And as far as advertising for beer on the college campus, I'm not sure about the others here, but beer companies advertise on all the college campuses I've been to, and I see it as no more harmful than those ads or having bars or seeling alchohol on the campus.

Despite the fact that I work for a Humane Society, I think PETA really overdo things. It's important that animals are treated as humanely as possible, but pissing people off is not the way to go about it! I was actually an avid vegetarian for four years, but fell off the wagon....
__________________Anyway, I have always been an avid consumer of dairy (especially when I wasn't eating meat), but what worries me (and makes me feel guilty) at the same time is that I have heard that the cows are forced to stand in those stalls day in and day out, remaining pregnant all their lives, in order to produce the milk. That doesn't make for a very happy life for the mass producing cow, to say the least. ![]() I'm not sure what can be done about it, of course free range farm cows and milk are best, but that is expensive. |

Yeah Mrs. Edge, that's what drives me nuts, is how expensive it is to buy organic/free range/humane blah blah stuff.
Factory Farms are just evil for what they do to the animals (which then gets past down to us the consumer) and what it does to family farmers and something needs to be done about it, I don't think it's taken seriously enough because it's not covered that much in the media. It's going to take a lot of people getting involved before any big change happens. It needs to be more accessible and less expensive in order for people to purchase the humane products over the other. |

Fact : the put family farmers out of business...it's not difficult to find inoformation on factory farms if you are not familiar with their practises I suggest reading up on them for yourself.
I don't know what myth you are refering to but I wasn't talking about any myths... |

but, i'm sure people still drink. at the very least, i know a friend of mine who attends college there too. we've lost touch since we started going there, but i know in high school she'd throw back a couple (we're talking 1-2 beers max) at a party. i'm not naive in knowing that i'm sure lots of people in my classes drink, i just can't believe how many underage people do it, and how people act like keggers are a part of college life, although the average person only goes to college for 4 years. you do the math. if you start @ 18, you'll graduate by 21. (like me!) if you start @ 19, it'll be 22, and so on. that's not very much time where you can legally drink. luckily, i don't know anyone in the other two categories (not yet at least) and there's been no widespread stories since i've been going there about someone dying in the hands of alcohol on campus. at the very least, i don't think my school's paper would allow an alcohol ad, even if it was something slightly satirical like the got beer? ads. they don't even advertise cigarettes in the paper, so i guess this isn't even an issue for my college. ![]() btw, i go to a public college, a state college at that.
