Read and watch the little movie thing...NOW! Its funny even if you arent into this stuff. The movie is only like 5 minutes long so just watch it and indulge me.

"The Meatrix" tells the story of Leo, a pig who lives in a fantasy world in which small, family-run farms still exist. Moopheus, the cow who leads the farming resistance, frees Leo from his delusions and shows him the truth: In the real world, animals are mass-produced on factory farms. Moopheus shows Leo how these farms are cruel to animals and destructive to the environment, and Leo joins the resistance to stop the factory-farming machine.

Got Beer? Better Than Milk!

Two years ago, PETA got a rise out of everyone from dairy farmers to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) with its tongue-in-cheek advisory to college kids that milk is so bad, nutritionally speaking, that even beer is better for you! MADD was mad, despite the fact that we made it clear that we only used beer for comparison purposes because no one thinks of beer as a health food; as a substitute for cow’s milk, health experts recommend soy milk, juice, or even water.
An August 13, 2002, Wall Street Journal article reports that beer “delivers protection against major ailments such as heart attacks, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and dementia.” According to Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School’s Guide to Healthy Eating (2001), a book that reviews all the science and all the studies, moderate alcohol consumption “protects against heart disease and ischemic strokes, and mounting evidence [shows] that it protects against diabetes and gallstones.”
