*People Eating Tasty Animals
(From Animal Crackers via Science and Politics).
My motto is, I'll stop eating animals when the animals (I'm talking to you blackflies!) stop eating me.
Chicken for lunch. Poodle for dinner (I wish - I've got to do something about my damned dog...)
Careful, Tara.
You don't want the AIDS deniers, anti-vacc folks *and* the PETA people against you.
People will never be able to get a snarky comment in edgewise.

Sacred cows make the BEST burgers...
Well, I would not force a vegetarian to eat meat, and I am not going hunting today, either. I am super-skinny and have a very fast metabolism. If I do not eat meat at least once a day, I feel hungry and eat junk all day long.
The idea behind this "holiday" is to raise a glass against PETA and eat meat as you usually would do, but perhaps choose a species that you do not eat every day, perhaps venison instead of chicken. I think we'll go out tonight and get something like that at a restaurant. No animals will be killed because I ordered it to be killed - the meat is already in the restaurant's freezer and if I do not eat it, somebody else will or it will be thrown out.
I'm an omnivore, but not exclusively so.
A little gratuitous, boys and girls.
I am a conscientious objector to factory farming, so I do not eat meat from such places. I have eaten pasture-raised beef (very good and good for you), and would happily eat venison and wild pig (a true pest here) if I knew the hunter to be ethical and a damned good shot. I am many hours' drive from farms and ranches where I could find truly free-range fowl for eggs and hoofed creatures, so I do without except for the occasional splurge at a whole foods market.
Go back and read some of your comments--they look a bit reactionary. Then go to a slaughterhouse, or heck, just a feed lot where the cattle stand about in their own feces and are fed a food their systems were never meant for. And then give a thought to factory farming and H5N1.
On the other hand, I'm a vegetarian who will stand firmly behind your right to eat whatever garbage you feel motivated to fit in your piehole. Please extend me the same... uh... courtesy. :)
