		<description>I&#039;ve managed to keep death off my dinner plate since 1982 when I chose to be Vegetarian, and I&#039;ve been Vegan since 2000.

Not everybody in the world can afford to eat meat and so rice, wheat and soya are what they have instead, if they are lucky. To produce meat, animals are often fed cereals and soy, so that in environmental terms, meat eating is expensive. The fish eaters of the Pacific Rim countries are having an adverse effect on South Pacific fish stocks which are now becoming depleted.

Eat what you like, but know the effect on the planet and its population of what you choose to eat. 

Macca&#039;s Meat-Free Monday is a good idea, but only if you want to join in, as your free-will is greatly respected.</description>

Crystal clear, as always, Alessandra. :)</description>

Oh, at least it was clear enough to me. :) 

And I agree, we can&#039;t avoid all the traps they invent to condition us.

But we can try, we won&#039;t give up!</description>

		<description>I agree, Michèle.

It seems lots of people find it more comfortable to do what someone else suggests to them, no matter who he is, instead of thinking with their own heads.

Now I&#039;m speaking like that was not my problem, but I know I&#039;m also caught by this system. 

I mean, I don&#039;t really know if it&#039;s enough to be aware of this mechanism to be free from it. Sometimes I think there could be only different levels of conditioning for us.

I don&#039;t know if my English was clear enough.  :?</description>

		<description>Shabab ~ I do hope that someday soon Iran will be a place where you can openly discuss your differences and beliefs without fear of harm for your family or yourself by your &quot;leaders&quot;. 

The events of the past week have been truly horrendous to watch but refusing to recognize Ahmadinejad&#039;s &quot;government&quot; is the only way to a true democracy.

Neda Soltani along with many others have paid the ultimate price for freedom... don&#039;t let it be for nothing.</description>

		<description>Oh! Fed, I am so glad to hear that the duck is OK. There are so many stupid people out there that don&#039;t care about animals and it sounds like this person is one of them. I would have flipped out if I was there and would have went after the idiot.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;They constantly create false needs to sell us their often useless and unhealthy products. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, it&#039;s our choice to buy or not. Maybe we should act more often like responsible adults, no?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;RT @&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/nicklairdclowes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;nicklairdclowes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Please forward Mayday to any like minded souls: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/pSGeC&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://bit.ly/pSGeC&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks to your Twitter link to Mayday, I have now been able to read the lyrics of the song. Merci. But they are a bit cliché, I think.

That said, I like the idea of a &quot;marching band ...under Nelson&#039;s column&quot;.  ;)</description>

		<description>I agree with everything you said, Lene.

Cheap food is just a way to convince us to buy more than we need. They constantly create false needs to sell us their often useless and unhealthy products. 

Our advantage is just an illusion, because, at the end, we buy too much, we eat low-quality foods and we spend more than we wanted, so they&#039;re happy.</description>
