Like i said, you will take away my bacon from my cold dead hands. But not before taking a bunch with me, with a mouthful of bacon in my mouth.

Let me look into my crystal ball.
I envision you being some overweight middle class white male? Probably likes to wear a baseball cap out in public? You like 1970's/1980's rock n roll? You claim to be a right wing conservative but you love your counter culture, liberal musical bands and beer?
Is it true?

You are a funny guy, I am supposed to hope that the people behind the GMO foods only have my best interest at heart... You are telling a conspiracy web site to trust big brother govt to not use its power and influence to modify the foods in such a way as to benefit the powers that be... (dumb down...population control etc)
Where if I raise a calf for beef, I only have natural risks associated with it, I am good with that... and so are many other people.. it does not make us small minded, or stupid.
You really should pry yourself out of that ivory tower you live in and try to see things from another perspective... walk a mile in their shoes if you will.

Yeshua said that no food is unclean for a clean person. Yet I believe there is a foundation of peace that is inherently accompanied by non-violence where death fades away like a bad dream. Isaiah prophesied of such a time:
"...the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:7-9)
Eating meat was not a command after the fall of Adam and Eve, but only after the flood (Gen 9:3)
Just some things to contemplate, brother.

LOL you got some bits right: white and '70s and 80' rock.... as for the rest, a big LOL.
I don't like my pic on a public forum, so I'll just post this for a little while until you realize how wrong stereotyping is. And how wrong you picture people in your head.
This is me, now.

Hilariously, a lot of the issues with meat in the US is down to how they are reared via mass production. Have you seen the doco Food Inc? I highly recommend it.
You cant blame omnivores for this problem. You can blame fast food and big corporate, along with failed government regulation due to the big corporate political revolving door.
And herein lay my biggest issue with Trump. I don't think he is going to fix the corporate favoritism, instead he may compound it. Not that Hillary was going to offer anything substantial is this regard either.
But I digress.

Pick up a biology book. You can't always be into spiritual work. Too much spiritual work makes you lose your grounding with reality.
2016: Grass plants bind, retain, uptake, and transport infectious prions.
Prions are the protein-based infectious agents responsible for prion diseases. Environmental prion contamination has been implicated in disease transmission. Here, we analyzed the binding and retention of infectious prion protein (PrP(Sc)) to plants. ...These findings demonstrate that plants can efficiently bind infectious prions and act as carriers of infectivity, suggesting a possible role of environmental prion contamination in the horizontal transmission of the disease.
2013: Prions Found in Plants
Prions — the infectious, deformed proteins that cause chronic wasting disease, or CWD, in deer — can be taken up by plants such as alfalfa, corn and tomatoes, according to new research from the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison.
The research further demonstrated that stems and leaves from tainted plants were infectious when injected into laboratory mice. ...
....The Bad News
Prions really are everywhere - in meat, milk, animals, plants, insects, viruses, bacteria, fungi, soil, water, the rivers, oceans and air.
The Good News
We are all one. Prions are supposed to be everywhere - they are an important mechanism that helps us all adapt to our planet's changing environments, and evolve.
In fact, long before prions were "officially recognized" by the scientific establishment and well before Prusiner got his Nobel prize for "discovering" prions, various pharmaceutical and agricultural corporations were synthesizing prions and using the mechanism to create 'protein based' medications and to modify plant and animal genes.
More Bad News
The money guys were too ignorant and stupid to realize that their little profit generators would change the biological foundations of our world.

...OMG! Meat can carry diseases?!?
How will we ever circumnavigate this dilemma??
Oh look, fire

Nope. Not that simple. At all. ...You're looking at the little picture, which just generates fear, when there is a much, much bigger perspective to be had.

If you want to talk about prions, you HAVE to talk about evolution.
