i agree with you wholeheartedly. i'm quite sick and disappointed at the man who made me vegan (yes, it was "meat is murder"). even on his "who put the 'm'" dvd, the peta video "meet your meat" is quite explicit in showing how awful these chickens and dairy cows are treated...it's really torture worse than death to treated as egg and milk machines...and they are slaughtered in the end as well.
i love mozzer but i find it so hard to take or believe he doesn't know this, and certainly he's not fooling himself that the milk and eggs he eats are any different. perhaps at home he can find organic eggs and milk from responsible farms, but i hardly think that's possible with him on the road, and certainly, i almost can't believe that he's that discriminatory. if he's eating an ice cream sundae at the beverly hills hotel, how can he possibly know that the milk and eggs used in that ice cream are from organic and responsible farms? the simple answer is he doesn't.
if you really do hold values like that close to your heart, it's better to leave dairy and eggs out of your life altogether, oh morrissey, why heavens why?!!
