Maybe Ms. Hirt is astonished at the numbers. There is a remark in the fifth paragraph that has really thrown me for a loop. I don't believe that I have ever met a person who has told me I HAVE to eat meat and worship one male God on one day for one hour. I didn't know God had a gender. Maybe a hamburger would sound good to you if you went to church on Wednesdays for 40 minutes.
Fish have hearts that stop pumping blood as well.
And please educate me on this one. People have also said that seat belts are unsafe. I am sorry that Ms. Hirt does not like meat. I cannot think of anything nicer than turkey at Thanksgiving or ham at Christmas. I just wish Ms. Hirt would have written a more informative article.
