Vegetables Suffer As Much As Animals!

It appears the further detached the American lifestyle becomes from nature and its’ natural processes, the more fashionable it becomes to eat, bathe and clean with organic fruits and vegetables. Vegetarian and vegan products have become the noble compassionate expensive diet of the politically aware who dismiss all animal products as cruel and dirty sustenance.

Is the rejection of traditional food chain items moral, industrial, or cultural? Most vegetarians not only reject industrialized farming for its animal cruelty, but the idea of eating something that has had blood pumping through its veins is somehow disgusting--and unfit for digestion (thus moving further away from our primal instincts). Many vegetarians and vegans believe the animal is a respected spirit that should not sacrifice its’ precious life to become a double cheeseburger. Are we rejecting industrialized farming and the luxuries of mechanization in favor of a movement back to earthly natural processes?.. Hare Krishna!..Hare Krishna!. What an enlightened Buddhist society we are becoming! We show compassion for animals through thoughtful lack of consumption rather than organic interaction. We have elevated animal rights to the level of the human…or have human rights fallen to the level of the animal?

Any news broadcast will confirm that yes, human rights have fallen to the level of the primitive, and we try to make up for it by becoming picky eaters that only ingest vegetables. But our vegetables are dirty--sprayed with nasty pesticides and growth hormones, so organic food emerges taking our vegetables back to a time when science did not interfere with farming… charging more for less interference. How progressive....or regressive?

Consumer chain suppliers have capitalized on the American’s desire to re-connect with nature and abandon dirty scientific chemicals- by mixing fruits and vegetables with clean scientific chemicals! Green cleansers derived from pure plant extracts are now postured as the heroic alternative to SOAP. One after another the natural nutrients absorbed from a Cucumber-Melon wash followed by a Tangerine Sugar Scrub, a Pineapple-Echinacea Exfoliator, Almond Moisturizer, Apple Blossom-Sandalwood Shampoo, and Pomegranate Tea-Tree Oil Conditioner provide a full day supply of Vitamins A, C and B12. Pure plant extracts cleanse our guilt away for manipulating nature so we would be free from its damaging unpredictability.

Consuming nature has never been so convenient.

Whole foods strategist Leo Selby sees the fresh produce market getting even more down to earth. ”Because Americans rarely connect food with nature, we will soon be bringing dirt into the stores so the consumer can actually pick their own organic vegetables. By simulating an organic harvest in the produce section, we hope to reconnect the public to its’ “Red” Earth Chakra, eliminating further desire for animalistic pleasures.”

Russian scientist Sergei Turgenev has spent the last 15 years devising a subsonic recording device similar to a Theremin used to listen to fruits and vegetables. “They are suffering. My research has confirmed that the life process for cultivated produce is just as painful and difficult as it is for livestock.” This stunning discovery is currently being subdued by the American Alternative Food Market. According to Turgenev, “ Before the vegetable is plucked from the plant it is sobbing uncontrollably. Once the separation from the parent plant has been made, the mature seedpod weeps for another 3 hours until it finally burns itself out and falls asleep. When it wakes up, it is at the store getting washed, waxed and placed carefully on display. This is the normal course of life for a piece of produce, the pain gives the fruit or vegetable more flavor.”

The cultural conscience shifting away from eating animals is an attack on the hunter and an honor of the gatherer. The mass acceptance of information technology has brought us the cult of the virtual life—which has successfully detached itself from the dirty laborious nature of the food chain. There is a very real connection between man, nature, survival, and conquest. Agricultural science has provided the conquest over nature that has made man’s physical survival easy, predictable and labor-free. Now we are fat and bored and the food is too clean and perfect. It doesn’t taste real anymore. So we try to buy back a piece of the “Organic Life”.
