Poll - To Eat Meat, or Not to Eat Meat?

Kitsune · 08-09-2004, 03:25 PM

cannibalistic, even.

The hell? What are you getting at?

Then they invented stuffed crust pizza, and I was a goner.

I still have pizza, just not with meat. Yeah, sounds boring, but I'm a total sucker for a local place that makes one with artichoke, garlic, and cheese. And yes, its tasty.

I used to have willpower.

This is what I find so odd about my recent change in eating meat -- I don't have much of an urge to eat it, anymore. I started eating at places that serve some outstanding veggie and fish stuff and, after some weeks of it, the idea of eating a huge, greasy burger seemed really unappetizing. In fact, anything with large amounts of visible fat seems really disgusting. I still go for a loaded up chili dog now and then, but we're talking once every six months or less. And BBQ has to happen at least once a year. Outside of that, I'm very content to avoid the stuff.

Although having fish as a primary source of protien just isn't nice on the wallet, I have to say. The moment I become broke, again, this is all very likely to change. Chicken happens specifically or money reasons, along with tofu although I only like the kind I get at the French-Vietnamese place up the street, the little Japanese place in town, etc. Home cooked stuff is a lot more difficult in terms of taste. Bleh!

Addition: you can be, by the way, a vegetarian and still eat really unhealthy, just as you can eat meat and continue to eat healthy. I know some people who eat no meat at all and could stand to lose 10, 20, or 60 pounds.

Sort of a 'we eat our own' backhanded reference.

Obviously, my attempts at humor here lately are falling pretty damn short. I think I'll slink back into a hole and contemplate my relationship with my fellow beings for a little while.

Umm... I just didn't understand. Maybe I'm missing some previous posts or something. No harm intended.

But I am hungy, now.

None taken. I think I've lost my humor knack. It probably rolled under the desk here somewhere.

Of course we do but only the dead ones, after all we're not savages.

once upon a time i was in a band that regularly played shows inhabited by straighte-edge vegans. we as a band always set up part of our product booth in the name of promoting dead animal and beer consumption. it used to make those kids damn near sick watching us drink beer and chew on meat.
now pass the beer steak.
