White House & USDA Should Institute Vegan Only Food Stamps
It's time for our government to stop subsidizing
the eating of animals and/or their stolen milk and eggs.
1. to stop enabling animal agony
2. to reduce food poisoning, heart disease,
kidney disease, Alzheimer's, arthritis, obesity, cancer,
and 100 other diseases caused by cadaver eating
3. to slow down climate extremes.. Cattle ranches deforest the planet
4. to cut down on water pollution.. trillions of gallons of sewage and
urine dumped into streams and rivers
5. to stop energy waste.. depending on whether it is the flesh
of cows, pigs, lambs, chickens or other, per pound flesh foods take 81
or more times the energy expenditure. Animals must be fed, watered,
cleaned up after, given veterinary care. Their killers in
slaughterhouses take time and expense. Their flesh is frozen in trucks, warehouses, refrigerated in grocery stores, frozen at home and then heated in ovens at home.
6. to end the forced taxation of vegans and vegetarians who oppose
the violence... to end the forced taxation of Hindus (532 million
are vegetarian)and over 90% avoid cow flesh, the forced taxation
of Muslims and Orthodox Jews for pig flesh
7. Everyone is taxed for the health care of those who sicken
themselves by eating flesh foods which must be frozen to keep from rotting.
For all the reasons listed above, it is time to tax meat and fish sales.
Some would add that dairy and eggs also should be taxed.. but
that might add to the idea's opposition. As long as we have
an antidemocratic Senate which gives Wyoming of 600,000 the
same number of senators as California with nearly 40,000,000,
a Senate which gives extraordinary power to low population
cattle rancher dominated states, such an idea would be fought by
the butcher industry.
