Natures Revenge?

Foie Gras is made from the swollen livers of force fed geese and ducks. This ‘delicacy’ could be linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis especially to those who are prone to these diseases. The inhumane and cruel practice of force feeding birds should be made illegal everywhere. Cholesterol Leveling Drug and Parkinson’s disease. Around 20 million C.L. lowering drugs costing £300 a patient were prescribed by the NHS in 2006. However research has shown a link between the drug and Parkinson’s disease which affects around 120,000 people in UK. Experts at University of North Carolina found the link between Low-Density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and Parkinson’s. British Heart Foundation urged people to continue taking statins or they would be putting themselves at increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Red meat however is one of the first foods doctors advise patients to stop eating if they are at risk of heart attack. This is because red meat contains high levels of dietary cholesterol.

More Reasons to Give up Milk

The milk most people drink is produced by cows for their calves. To ensure maximum milk yields cows are inseminated days after giving birth to their calves which are taken away.

The Relentless Plunder of our Oceans

Government subsidies of more than £78 million were paid every year to maintain deep sea trawling vessels around the world. Deep-sea trawling involves dragging 15 tonne weights across the seabed to break up corals and rocks so fish can be scooped up. These vessels burn 1.1 billion litres of fuel annually. Fish that live more than 100 years and cold water coral reefs that have taken millennia to form are being destroyed by these vessels. The oceans are being permanently stripped of many unique life forms.
