Liberate yourself from the wrath of meat
Dear Editor:
What possible reason could anyone have to barbecue soy dogs and veggie burgers on the Fourth of July instead of animal body parts? Would any of these work?
• Not worrying about nasty E. coli and salmonella bugs if temperature is too low.
• Not worrying about deadly carcinogens if temperature is too high.
• Focusing on traffic and fireworks safety rather than food safety.
• Giving your eyes a break from reading government warning labels.
• Giving your body a holiday from saturated fat, cholesterol and hormones.
• Not sweating the animal-cruelty and environmental-devastation guilt trips.
• Sharing a holiday with your strange but lovable veggie friends.
• Celebrating a day of independence from the meat industry.
