A Random Thought

I found this quote the other day: "Meat is Murder."

Well, technically speaking, meat is not murder. Meat is a complex organic substance extracted from an animal for the purpose of eating. Eating meat is also not murder. It is just one of a few ways of supplying your metabolism with things to metabolize. Killing the animal the meat is extracted from is the only thing that might be considered murder. I don't subscribe to the activist view and I probably won't stop eating meat for the time being. Which is not to say that I wouldn't ever change. I appear to have surprised myself by preparing vegetarian meals 5 days in a row now. Time for a steak, don't you think?
