Happy eggs taste funny
A while ago I decided to stand for something. And that something is happy animals. If you’re confused, let me clarify. I disagree with the way factory animals (animals raised for the sole purpose to end up on our plates) are treated while they are alive and during the killing process. I’m not a member of PETA nor do I think it is wrong for humans to eat animals. What I think is cruel and wrong is for those animals we intend on eating are treated like they are worthless, brainless, things. When, in fact, we depend on them for tasty burgers, wonderful breakfast sausage, celebratory feasts, and many, many, many other delicious meal time treats.
Instead of cramming a hundred cows in a 20 by 20 foot pin, where they are so close to one another the crap right on their neighbor, we should be letting them roam free in open, green, lush lands where they can frolic and play until their order is up, at which time they should be put to death in a guaranteed painless, quite, and complete way. Same goes for pigs, chickens, and all the rest of soon to be dinners. We don’t even put the worst of murderers in that manner. We put them up, rent free, in a sweet 10 by 10 pad, with four square meals, free schooling, workout time, and sometimes TV time as well. Oh and when their order is up, there is a team of doctors there to insure a painless, quick, and complete death. Murderers – who only take life, and yet we still treat the animals that nourish life a hundred times worse. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I have made a vow to do my part by not supporting such activity! I refuse to buy or eat any “unhappy” animal product. Okay, to be completely honest, it’s a process. I am 100% on the meat part of it all. As for milk, I mostly stick with soy, but when I want some real dairy goodness, I only buy organic (which in my mind equals happy). Yogurt, on the other hand, I am still eating the normal kind, when I eat it. That will be the next thing I switch. Most recently I made the switch to ‘cage free’ eggs. And to tell you the truth, they taste a bit wonky. But I am willing to bet that is exactly how an egg is supposed to taste. And I will just have to get used to it. They aren’t gross, just different. Which I think is perfect evidence for my theory.
My theory: Not only is it ethically wrong to treat animals they was we (as acceptable society) do, but its got to be unhealthy, and less yummy on a very deep chemical level. If you think about your body, when you are happy, your body releases chemicals – good happy, healthy, fantastic chemicals. The same is true when you are scared, or stressed. Only instead of happy, healthy, fantastic ones – you get unhappy, damaging, horrible chemicals. Now I know, and have heard it plenty, “No, Stress is good for the body, keeps you on your toes…” and blah blah. Sure maybe in small doses stress can be beneficial. But Imagine living in a constant state of stress and torture, it can be very detrimental. I think this will affect taste and texture of the animal you are preparing. So by eating only free range, grass fed HAPPY animals you can not only eat a more quality animal, you can feel good about it! Creating a much better situation for you and all animalkind!
This is a beautiful bandwagon headed somewhere utterly untoppable, wont you jump on? I’ll save you a seat with a view!
