It's not even a close contest. Carrier gets caught saying things that are either misleading or flat-out wrong. It's hard for he not to regard him with the same contempt that I have for, J. J.

For example, I show videos put out by the meat industry itself, undercover videos by the Humane Society, etc. What's fascinating about this is that even in the meat industry videos, you see horrendous over-crowding. It all looks cleaner, but the animals can't move.

I often bring up the biased presentation of PETA videos in my class (since I show one), and he's kind of right about his water use argument. (Granted it rains, and thats part of the water use, but he neglects to mention that aquifer water use when it isn't raining, Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627147979307495870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-31083229651560959512012-04-29T11:04:19.053-05:002012-04-29T11:04:19.053-05:00I had never heard of these two before, and I'm...I had never heard of these two before, and I'm in no position to evaluate their academic disputes.
