Why meat?

Why not?

Meat is delicious and filling - the stuff that warms the soul.



Would you believe me if I told you that I was a vegetarian for twelve years? True story. I wouldn't touch any food with a face between the ages of thirteen and twenty-five. Then something interesting happened to me: I got hungrier. I would look around and see people dining on meat, tasty, succulent meat. Suddenly, I wanted some.

Don't get me wrong - I love animals, even the creepy ones that most people find repulsive. I once let a rat eat crackers out of my hand. How's that for love?

Still, there's a fine line between love and hunger, and in my case, the latter got the better of me.

But if I'm being honest, the title has nothing to do with actual meat. It's an inside joke from college. More on that later, perhaps.
