Let’s Talk About Meat

I have been thinking for a while about writing an article on one of my favourite subjects: food. I finally made the decision to do it when I went to a cocktail-tasting event tonight and spent more time eating hors d’oeuvres (e.g. meat on a stick) than drinking.

So what is meat? Some people just count pork, beef and the like. Others will throw chicken into the mix. And another school of thought (the one I fit into) says that anything that was once an animal can be considered meat. (And by the way, if you’re reading any sexual innuendo into this article, it’s purely in your mind, you pathetic dirty-minded loser.)

Let’s classify the different types of eaters shall we?

Herbivore - one who eats nothing but, uhhh… herbs I guess.

Carnivore - one who eats carnie folk

Omnivore - one who eats omniscient people. Didn’t see that one coming did you?

Goat - one who eats plastic and carbon-fibre

So what about someone who eats only animals that eat other animals? You know, like wolves and lions… we need a name for them. They’s a tough bunch. Time to ponder…
