I was once up a mountain with some strangers whose dinner in a bag from market was a very placid live rabbit. I asked to be able to kill it, but they said I didn't know how, and it would be inhumane.

Not compared to the way they did it, big manly men. It took them forever. At least I'd have taken my mother's lead and broken its neck first. Then do the cutting bits.

I got them back when I asked which serving the testicles had gone into. They both stopped eating. Halloo! Food prep!

I have to go back to work. Meh. And we have new rules going into effect about breaks which promises endless kvetching. I shall steel myself against the whingeing, for i have internet research to catch up on.

I'm fairly certin i couldn't kill much other than a fish. Interestingly, I've been thinking I need to change my food choices at least partly based on that idea. I may never give up meat, but I've been thinking that is a good reason to eat less.

I admire people who give up meat for environmental impact reasons. That's what some friends of mine did. It would be hard for me to do because I'm already so damned picky about what I'll eat. Taking out an entire category of stuff I like would really make things hard. But I am trying to use meat more like a "seasoning" on cheaper foods than as a course in itself.

I am often vegetarian somewhat accidentally (she says, as she eats the hot dog she grabbed at a stand on the way home). I don't like to cook raw meat, and I actually quite like tofu in many things. So, there's that. But vegan I can't do, I eat wayyyy too much cheese.

Seriously.

Cheese and I have a committed relationship.
