this is an interesting article about an interesting man. I first heard of John Mackey via Viva! USA (i cannot remember the facts; but, i do remember the story)
A member of Viva! USA attended a meeting at Whole Foods where John Mackey was speaking and she spoke out, loudly, about the devastating way foie gras is produced and that his store should stop selling this product. He got pissed and they got in a very heated argument match - in front of everybody. he was pissed because, well, you know how animal rights people are: relentless, which probably means she had contacted him in the past.
but miracles upon miracles, Mr. (openminded) Mackey gave the rep from Viva! USA the time of day and listened to her side.
He is now almost vegan.
I find that amazing and hopeful that people can change. and i believe if people knew the TRUTH about what goes on behind closed doors for the sake of the almighty dollar and at the horrible expense of billions of lovely, innocent animals - many, many, MANY minds would be changed.

looking into an animals eyes ~ how people translate to food is beyond me. great article & hopeful that more will change.
AMEN! Very nice to find this out... and of course we always hope that people will "see the light" !!!
if only we could just scream: "WAKE UP PEOPLE! ANIMALS ARE NOT OURS TO EAT!"
*sigh*
I would hold him and pet him and kiss him. That cow is so adorable! I'm with you ladies - how could anyone kill that, let alone eat it? I saw a T-shirt on a website somewhere that had a picture of a dog on a plate and the caption was basically saying 'what's the difference between Fido and Bessie, the cow'. I should have gotten it. I can't remember where it was. But it is true...what is the difference when it comes to animals.
i'm almost completely veggie.
and it's mostly because i admire you so much. :)
