    I see the jerks are responding pretty much as expected. I didn't quite eating meat because of some limp-wristed foofrah ideal - I did it because of cruelty to animals, and because of the environment. Chickens are tortured from birth to death, hog farms dump shit into our waterways, cows destroy prairie, it seems that they all get fed antibiotics, or get fed Frankencorn. For too long, cows were fed cows, chickens chickens. That's an example of economics trumping sanity. The meat industry is just ugly. And the people who deride vegetarians are just assholes.

    I don't have a problem with hunting per se, although it does seem that too many are duck-heads. When a hunter kills for food - and makes sure of the kill - that's fine.

    Maybe I should move to Hawaii, and for meat, eat only feral pigs that I kill myself. Help the environment, don't subsidize the meat industry (except through taxes and policy on public lands, of which there's too much), and eat all the pork chops I can catch.
