegans, vegetarians and it is like a long list of unpronouncable chemicals. Many times the consumers of this crap pretend they have one over on everyone else when in fact they are eating man made garbage packaged as a healthy meat alternative. Besides the fact I have never seen a healthy looking vegetarian, they are ALWAYS a pasty white anemic looking and sickly, except of course they are a person of color and can't tell by their skin color. There is nothing wrong with meat eating if we are careful and steadfast about where our meat comes from

Carbon monoxide would not be harmful in itself if eaten with the meat. It is dangerous to breathe because it prevents the hemoglobin in blood from binding to oxygen. Carbon monoxide bound to the hemoglobin in meat makes it appear bright red for a long period of time. This may not be bad in itself. Properly aged steaks are among the best. But CO may be used to disguise degraded meat. However anyone with a good nose should be able to recognize rotten meat and return it to the market. If one decides to eat meat one should find a reliable butcher who doesn't play these games. But the article is a little misleading to state that the CO injected in meat is toxic in itself.

Next Monday is marked on my calendar - it is the day that I switch to a whole food - plant based diet!!! I will no longer be subject to this type of chemical bombardment on my person!!! I will surely miss the taste of a great steak - but it is certainly not worth the physical damage that it causes to my body!!!

I am a retired meat who has assuaged his own misgivings about the meat that is available in most retail markets by purchasing whole sub-primals and cutting or grinding them myself. The sub-primals can be bought in cryovac packages which keep fresh for up to a month after pack date thanks to the simple fact that they are not exposed to oxygen. Buy only boneless sub-primals, whole ribeyes, loin strips, top round, etc., and find how easy they are to cut yourself if you have a sharp knife. Simply cut, wrap, and freeze the meat yourself. For less than $50 you can get a hand-crank grinder that clamps to your table top, assuring you that your burger is sans pink slime.

Cave men ate meat.
Evolved men are vegetarians....
Go vegetarianism !!!!

This is what happens when political appointees replace scientists in your government.

A great reason to go Vegan!!!

Don't buy meat at a wal mart. If they don't have a butcher on site then don't shop there.

"The question is, how many people have become ill by this chemically altered meat that is being sold to families all over the world?"

...and what are we willing to do about it???

Carbon Monoxide Meat Threatens Consumer Safety
Food & Water Watch Testifies at House Energy and Commerce
Committee Hearing

Washington, DC , This morning Food & Water Watch will be testifying at one of the most important consumer protection hearings that Congress will conduct before it adjourns next month. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding a hearing on the use of carbon monoxide (CO) in meat and fish packaging, a process that the consumer group considers misleading and deceptive to American consumers.

I've been checking out a lot of information on meat lately and I think I'm going to become a vegitarian again. I'd give you the reasons but I don't want to gross anyone out here right now.

Yum! Reason #36 as to why I don't eat meat.
