    Being a bird, it has been my finding that the bugs from the cows' backs are tastier when they are from a younger cows' back.

      being a number, i can attest to those statistics but considering standard deviation my finding has been that by applying humane methods to an older cow's rump they can be even tastier

        Being 69 you are easily divisible.

        So do you consider prime numbers to be virgins?

  • I think its delicious. I don't see anything unethical about it but what I do see unethical in the meat industry is poor living conditions and inhumane slaughtering methods. I think it greatly effects the taste if the animal is miserable too. I would rather eat something that was happily running around before it was unexpectedly shot than an animal that spent years in a small crate wanting to die.

          Eggplant parmer is one of the best dishes ever.

          Maybe the Eggplant were you live (some dry arid desert no doubt) is not as good as our Eggplant which when in season and cooked right can be almost sweet as banana.......I...I...just need to be alone right now.

            Take a frank, lay it on a plate, cover it with mozzarella and marinara. Microwave for 43 seconds then eat it.

            • That inspired me. I think I'll try a spin on this.

              I'll roll the franks in french fried onions for that crisp coating and switch the mozz for American and the marinara for ketchup. Instead of microwave, I'll broil it. That sounds bangin'.

              What should we name it?

      A lot of chicken, beef, turkey, pork etc. we buy or consume is from infant animals. When you consider how long these animals live before they are killed, and how long they're otherwise likely to live, they are virtually all AT MOST children.

      Even if you buy eggs, you risk supporting an industry which massacres male chicks by throwing them on conveyer belts which lead to grinders, that then mash them to death.

      Unfortunately anybody who eats meat will have a hard time not indirectly supporting the slaughter of baby animals, and will often end up eating baby animals themselves (whether they know it or not). So, in your eyes, the majority of people in the world are pieces of shit.

      You're aware that the veal market is mainly sourced from bobby calves?

      Cows must give birth once a year to maintain their milk supplies. The resulting calves = veal.

      Therefore, drinking milk is just as unethical as eating veal, because it is one major reason for veal production.

      • IDiGAFi

        You know something, I had no certain answer to what you said, you made me do some serious research last night. My whole life I had been led to believe that dairy cows were a special breed that gave milk all through the year, without the need for pregnancy. Turns out that's just a comfort lie for the kids. Even organic farms get the milk by getting cows pregnant and taking their calves away from them. I couldn't believe it when I read it, but turns out it's pretty much the only way to obtain a reasonable amount of it. And that's where all the fuzz about milk that vegans make comes from (something I really didn't get before).

        They say "Correct a wise man and he'll thank you. Correct a fool and he'll hate you forever". So I'll just say thanks and leave it there.

      • Because I've seen the way it's produced firsthand, and simply abhor it. People will go "oh it isn't like that" and let me tell you it is a horror, I have spent time on varying farms, and in slaughter houses. I saw a man die infront of me and wasn't moved in the slightest, I saw the "process" of creating veal and felt sick to my stomach.

        It's on the same level as dog fighting for me, I see someone training a dog to fight and they'll know what a fucking fight is.

      I'd seriously doubt the veracity of that report, given the fact that consuming human flesh is illegal everywhere (to my knowledge at least).

      • Actually it's not illegal. Procuring the flesh may prove difficult but not impossible. Flesh can be donated for this purpose (upon amputation or death). People eat human placenta as well, it's an organ although a "temporary" one. You can usually take your placenta home from the hospital no questions asked.

        I've tried horse meat and I didn't particularly like it -- too dense, not enough fat. Dog on the other hand -- which I ate frequently in the Navy when I would be in an Asian country -- is quite good if prepared properly. You can walk along the back streets and people will be roasting entire dogs -- head, tail and all -- on spits over a fire and they will slice you off some, dish up some vegetables and it is quite tasty.

          Again, I'm confused about how you think dogs are disease ridden vermin and yet will still eat them.

          I've heard dog is similar to bear meat which is one of the most nasty big-game meats in N America.

          Are you sure you weren't caught up in the moment of seeing roasted dogs and giggling with delight? Was it really that tasty?
