Grosser than Pink Slime
Most people have heard about the "pink slime" (ground-beef filler) that has shaken consumers although our government officials seem to believe there is nothing wrong with it because they approve it for consumption. Should it surprise us? Not a bit. Just check out the regulations and inspections set for poultry slaughterhouses.

The animal agriculture business is out of control. Ethics, compassion, public health and even respect for consumers have no meaning to this industry. However, as long as consumers keep supporting them by buying their products, the larger and more powerful they get. Christians are called to participate in the reconciliation of God’s Creation. I believe this is possible when we align our faith with our values and choices. In this case, supporting the meat, egg and dairy industries goes against our Christian faith.Your question and comments are welcome
