Meat

Whether a big juicy cheese burger or a nice steak grilled to medium well.

And let's not forget carnitas tacos with homemade salsa.

I lived in a small commune at one point and most of my roomies were vegetarian. I didn't eat meat for a period of a year or so, but that was mostly because they cooked up such great food and the fact that I was broke. I do remember missing bacon.

I do prefer to eat animals who have been nurtured and respected (hunted even). The huuuge hunger for flesh is producing some entirely disgusting "farms" that no animal should ever set foot on.

 

I remember being a small boy in Missouri. We had a large garden (everyone did) so there were fresh

vegetables with every meal. My Mom had a good sized chicken pen so we had fresh eggs every morning

and fried chicken every Sunday after church.

At one point my Dad bought a year old calf and had it butchered and cut into everything from steaks to

ground beef.

No chemicals, hormones or "disgusting farm conditions".

I didn't realize at the time how good we had it.

I am not a meat eater, nor am I a vegetarian. I am, like every other member of the species of animal classified as homo sapiens sapiens, an omnivore. Our anatomy has evolved to digest an omnivorous diet and has adapted to gaining its nourishment and essential nutrients from a variety of food sources. 

A vegetarian is an omnivore that chooses not to eat meat, everything else is meaningless.

 

We've got to get better at capturing nuances, people...
