I sometimes have to stop and think............ I know people don't really care much for spirituality and religion but one has to ask the hard question.

• If one can look beyond the proteins and the calorific value of the food then how good is consumption of food that has been created by hurting the natural order is to a human body?

Let alone the fact that the animal has to suffer from the birth and to a degree that it cannot even complete it's life span. A few days ago I was arguing my case with another gentlemen, here on steemit. The point he put forward was that requirements of humanity are so great that not all standards can be maintained.

Forget the discussion at of food and talk about the most basic item of consumption, i.e. water. The fact that it is not even drinkable anymore should give a pause. Sure requirements of humanities are great - but are the great enough to raise an entire generation of sickly people because science has conclusively shown that long enough exposure will make are bodies adapt and sometimes not in a favorable fashion. I think to be lazy about where the food is coming from has more to do with laziness then anything else. Our diets are at mercy of corporate entities rather than the supposed environmental shortcomings of the planet.

(I would also like to state here that my belief is that humanity overestimates itself. We are but a speck in a scheme of bigger things. To think that a whole planet would fall short in providing for a species whose whole population(past and present) can be fitted inside one big city is a little egotistical.)

The idea of taking care of nature is not just of what we give back would be returned to us. It seems more of what we pass on would reach into the evolution thus changing the future.

Sorry! Went a little off tangent. Can't get the picture of those chicks not even able to walk properly off my mind.
