I remember a scene from a Jamie Oliver cooking-show:
He was making burgers with vegetarian patties. The burgers looked okay, but you could see chopped bits of vegetables in the patty.

He fried them.
He put them into buns.
He added condiments.
Then he cut one in half and showed it to the camera and his vegetarian guests.
He squeezed it slightly and some thin red juice oozed out of the cutting-area of the patty and he said:
"Doesn't that look fantastic? Like meat-juice coming out of roasted meat!"

I don't think, his vegetarian guests liked that imagery.

Just so you know...eating animal parts from tortured animals that are feces laden blood and flesh dotted with hormones, maggots, intestinal parasites, mad cow disease virus, and other random filth from a slaughterhouse floor, with a smattering of cleaning chemicals for flavor, is not appealing to vegetarians.

The, uh, "cooks" shown in the video did not appear to be the brightest candles on the altar. Are they mentally challenged from long term effects of mad cow disease, combined with chronic long term daily abuse of methamphetamine?

A somewhat less-than-clever way to rationalize it. But I imagine we all feel the desire to get our non-consequential and petulant licks in when the opportunity presents itself...

Warning video shows animals being processed in "food plants." If your not prepared to see a portion of reality or are in a public place you may want to skip it.

That's a mediocre meatloaf, runied. Badly butchered (like those "chubs" of burger, straight from the slaughterhouse floor), raw or burnt, dirty, half-spoiled meat is not what being a carnivore is about.

There's plenty of room at the table for most, and plenty to eat, 'specially if the veggies make the veggies - from personal experience, I can tell you that a turkey fryer setup is the BEST for corn-on-the-cob for a mob, and a bag of red potatos in the pot don't hurt a thing!

Eat what you want. Don't try to "break" me because I can't be "broken".

Here's a way to "break" meat eaters if one was so inclined.

When 45 year old meat eaters look like this:



and 70 year old vegans look like this:



the benefits of eating right are pretty clear
