If "meat is muder", aren't vegetables too? Far more insects are killed during a harvest than killing a cow, no?

I think most vegetarians haven`t even been to a farm. They get their `facts` from PETA movies. Our cows roam freely in a pasture of a little over 100 acres during the summer! We take them hay to supplement their diet. They are not given hormones. When they are at the farm during the winter they are fed silage (which is corn), grain corn, and pellets. Normal food you would feed your pet cow. They are fed because they are hungry not to put weight on them. You don't want to put to much weight on a cow, it just makes them fat. You want a lean healthy cow. They are bred and sent to a dairy farm where they roam the fields and come in when they want milked. Occasionally we do get one or two slaughtered for the freezer. It is much much healthier than processed meat you get at the store. Oh and we use the cow `waste` to fertilize our corn and soy bean fields, much better for the planet than using fertilizers manufactured in a lab.
