Food Wars

Right now, some "militant vegetarians" are complaining that some Chipolte commercial that says you can get a good vegetarian meal at said restaurant does not go "far enough" in condemning  meat eating.

On the other hand, I saw a (fat) guy this last weekend wearing a tee shirt that said, "my food poops on your food".

As far as I'm concermed  --  A POX ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES!!

I eat just about everything.  Meat, fish, veggies, etc.  I do not eat bugs, nor do I have much taste fr artichokes, alligator, snakes, etc.  Does not mean I do not, or have not, eaten same in the past.

As I've aged my taste for beef has diminished  --  then again, after eating some really good beef recently, perhaps the taste of beef has diminished.

Back to the topic:  This "fight" between meat eaters and vegetarians is just another way of ignoring the real issues facing everyone today.  It's another way for self styled "real men" to hate on those they see as "effete liberals".  The veggie folks sneer at those "neanderthal meat eaters"  --  the "wanton killers", etc., etc.

In my opinion they are all full of shit.  We are omnivores.  We need the protein meat supplies.  We need the bulk and vitamins veggies supply.  We need the oils fish supply.  We need a "balanced diet" (whatever that means).

Back in the "old days" when bacon was just bacon (and tasted a lot better than it does today) we had a tendency to eat much better than we do today.  People were thinner.  Usually more fit.  Not the "hard bodies" we see today but fit.  As I recall men did not need Viagra, Cialis, or any of the other "boner meds".  Often the closeness to a willing female (or male) was enough.

We are beset by run amuck marketing, "historians" who peddle bold faced lies, "political leaders" who will do ANYTHING to gain re-election, and people who will do ANYTHING to de-humanize fellow citizens.

We are losing whatever Democracy we had, the NSA is "monitoring" EVERYTHING, and folks worry about what FOOD YOU EAT.

GET A GRIP!!
