So, I was in the cafeteria, and I wanted a slice of pizza, but the line for the "pasta station" was cutting me off from getting to the pizza.
I asked this guy "Hey, can you let me get to the pepperoni?"
"Psht, no, do you know how much energy we waste producing meat?"
I stare at him.
"You do know you have to KILL something to get meat?"
"Yeah, sure, I raised my own pig once!"
"And you killed it?!"
"Yup."
"What was its name?"
"Wilbur*"


*Those of you who have not read or seen Charlottes web may not get this. But this was a real conversation, and yes, I really did have a pig. I got it in a pig scramble at the county fair one year. That's how much of a hick I really am. I am bad@ss.

The weekend before Easter of last year, I was talking to an Ethiopian cab driver in D.C. He was giving me a ride home after a night on the town. He said that him and his family's tradition was to go up to this farm in rural Maryland where you pay for a lamb and then slaughter it yourself. I'm not sure of the method of slaughtering it. Maybe an axe, sledgehammer? This sounds interesting to me. I wonder how much it costs and what is the method of slaughter.

I don't have a clue. We just sent our pig to the butchers... I remember I was 5, and I was scared of that pig... hahaha... Good times.

Coming from Maine, I have more than one reason to eat meat. Meat is more redily available than vegan food (and much less expensive), some people actually do hunt so that they can suppliment their diet, and when I think of meat, I think of something that lived a reasonably good life, and died for a purpose, not something "factory" made. But, to each his own.

Plus... it's delicious... I love venison tacos...
