I work with kids who are afflicted with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). For most, this disorder sounds fairly innocuous. However, one of the chief symptoms is the inability to understand the relationship between cause and effect. Now, think about that for a while. The consequences are staggering. Our prisons are full of persons with FASD.

It would appear that there are many people who do not consider the effects or their causes in any serious way. As example, as long as I am making a buck, nothing else is of importance. It's the chief cause of the peril of the entire earth at this point. Think about that for a while.

We have our natural food tampered with all the time. There are dire consequences connected with what we eat. The simple fact that it takes roughly five pounds of vegetable protein to raise one pound of animal protein itself should give us pause: given that there are over six billion human animals on earth. Or perhaps, we are unable to see the relationship between cause and effect.

Why would we intrude into the life of the bee in any way?

Of course vegans do not eat honey!
