Animal Appeal

Well, it's about time I got in on this bandwagon.

Two bloggers I follow just recently posted on the hazards of eating burgers. I-am-beki waved goodbye to Quarter Pounders (with cheese, mind you. I don't know his stand on royale sans fromage * ), while Gibbs warned us about how burgers could shatter your life.

As an unrepentant consumer of dead animal remains, I appreciate the warnings about how beef by-products put our health at steak stake.When I am in the mood to eat (which, luckily for our animal friends, isn't often), I'm either in the mood for fine swine or something fowl. But if only Bessie is on the menu, I am not cowed by any potential bovine retribution from the grave.


Oh, don't have a cow, man!

Contrary to the exhortations of vegans, I offer no apologies for having no beef with eating something which had a face - not counting lovers past and present. Some of those I actually regret.

Besides, how can I resist? Just look at them:





Images from Thailand's Rachachuros Seasoning Campaign.

Now, offensive as these images of raw nudity must be to our vegan friends, I must ask them to respect my dietary preferences, in the same manner I scoff at respect theirs.

If we are truly what we eat, then I confess: I am an animal! An animal!! AN ANIMAL!!! MY BROTHER IS NOT A PIG!!!!




If there's a problem with that - eat me.


Buttons from The Liberal Store.

  10. i don't think i could ever go vegan. i don't eat vegetables.

    ReplyDelete
  11. @ engel : I eat salad and the occasional cauliflower, so I'm not totally against veggies, much as I would like to be.

    Vegetarians don't eat meat, but they will drink milk and eat eggs. Vegans, on the other hand, will have nothing to do whatsoever with anything that ever came from an animal, be it eggs, milk, or even gelatin (which is made from ground up and boiled collagen taken from cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues.)

    Yum.

  15. @ jonh stanley : Do you mind sloppy leftovers?

    @ i am beki: Ahahahaha thanks for your original post. Had it not been for that, I wouldn't have had my opening lines for this one. And yeah, they do serve mayonnaise with burgers in Amsterdam. I dunno about Paris, I don't recall eating anything there. So much for the vaunted French cuisine.

    @ Mr. Scheez : Are you soft and chewy, or hard and crunchy?

    @ jinnakexds3 : Why does everyone here sound hungry? They must be gluttons...for punishment. :D

  19. I see we're still taking bites out of this subject! Love your appetites.

    @ Herbs D. : You're a vegan? Srsly? Does your non-consumption of meat have anything to do with that burnout you were complaining about? Because I remember Margaret Cho once ribbing: "Do you know why vegans are so angry? Because they're hoooonnggggggraaaayyyyy!!!" *ducks*

    @ Mr. Scheez : I'd like to eat you with some fava beans and a nice Chianti, then.
