Ramblings From Justin Penney

So people are all up in arms about cloned meat. It's "yucky." Seriously omnivores, get over it. It's the same. Meat is meat is meat.

Lately I've heard a lot of meat eater complain about how gross it is. They want it processed, boneless, bloodless and looking like the cartoon image of meat. Well it isn't. It's a dead animal. Someone killed it, skinned it, plucked it, bled it and hacked it into to convenient shaped pieces.

I think it's ridiculous to lose touch with what you eat in that degree. I also think it's weird to discern between meat that you haven't ever had. "Oh that meat's gross. Unlike that other meat." I have noticed that the "gross" meat tends to be animals that people see whole all the time. I guess it's harder to disassociate from the death if you intimately know the whole animal.
