I've never even heard of a food debate.

 

Perhaps that's the benefit of being a loner in the first place.

Believe me, the moment that you confess to carnivores that you don't eat meat... in 97% of the cases there will be a debate. Or - like in my case now - a carnivore monologue.

Yeah, conscious consumption of really anything these days is very difficult and often prohibitively expensive. Lucky to live somewhere where you have reasonable access to things that won't make you upset if you think about them.

 

As for the lamb thing, I agree, it's definitely a mental connotation thing. People will eat mutton without thinking, but lamb hurts. I recognize that technically lamb also implies younger (à la veal) but we don't really say "sheep" to refer to the meat and that upsets some people. 

 

I will just address this.

I agree with your point, but I have raised and slaughtered my own chickens and ducks for consumption, also my children now know where their meat comes from and you know what's important, they actually respect that they led a free-range life and that their death was instantaneous.  I don't do it now, honestly the reason being is that I don't like chicken that much and I would rather let someone else pluck a duck because it sucks.  And, I like eggs

Lamb along with Duck is my favourite meat, and I'm a typical carnivore. I did, though, become vegan for a year because (I'm not a tree-hugger) of the sh*it that is being pumped into the food chain. In the end I realised it was pointless because of the sh*it that is sprayed on everything and round-up being used to dehydrate grain. We're lucky now, I can buy grass fed meat where the animal has led a happy life and a quick slaughter and we grow a lot of our own veggies. Cheap, mass produced crap filled with chemicals and phytoestrogens makes for a sad Paragon. I would rather pay a premium for a decent product, but then how do people cope who can't afford that? It's a much more complicated situation than the way I make it out to be.

I'll say no more because it's not the place *drinks*

Edit: I'll just say, that when people hear the word lamb, they think they are eating these small, fluffy new born things. No ...... they are big motherfuckers I think just under a year old.

Understandable. I even went vegan once albeit for much shallower reasons.

That's too bad. I wouldn't debate it. I admire most of those views.. at least if it's about animal compassion. I don't really care to hear other points.

[Paragonslustre]

I think it is safe to say that beef is.  After all, it's what's for dinner.

 

 

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR (hey, that looks like Beer!)  No matter.

 

INCOMING!!

 

 

I'm so with Paragon. And as I'm tired of the food debate ( - for some reasons I don't get - these kind of discussions often are forced upon me) I won't say more.

Except for one point: Lamb is pretty yummy!

 

I platonically love you (snogs Raven), and I promise I'll shut up from now on

lol.. It won't unify me. I hate mushrooms..

 

I took one too many hallucinogenic shrooms back in the day.. I can't bear to even taste the slightest hint now.

Hon, you don't have to shut up. People who annoy me are those who have bad feelings about eating meat. While they are eating meat.

And truth be told, my reason for stopping eating it was that you can do something I can't. I'm not able to kill. In my weird mind that means that I don't deserve to eat anything that was killed.

... Well... and I don't want unnecessary antibiotics in my body

Very nice. Again, there's the matter of providence there. Many people live in places where having or raising any kind of animal is either impossible, illegal, or both. It's the bane of suburban/urban living, I suppose.

Okay. A little. Maybe.

While I only did it for two months, I can understand the benefits of going vegan.

I just really love meat and wasn't looking to drop 13kg at the time.

I've never seen that.  Silly..... but oddly accurate.

[Rel Fexive]

I respect your opinion, but as far as I am concerned, if you put your name on something then you are responsible for it.

Way I see it, for that he was a book publisher. He's not responsible for the bad ending a writer gave a book, he just published it. Wasn't even the editor. Don't judge everything he does by the sh*the other people wrote. But wotev.

Worms are a good source of protein, low in fat, and taste better than tinned meat if you don't have any ketchup handy.

 

Or so I've heard.

Hey Sis!  Yeah, all praise to Paragon for that.  I was expecting a santa hat, but really like that she went the Stetson route instead.  And that fawn...  *squees*

[Ashaantha]

Still not enough Santa hats!

 

Someone needs to stick a santa hat on Harrison for Rel...

I'll ask Santa for better Photoshop skills. Maybe it'll work out next year.

hahaha I'm sure this is on the list I've asked santa for every year, no luck so far!!

She's fairly awesome in the first Trilogy.

 

Snarky and ****, bit like you...

What trilogy? 

 

I'd say in the South (the historical South East, I mean) it's Pork that's bigger.

That's what I love about the South, all that delicious pork. At work on Thanksgiving, they served us pulled pork sandwiches from a local BBQ joint. Mmmmmmmm
