Eating deep-fried Twinkies is okay. Smoking them is something else.

where identifying with the progressive vanguard has made eating a serious form of self-definition

And people wonder where all the eating disorders in teens come from? Check out their parents!

I’ll give it a shot. Ship me a cooler full of 16oz rib eyes and I’ll report back on any blog you want me to post on.

It just wouldn't be the same knowing that this wasn't some sentient creature slaughtered so I could gorge myself on its flesh.

Wow, did that article ever had a lot of words! But somehow it all just sounded like “yada, yada, yada” to me when I (briefly) tried to read it.

Looks like they faked the Pic!

WTF is this? No Bacon? No Maters? Mustard? (although the Bun is nicely grilled ... hopefully on Bacon Grease)

Hope that Cheese is the real deal and not Margarine in disguise (aka American)

You care about animals and feel at least some remorse about the costs of eating them, but meat is still for dinner. Why? The answers are varied: tradition, masculinity, a prehistoric preference that gave us our big brains.

What about the fact that it is a biological imperative?

It's pretty obvious from all these attempts to make fake meat that resembles the real stuff that vegetarians and vegans are just as much carnivores as anyone else. If they were not natural carnivores, they would not expend so much effort trying to make fake versions of the real thing.

And where is the scientific evidence that meat is bad for you? This is a trope that vegetarians and vegans have been mindless repeating for years--and there still is not a shred of solid scientific evidence to support it.

Ugh, fake laboratory-made meat. Most vegetarians and vegans are nature-worshipers and will not let anything "unnatural" cross their lips. What could be more unnatural than artificial meat?
