UTTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t eat turkey Mmm, Thanksgiving turkey. Mmm, another slaughtered in nocent animal for human con sumption and greed. Kari Thorene’s article, “Food safety can prevent illness” (ODE, Nov. 24) forgot to mention not only the safest method to pre vent food poisoning from eat ing turkey and meat in general but the cruelty involved by choosing to eat this innocent animal. Obviously, the safest way to prevent illness from meat is not to eat it! Besides the obvious, there are numerous reasons why you should stay away from this year’s turkey and meat in gen eral. The commercial turkeys, which the majority of Ameri cans eat, are confined in jammed, filthy cages, forced to breathe ammonia fumes and lung-destroying dust. They de velop respiratory diseases, foot ulcers, breast blisters and am monia-burned eyes. These turkeys are bred to be come obese, with their skele tons so weak that many col lapse. Oxygen-deprived and grossly overburdened, many turkeys’ hearts explode. Turkeys are also brutally de beaked, which results in them being unable to eat properly and lifelong pain and suffering. There is no legislation to pro vide a humane slaughter for these respectable creatures. Eating animals is extremely bad for your health in many as pects. Vegetarians have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, osteoporosis, di abetes milletus, obesity, kidney stones, gallstones and hyper tension, according to the Amer ican Dietetic Association. Heart disease is strongly correlated with elevated levels of choles terol, which is found only in animal products. A vegan diet (no animal products) is a healthy, environ mental and morally conscious choice. Vegans consume plen ty of protein, nutrients and vit amins for proper nutrition, and the food tastes good, too. We can no longer support the big industries of murder and justi fy it with the “need” to eat meat — for this need does not exist.
