...but veal really is just weird. I just can't eat it. If I'm gonna kill somthing it might as well be an adult, or at least a critter who got to USE ITS MUSCLES and move around.
 
If you want to eat animals that got to use their muscles to move around, then you should probably stop eating all meats sold in grocery stores.

I don't aggree. My uncle runs a dairy/beef farm and his animals roam around all day long, and they rae just sold as normal beef in grocery stores/normal milk in grocery stores, not even considered 'free range' but they have all the freedom they would ever need.

Veal calfs literally arn't allowed to use their muscles, in order to keep them tender. Thats a big difference to me.


The only thing that keeps me on the verge of vegetarianism is that I think it's weird that I'm so important somthing needs to die everytime I'm hungry.
 
Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun

They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done

Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums

He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun

But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
Cows are bummed

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
Cow well hung

Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
Run cows run!

He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads Amhigh
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

They crashed the gate in a great stampede
Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
Cows have fun

Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
Much cow dung

Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

The President said "enough is enough
These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers
Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

The wierdest thing is that I'll just be sitting there eating a chicken.
A) downright fucking disgusting
B) I personally didn't do anything to get said chicken. I just bought it at a deli
C) I think about how I would feel if I ate human. What's the difference? It's all meat.
Those three things make me not want to eat meat anymore.

just out of curiosity, are there any vegetarians here?

I was for a long time, until I ate some glorious glorious meat. I still don't like the taste of most of it (the reason I stopped eating it to begin with), but fresh from a butcher shop tastes oh so delicious. Factory farmed, flash frozen meat is so tasteless, what a waste of a good meal.
 
I had salmon once which BLEW ME AWAY and became my new favorite food. It wasn't until last fall in culinary school when we had to take our meat course that I got back into the rest of it. If I was going to go to so much trouble to prepare that meat, I was sure as hell going to eat it!

edit: but I still think poultry tastes like ass.
