1. hey we need to start a meme that will click with the Religious

Right. Did you all click on the link and read some of the entries, the farms? "God given way of feeding, all natural, grass," yada-yada...

MAybe we should start throwing out there that these agribusinesses are against' "God's Will," this is NOT how GOD would have wanted animals raised.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, or at least find a way to connect with them on a level that they can understand that suits your needs.

2. hadn't realized there was so much of that

was that on the individual farms? My state (AZ) has 4 listed, I think and I know 2 of the families and they are pretty progressive/not religious. It is likely another one of the splits between urban and rural, a lot of rural people tend to hold onto these sorts of traditions. I also wouldn't be surprised if back east in the Mennonite and Amish influenced areas its quite prevalent as well.

On a more cynical note re your idea - they will throw back the classic biblespeak enviro-rape excuse. God gave man DOMINION over everything. :puke:

I try to let people keep their religion to themselves, but if they start inflicting it on me I tend to start avoiding them.
