I could probably have done this better, but then you would not have anything to moan about.

# Meat is murder, actually.

# tasty, tasty murder

# Is there any other sort of murder?

# I see Ramsay's got a new show on of extreme foods for him to try
in one of them (possibly tonight) he eats the still beating heart of a snake.
I've some suggestions for future dishes he should try:
1. Shit from a diseased horse
2. A freshly circumcised foreskin
3. rusty nails on toast
4. lava bread made from real lava
5. and his own face so we don't have to see it (although that's probably the same as 2)

# I do not understand these programmes.
I know that meat comes from animals and am in no way surprised by this. Are townies really that dense?

# I think increasingly so
and kids to an even more disturbing level.

# There's no need for kids to know where meat comes from - just as no one knows where the components of computers come from.
Or plastic, or CDs, or clothes, or anything.

All they need to know is that they can go to a shop and get whatever it is they want in exchange for money.

# yep, that's pretty much the shape and size of it
and is why when asked what Crisps are made from so many get confused and say "apples" "breadcrumbs" and such like.

# Knowing where is comes from leads to eating better quality meat
I like my read meat very blue so am very fussy about where it comes from and how it's been stored.
Also chicken tastes of nothing if it's not free ranged and eaten good quality feed.

# Yes I agree.
Meat from Waitrose is better than meat from Asda.

# meat shouldn't travel too far either
which is why I get mine delivered on pizza, it only has to travel from cardboard box to my mouth then

# And meat from Morrisons is delivered fresh.
It's just by the time you actually get fucking served by the dumb corpse behind the till it's sprouting flies.

# This is not actually true.
Good meat is better than bad meat, but free-range chickens will, de-facto, be less tender than barn hens.

Not that I want the poor buggers barn reared, you understand.

# So?
I don't need to know about the forest-farming, wood-pulping, paper-making, ink-distilling or typesetting industries to buy a newspaper

# Precisely.
That's my point - all this nonsense about knowing where meat comes from like it would make a difference to anything if they did.

# Eh I think it was HT who posted this the other week:
www.animalsandsociety.org/assets/462_mitchellsa.pdf
"Whenever and wherever possible, it is important that nonhuman farming be portrayed as abusive in its essential character, even in its supposedly more benign forms such as “free range,” “traditional,” or “grass fed.” It needs to be apprehended by the public as a system in which nonhumans are held captive, mutilated, controlled, impregnated, castrated, and killed."

Which is quite frankly a load of shite

# depends on how you're reading that and how out of context you place it
I posted it the other week because it contained interesting stuff on how the brain filters things out and allows terrible things to happen (like the holocaust)

That said I do agree that we should stop making flouncy phrases and hiding from the reality of how animals are treated/slaughtered and processed for mass consumption. If people don't like it, stop eating the things.

# Well I've worked on farms, I've seen inside an abbatoir and I still eat meat
I agree that people should be better informed about where their food comes from but I don't think greater understanding of the field-to-plate-process would alter their choices much one way or the other.

# you're coming from the opposite side to who this is aimed at though
a startling number of people have no concept of where their food comes from or what is done to it to make it in to Mr Men shaped processed meat slices. This is about re-educating, not scaring off. Although if it does encourage people to eat less then its a bonus.

# Come Dine With Me yesterday was ace.
Featured a woman who wouldn't eat rabbit, because it's a rabbit.

But was happy to eat pigs, lambs and cows, though.

FFS. Either you eat meat, or you need to be shot for meat. That's it.

# so Jewish people should eat pork
because they eat chicken?
I think people should be allowed to choose what they don't eat. seems odd for mob rule to be applied there.

# As an agnostic
I think not eating a meat because a god might frown is a bit silly.

Hard to explain to some peasant about food safety so just say "it's gods will" and you're sorted.

not taking their veins, raping their ass or coveting their cloven hooves somewhat confusing.

# The "meat is murder" crew make about as much sense
It's all anthropomorphic bullshit anyway - this cow has a right to life but this carrot doesn't.

Hypocrites and shitehawks, the lot of them.

# The kind of sick fuck who doesn't belive in wasting meat
Got nothing against eating snake so why not the whole thing?

Is eating a snake any less moral than eating a lamb?

# And? All you've achieved is I just realised i've never eaten rabbit.
I'll be sure to correct that an the earliest opportunity.

I have an account with Kezie and have eaten everything on that page except camel.

# *checks profile* *see's link to blog* *understands*
Ah... thought you were just trying to shock didn't clock that was your blog.

Not bought anything from Kezie, was a bit wary of meat from the post.
Is it just vac-sealed or keep chilled somehow?

Also what would you recommend for a BBQ in steak form?

# Comes in a polystyrene chest
with loads of ice packs (which have weird frozen gel in them).

I like Impala above all things, although crocodile is excellent (but too expensive for everyday eating).

# Hmm impala it is then. You suggest rare, medium rare etc?
Although, tempted to get some crocodile for the opportunity to say to the missus...
"Get me a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy".

# An ex-gf refused to eat eggs
because she was 'lactose intolerant'. No amount of gentle persuasion shouting that eggs come from hens, not cows would persuade her otherwise.

Because eggs were delivered by the milkman and therefore were 'dairy'.

# As would the Duracell batteries.
Although the 9V ones can produce a nice zing on the tastebuds.

In fact, why does even just the thought of it trigger the taste on my tongue? Freaky.
