Yule kill babies


Yup, it's that time of year again. Retail outlets groan under the weight of fairy lights, plastic ornaments and thousands of trinkets that nobody needs. Household carbon emissions skyrocket as humans compete with one another as to who can use the most electricity in the tackiest manner and friends and family sit down to eat dead babies.
Oh yes, Christmas is wonderful. I wonder how Christ would feel about his birthday being celebrated via mass murder and desperate consumption? I have trouble imagining Jesus with a Lamb under one be-robed arm and a knife held under it's quivering little neck.
I cannot really reconcile the 'Prince of Peace' smiling benignly as a tottering calf is lead trustingly to the bolt-gun.
Please people, if you have any compassion this Christmas, consider not contributing to the vaults of death and fear this festive season.
Lamb =baby sheep, frightened, torn away from its mother and slaughtered before it knows what life is
Veal -baby cow, as above and locked in a crate, fed a diet deficient in iron for whiter meat, and hacked to pieces.
The worst part of this? Many people will read this blog, laugh uproariously and make a joke about quaffing baby things.
I know you don't want to think about it, but it's time to. If you have any compassion left in you, why not try the amazing array of fruit and vegetable available to us in this country for Christmas? A huge platter of tropical fruits, roast potatoes with rosemary and sea-salt, sweet-potato pate and crackers, French salad with avocado. asparagus, walnuts and nashi pears, green beans with garlic and chilli, roasted cauliflower with garlic pepper, stuffed zucchini (rice, tomato, lentils, spices), glazed pumpkin with toasted almonds and cumin, Lychees drizzled with passionfruit and Grand Marnier, Grilled Flat Mushrooms stuffed with pesto, Char-grilled corn with chilli, Thai rice balls, Polenta and Char-grilled meditteranean veges, Tapioca pudding made with Soy, Rice or almond milk, Sweet-corn and zucchini fritters with fresh tomato salsa, Fried aubergine fritters, Baked tofu stuffed with wild rice and mushrooms, .....
Hunger =stuffed!
Tastebuds = truly overwhlemed
Trans Fats =negligible
Cruelty =none

This is not a difficult concept people. Choose not to contribute to death this Christmas.
