Oprah Winfrey cannot "WIN" and is not "FREE" !!!!!
By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.
I have mentioned Baltimore, Maryland U. S. A. or other regions of that State as the center for Satanism. Yesterday, May 7th or 8th, 2009, many of you must have watched on worldwide TV the US news about the huge natural gas explosion in Prince George's County Maryland, USA. This explosion had destroyed an entire Penn Mar Shopping Center right before every persons' eyes because it was video & broadcasted Worldwide. Similar to what I have said earlier in my blogs that Prince George's County is alias or a.k.a. The "Satan's County" because, to begin with, it was the hometown of U. S. President Lincoln's assasin John Wilks Booth. So the name "Satan's County" was given to Prince George's County since then. It was also true that many of England's early Kings were named George and almost all were enemies of the United States. So the spirits or ghosts of all those English kings & princes are now cooperation with Satan to bring about the down fall of the United States & Obama. This disaster was also Satan's way to punish Maryland's Black for supporting Obama instead of Maryland's native son John McCain who was a graduate of Maryland's U. S. Naval Academy in Annapolis MD. That episode was also mentioned here in the U. S. News & World Report. In addition, Baltimore was the place where horror expert Edgar Allan Poe died, Devilish football team "Raven" locates, Preakness race track, world famous Johns Hopkins Medical School & Hospital horrifying Death, the now troubled Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps which all of those mentioned have already "Sold their souls to the Devil" in Baltimore. Once again the theology of Satanism is now more than confirmed & well established.
We will talk about Oprah Winfrey's career on TV as reporters. She started at a TV Broadcasting station then channel 13 WJZ TV in Baltimore, MD more than 20 years ago. That was the reason why she was so successful because she had help for Stan but not anymore. She has sold her soul to the Devil. Now she has to pay back with her life, every she owns, and associated with. So all of you should know what will happen to her now when she has betrayed Satan. So Oprah Winfrey cannot "WIN."
Oprah Winfrey's Talk Show in the United States is equally unacceptable. A few days ago, the KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) had advertised in that show by Oprah Winfrey herself that when TV viewers went to their website and download coupons they can have KFC chickens for free. It happened that too maany people downloaded coupons and KFC cannot afford to feed too many with their chicken. The result was KFC has to cancell this free offer. So Oprah Winfrey is certainly not "FREE."
So Oprah Winfrey cannot "WIN" & is not "FREE"!!
The morals behind this are:
The Kentucky Colonel at Kentucky Fried Chicken had "Chickened Out" So are other generals & colonels of the United States!

Yeah! Lets blame the consumer! What a joke. Oprah please don't do business with kfc again. I waited over 25 minutes in line only to be told that they would not accept my free coupon. I ended up buying chicken meals, as did others. I can't believe they say they lost money in this! This was something I could not afford either as I am unemployed. My local kfc, Fullerton, CA, did not even have the courtesy to post a sign in the window. The grilled chicken was not that great, it was still greasy although not as bad as the fried. The doughy, greasy kfc bisquit doesn't compare to McDonald's. The Fullerton store didn't even have baked beans, but they did have cheap tasting mac and cheese. No one was going crazy at this store the way the media would like you to believe. Everyone was just resigned to buying their meal.

People who think they need to consume meat to be healthy should visit the website PCRM. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. If you care about your health and your childrens health, don't rely on the media or friends and family's opinions on what you should or shouldn't be eating. Use the internet as a tool to find out the truth.
I am a vegan - my son is a vegetarian and I spend less on food now then when we ate meat. This year we are going to grow us much food as we can on our own (I live in an apartment - but it can be done) and visit all the local farms for produce. I buy beans, rice and grains in bulk - save seeds and replant. We don't need to massacre billions of animals every year for so called low-cost food! Educate yourselves, people!
Oh - and don't rely on Oprah for advice - she says one thing and does another.

Oy, you are totally right - I knew they were concentrated, but sometimes I type faster than I think. I will correct that ASAP.

This comment is for "Narrow Minds". I am incredulouis that you think this way. It saddens me that there are people who still use that "cop-out" that "some people are just trying to put food on their tables" and do not give a darn about animal cruelty. That is just selfish, pure and simple. If someone cares that animals are horrifically abused to produce food that they themselves do not even eat because they have chosen to be vegan, you cannot tell that person to not care..to take up another cause. That is idiotic and shows how callous you are. No one needs to eat dead animals for nutrition or consume the life-giving milk specifically intended for the young they produce..it is an addiction that it perpetuated by beliefs big corporations have pushed on the public for their own profit. No one who witnesses the abuse in animal agriculture can really say it is alright to treat any living animal with such disregard. I am very disappointed in Oprah's decision to support KFC--of all companies, they are one of the worse. Oprah, I used to respect you.

It is good to see Ms. Winfrey finally coming around to a sensible position on food issues.
It would be nice to see Ms. Judkis doing a better job of writing her opinionated stories. She could at least get the initialism correct. CAFO stands for CONCENTRATED animal feeding operation.
Her remarks about chickens in "tightly packed coops where chickens are often unable to stand up or move" is just silly and shows that she has no first hand knowledge of animal husbandry. The chickens that Tyson sells to KFC are called broilers. Broilers are not raised in coops. Coops are used in small operations for egg producing birds. Tyson raises their birds on the floor in barns. If broilers can't stand and move, they can't eat or drink, which would prevent them from growing to market weight.
It is fine to have an opinion on things. But when one projects those opinions in a forum such as U.S. News and World Report, the author is engaging in the public trust of journalism. Such engagement begs competence and knowledge that Ms. Judkis is just not displaying here.
Mistreated animals don't grow wel.. The growth rates of Tysons' birds indicates that they aren't poorly treated. In modern production systems, broilers reach market weight in about 6 weeks. About 30 years ago, when I was raising flocks on my parents farm, it took closer to 12 weeks.
Tyson has used science to develop a modern production system that enables millions of Americans to obtain high quality food at prices they afford.
If you can have the time and want to go to the effort of being a locavore, a vegetarian or even a vegan, by all means go forth. You have the right to pursue your happiness.
But many Americans can't spare or don't choose to follow such dietary restrictions. Those are the people to whom Tyson, KFC and other food purveyors cater.

What? What about the people who don't give a darn about animal cruelity? What about the people who are only trying to feed their families? What about the million of people who are suffering throughtout the world? Are these comments from a bunch of upper class aristocrats with nothing better to do than take up a senseless cause. These are chickens bred to be killed. I never fathomed the idea that there were people out there who believed that they should be made comfortable while they waited to die. Take up a better cause and go to a shelter and donate some time to there or maybe you can adopt a child who is suffering by spending countless years in the foster care system. Some of them continue to suffer abuse (both sexual and physical) even though they've been removed from these very same conditions. Help them. Become an advocate for them instead of a chicken.
