1.5m NEW VEGGIES
Plague cull turns nation off meat

MORE than 1.5million people have turned vegetarian since the foot-and-mouth plague began five weeks ago.

Shocked by the culling of 400,000 animals and the sight of funeral pyres, another 20million are considering giving up meat.

The figures threaten yet more misery for farmers already reeling from the impact of BSE.

They were revealed as cases of the disease rose 35 to 728. Tony Blair hinted there was no point in postponing local elections on May 3 - favoured for the general election - by declaring Britain remains open for business.

The Vegetarian Society said: "For the first time people are linking meat with the wholesale slaughter of animals."

Vegetarian firms have already reported significant sales rises. Food processor Farepack said yesterday its sales were a hefty 25 per cent down.

At the height of the BSE crisis in 1997, vegetarianism jumped one per cent to an all-time high of 5.4 per cent - about 3.3 million people.

But an ICM poll for Radio 4 showed the numbers have now soared to nine per cent, six million people. A quarter had given up meat in the last few weeks. A third said they were considering turning vegetarian because of BSE and foot-and-mouth

(Had to edit the number of people.)

Wonder if that will happen here.
You know how americans like their hamburgers, fries and cokes.

It's only a matter of time. God is taking matters into His own hands in a big way.

The striking feature of divine operations is the accomplishment of the greatest work that can be done in our world by very simple means. It is God's plan that every part of His government shall depend on every other part, the whole as a wheel within a wheel, working with entire harmony. He moves upon human forces, causing His Spirit to touch invisible chords, and the vibration rings to the extremity of the universe. --Manuscript 22, 1897.

Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to any human planning. There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.--Testimonies to Ministers, p. 300. (1885)
