WHAT'S REALLY ON THOSE GROCERY SHELVES? the animals that we eat.
A Heartbreaking Thought of Unbearable Truth,
This is not a post on what's right or wrong, what the best diet is, and no attack on what anyone eats. It' my observations that We All are in the same boat.
Picking up my wine glass after pouring the ruby liquid and smelling it's bouquet, I take a quizzical look and contemplate the nature of wine, how it's made, how many grapes it takes to make a barrel, how many bottles does a barrel fill? I begin to speculate on just HOW wineries produce so much wine from one season's crop? Thousands of bottles in a year...from just one harvest, at one winery.
I have this question about meat too. I actually have cogitated on this topic for several years. I can't stand to go by the meat a-isle for many reasons, but this one question haunts me every time I am in a grocery store. I have always been afraid to actually look up the answers to my macabre ponderings.
I was thinking over the years HOW there can be SOOOOO much meat in just one super market let alone all the super markets. Then take into account that there are likely 20 or more places in a 3 mile radius of your location; restaurants, drug stores, gas stations, school cafeterias and more where meat products are sold.
So when you go in your supermarket and go to the meat section you are confronted with the carcasses of cows, pigs, lambs, buffalo, chickens, turkeys, fish, and the list goes on. (soon to be insects if the WEF has their way) How many carcasses at one time are filling up the bins in just one store, the shelves with canned meat, the pet food aisle, the frozen food, the dried food, and then think about all the stores within a mile of the one you are standing in. And then think about how many stores in your city, and then think about how many in your county, then your state and then on and on across the whole country, the Whole World.
So, that makes for MILLIONS upon millions if not billions of animals on any given day. Where are these millions of animals on any given day coming from? How do THAT MANY animals exist in the markets, on any given day and EVERY DAY? Who is processing these animals? How are there any left out in the fields, farms, barns, forests and oceans?
So today, of all days, I decided to look it up. Don't ask me why, I couldn't say, maybe it was the adrenochrome in the wine.
This is what I found.
I just asked the question point blank;
https://ourworldindata.org/how-many-animals-get-slaughtered-every-day
Hundreds of millions of animals get killed for meat every day.
Everyday??????
Wow, astonishment!!! Now I usually save that word for the beautiful things in life, Actually I am astounded! Speechless, really.
The article starts with:
"The scale of humanity’s meat consumption is enormous. 360 million tonnes of meat every year"
After I read that, honestly, I could barely get through the rest of the article. But the link is there if you are interested to kNOw More!
I don't know, just a crazy freakin thought of mine, it really makes me wonder about this reality, and the nature of the simulation. How can this kind of consumption even be possible? How can this many animals be produced to begin with? Why, does life require such sacrifice? Why do all living things need to eat from the dead? why do we need to kill to live?
So, I will leave this quote, because it is this kind of FACT, that makes me contemplate these horrendous heartbreaking things about life and the world in the first place.
It’s not just about how many farm animals are killed but also the suffering they endured while they were raised. The majority of the world’s farm animals are raised in dismal conditions. Pigs are held in cramped, stressful conditions, living a life in chronic discomfort and distress. Cows get their calves taken away to produce milk for human consumption, a practice under which both the mother and the calf suffer. Many animals are castrated without anesthetic. Chickens are often debeaked to stop them from fighting with other chickens out of discomfort and pain; many cannot turn around their entire lives.
We ourselves are being farmed & harvested. It's the nature of the beast system. I HATE IT.
We are all victims AND participants. It's sick to think about. Twisted.
Great article! Lots to digest.
Wow.
And we all eat and have so much more food that we can handle.
Which is the basis of these senseless animal slottering. What is Hell??
It is when one is born a farm animal and destined to be slottered for food.
This is different from what the Native Americans concept of hunting to eat and survive is.
And not only them.
This is the height of immorality in our society imo.
And i m guilty myself of this....i eat eggs, fish (caught from streams but also store bought) and seldom I have organic chicken or turkey.
Yet what bothers me is the waste, the disposable because of eccess of how people manage food.
Very nice write up.
