We talk about protein and the need for it to feed muscles, but the most powerful animal in the jungle, the gorilla, lives on leaves.
Kill It Cook It Eat It! Page 8
There is protein in vegetables like dark green veggies. They are lots of meat benefits found in veggies. It's just that meat tends to have an abundance of it. If you are veggie, I think that's great! It shows you care so much!
Or care too much, perhaps!

Have to disagree the most powerful animal in the jungle is the elephant 
But they eat leaves so you're still right.

That sounds a bit pervy to me.
I watched Country File this morning which sowed the differences between intensive and free range pig farming. In intensive the mother pig is in an area it can't turn round in.
It's all driven by supermarkets cutting prices and while I do sympthise tremendously I have see what I can afford - and I do much prefer meat over fruit and veg.
Prove me wrong Marion on your weekend do.

Totally. I'd love to be able to buy more free range stuff, but I just can't afford it, especially with no discernable difference as far as taste, smell, etc goes. I can't even be sure that what I'm paying through the nose for really is free-range, organic, whatever.
Farmers make something like 30p profit from each chicken they sell onto the supermarkets. 
I always get free range chicken and eggs.
But then I go to McDonalds and eat their burgers, so I'm hardly consistent.

I honestly don't know if that's supposed to be good or bad...

We get free range eggs straight from a local farm, but I don't think we ever really get normal meat as free range. Particularly when I'm off being a poor student, I just can't justify it to my very tight wallet. When I'm a billionaire, that'll be a different story.
I stopped eating chicken from McDonalds, the only chicken I have ever eaten cos I hate the taste, cos I saw some footage of chicks being gassed. This was about 3 years ago.
Still eat alot of crap though. Maybe they should beam these images directly into your brain everytime you think about some cheap takeaway.
Yeah, but it tastes soooooooooooo goooood.

Same here!
McDonald is like rape of the digestive system. You partly consent by buying the burger but I don't think you consent to all the bollocks (on so many levels) that's packaged away inside it.
I don't eat it often. I'm very good. When I do, it's usually the happy meal!
