We should never say that just because it is different from what we consider "normal," it is barbaric! Have you ever read "The Jungle?" It has a lot of interesting information about our food packing industry back in the 20's.

You might say "well that's back then.." but think of it this way.. Most of our food comes from other countries, places that don't have an FDA. Our chocolate, for example, mostly comes from the Ivory Coast from Africa. The Cocoa beans in transit from their country to ours have mice and rats crawling around in them, so there is a great deal of rodent feces in the beans. Obviously, you can't tell the difference between a small black bean and mouse poo, so the US FDA allows a larger percentage of rodent feces in chocolate than in other items.

If you've ever seen how our animals here are butchered for food, you would never call the rituals of animal slaughter in other countries "Barbaric." At least they have some kind of ritual attached. We just kill animals by the thousand, whether they're sick or healthy.

One last image to put into your mind.. think about the cow's milk you or your children drink. Milk contains what is called "somatic" cells in it, which is what pus is made from. Cows' udders become infected from all of the milking, causing their bodies to produce a large amount of pus, which comes out along with the milk. If you're interested, you can look up just how many somatic cells there are in each ounce of your milk by doing a search on the internet. You will be shocked.

So Americans drink pus in their cow's milk, eat feces in their chocolate.... Who is barbaric now?
