even though we suspect it needn't be, it probably has been. let's

not let our pro-meat ideals cloud the ugly reality. the arguments

against meat are pretty strong when limited to actual historical

practices, especially recent methods of meat production, but of

course they are incredibly weak when other possibilities are

considered, like the general WAPF ideal. i find it quite plausible

that irresponsible meat-eating has contributed to food imbalances,

but i really don't know the facts on this topic.
