I wouldn't want to stop eating meat but wouldn't want to kill the animal. Makes me a hypocrite right enough but there we go.
I don't think I'd have a problem killing an animal for food, in fact I don't think I'd have a problem killing a dumb animal just for sport.
Dammit. I thought you might be Peter Ackroyd. That was one of his books was it not? I read that, and "Hawksmoor". Pretty good as I recall.
Never have, grew up a veggie from birth. My parents always said they wouldn't mind if I ate meat, one of my little brothers did for a bit, I just don't want to, it's ****ing rank. The thought of eating something that had a brain/blood/etc makes me sick. The meat industry is ****ed too, am very happy I have nothing to do with it. Also, bacon smells ****ing rank, I have no idea how you ****s eat it all the time.
Fair enough ... I liek vegetables but it defo a side dish for me. You must be one of the few veggies to say that " bacon smells ****ing rank" ... Meats ****in tasty ... and nothin better than a bloody steak.
I imagine the greasiness of meat would be rank for someone who hasn't ate it in a while. I had my first chippy for about 5 years a few months back, my mouth felt like a toilet afterwards with grease stuck to gums - no idea how I used to manage to eat that ****e weekly.
I don't eat that much veg, mostly salads. I'm lucky that I don't care about food really, I see it as fuel rather than something to get excited about. How people can eat stuff with blood oozing out of it baffles me...
Yeah, I rarely eat chippies and when I do, it's at home where I pat it with kitchen roll ... I dont eat "meat" from chippies - ****in rank (hamburger/king ribs) ... like a deep fried sponge! I try to only eat meat from the butcher or a farmers market ... when they know where it came from.
If I was veggie, it be veggie stir frys/curries etc ... salads are ncie but it needs chicken! Dunno, was brought up eating meat and my folks took me to nice restraunst when younger - ate steaks like me Dad ... the bloodier the better - adds to the taste.
Would you eat a bit of chicken if someone held a gun to the head of 2 other chickens and said they were going to kill those 2 chickens unless you ate the first one?
Nope. Animals die, I know that, everyone dies at some point. Me not eating them isn't saving chickens' lives, it's probably depriving chicken of life, but at least I know I'm not contributing to it. Also, chickens are ****ty animals, **** em
You'd still be fat - almost all the middle class people I met in India were pudgy, eating their veggie curries. I'd be about 6 stone if it wasn't for booze and meat.
