Agree with many, particularly Michael.
Although we both grew up in NYC and were city rats, we now live in the country.
Remember going to a market in the city where they slaughtered the animal in front of you, for us chickens or a goose, but they would also do lambs.
So we have no illusions about how what we eat got there.
Today we purchased some Angus sirloin steaks for $2.99 a pound (I know Angus is a breed and not a grade, but purchased them unwrapped in the butcher's case, and they are purrty good). Am glad for the bargain.
Was the exit of that animal pretty? Heck no.
But I am willing to accept that.
And I can fully understand why others may not want to.
We often eat meals without meat. Not by intent, but because the recipes we choose do not include a meat ingredient.
Have no issues with vegetarians or vegans, to each, God bless, his/her own.
It is just that I know many are trying to take away our right to eat meat.
And that rankles me.
But I have been rankled before and everyone on this forum is great.
So will just shut up.
God bless.
