    Yay steak!

    "Your body kills living beings by the thousands every day. If you didn't, you'd die. Bacteria, viruses, disease... are all 'living beings'. By the very nature of our existense we must kill other life forms to survive."

    True, but now we're on the very macrobiotic of levels. Seems like a bit of a schtickler argument to me: a valid point but a point not really related to us eating all these yummy carcasses. Let's get back to those. Or otherwise we might end up agreeing to something bizarre and uncivilized, like man must kill every other man in order to survive. We've the ability to choose to coexist, but not always the mind to.

    The answer, I believe, is as always in moderation. We're raising animals with brains so that they can feed animals which we will later feed upon. It's almost ridiculous where we are.
    While I could never give up fish, meat or poultry, but I'd sure invite more initiative to eating less of it.

    Alas when the McRib returns...

    • how the fuck did that "but" get in there?Peter
