I don't know what to talk about. Everyone around me seems to be having a bad day. From reading the friends list it looks like one of those days where everything hits everybody at once. Topping it off, there's this:

A few others have already posted this link, but as many people need to see it as possible, just so you can understand the human races bottomless capacity for sickness. Kafka's The Hunger Artist is an unsettling, unpleasant story about one man and it's fiction. This is a group of people in real life.
As if that wasn't enough food-related calamity, those wacky supervillains from the Bizzaro-world that is PETA are at it again: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/16/fish.empathy.ap/index.html
I guess Kurt Cobain was wrong when he sang "it's okay to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings," huh? Then again, Kurt Cobain was wrong about a lot of things.
Don't get me wrong, If you want to be a vegetarian because it's healthier, because each bite of meat shortens your life by 3 months, because it takes 9,000 tons of grain to produce one pound of beef, or because of mad cow disease and uncontrollable rectal hemhoragging brought on by bacteria found in salmon, so be it. Fitness jihadist Jack Lalane just turned 90 on a diet of carrots and water and he can still kick your ass. Who am I to argue with him? But don't tell me I have to because of how mean it is to eat animals. I think animal raising conditions need to be improved, but anybody who thinks we're mean to animals for eating them never watched a tiger eat.
So I guess you're damned if you do eat and damned if you don't eat. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on this_is_necessary.
