about

Ea­ting meat is just plain wrong. But what’s ter­ri­fy­ing to see is, that it’s wrong on so many le­vels. The so-​cal­led First World is using de­ve­lo­ping coun­tri­es‘ ca­pa­ci­ties to help it pro­du­ce cheap food. Still our spoi­led so­cie­ty is using only litt­le of the pro­du­ced ani­mal its­elf for its con­sump­ti­on. Sadly, the story doesn’t end here. To ma­xi­mi­ze the as­sets, meat pro­du­cers ex­port the un­salable re­mains of those ani­mals (e.g. chi­ckens heads) to Third World coun­tri­es. With the help of EU ex­port sub­si­dies they offer those ani­mal re­mains at an in­credi­b­le low price. In 2010 alone the EU ex­por­ted 480,000 tons of slaught­er­hou­se waste. While these ex­ports are not hel­ping de­ve­lo­ping coun­tri­es – but in­s­tead are wre­cking the re­gio­nal agri­cul­tu­ral sec­tor – they be­co­me de­pen­dent on our lef­to­vers.

lyrics

You grow the crops to feed our food, we want it all, it’s all our loot. But we won‘t let you star­ve and die. You can buy our waste, earning dou­b­le, kil­ling twice, that’s our way. Rea­li­ze that the food on our table is not just kil­ling li­ving beings, but also hope and fu­ture in far dis­tant pla­ces! We‘re going to kill you – with our diet, with our help, with all that we give! Cause we will es­ta­blish your ad­dic­tion. Fed to the death. We need to see, this con­nec­tion bet­ween all the sor­row and our con­sump­ti­on! We have to stop this mad­ness – now!
