I have been debating eating humans latley, I really see no down side.

Tofurky

the fact that tofu turkey and tofu bacon even exists proves that man is supposed to eat animals.

Couldn't agree more. Anyone who would go hunting, gut, clean etc should totally eat animals. The other 99% of the population? Not so sure.

does hunting at the supermarket count?

i don't hunt, but it's because i don't want to sit in a tent in the woods so i can shoot the elk with the biggest horns i can find. however, i can say with 100% certainty that if you told me the only way i would ever eat a steak again would be if i hunted and killed my own cow, then i'd grab a chainsaw and get to it.

in quasi-related news, i've seen advertisements for a class on craigslist where they'll teach you how to butcher a chicken. it's at a farm up in cave creek, and evidently you go, find a chicken, kill it, de-feather it, and clean/butcher it. this is the sort of thing i'd like to learn how to do, and it's the only place i've seen it offered other than places like culinary school (which i'm also totally down with, but that's more oriented toward meat fabrication and preparation than the actual killing of an animal). but even if i pass this class with flying colors - and i would think that would be pretty easy as long as the chicken winds up dead - i don't see myself having the opportunity to do a lot of actual chicken butchering. you know, on account of a pre-butchered chicken being pretty easy to score just about anywhere.

until the apocalypse.

You should learn how to butcher a chicken for Einhorn. Butcher and eat it on stage.

i wouldn't want to kill an animal just for the spectacle. that would be cruel. but if i was going to kill an animal just for show, it would be a cat. i don't like them. yeah, i said it.

also, if i killed a chicken, i'd want to cook it fully before i ate it - i wouldn't want salmonella or anything. i'd probably baste it in butter and herbs, then roast it and serve it with fingerling potatoes and maybe a nice corn salad. that could make for a pretty long einhorn show.

fatter than cows? Doubt it, but isn't the fat where the flavor is? I mean, I am not going to eat Ethiopians.

Then eat away my friend. This is my only point.

my gf is going to do that. we're going to have chickens for eggs and you can also buy "meat birds." i guess you only raise'em for like 18 weeks before you would kill'em and butcher'em. i'm not as into it as she is. kinda weirds me out to raise something just to kill it and eat it. and when the apocalypse comes, bullets are going to go farther than culinary skills. so i'm letting her handle the garden and chickens while i go shooting.. ha

so would you eat meat if you hunted and killed it yourself? i'm genuinely curious.

No. I think its a good conversation for people to have with themselves though. I want no part of what puts an animal on my table, hunting, factory farmed or otherwise, so I don't eat meat. People that have thought about it and are ok with it, like you're saying...enjoy.

i cant stop eating trader joe's ginger cats cookies. seriously. i think i just derailed my hour of spin class

[Tony]

slow cooked some baby back ribs tonight. it was on a gas grill, so it was sort of cheating, but did low heat and added hickory to a smoker box and cooked a rack for like 3 hours. i have the meat sweats.
