Flesh-Eating

Continuing in my never-ending exposition of Naturalism v.s. the technological lifestyle, I've been thinking a bit about our consumption of the flesh of creatures less intelligent than ourselves. "Meat". Meat is something which never gets old and never will get old. While there are individuals today who will consume no flesh, there were people like that in the distant past as well. Such a thing can never catch on. It's funny that, two thousand years ago people enjoyed eating meat, ...ten thousand years ago people enjoyed eating meat. As long as there were humans and as long as there were animals people and all creatures enjoyed eating meat. And even ourselves, as we engage our high-tech computers and fly around in our planes and space shuttles even, we still find no satisfaction like the satisfaction of sinking our teeth into the flesh of another animal, the same as any hyena would. All other foods simply don't compare. I mean, who "makes shabbos" out of beans?

Ha. Nah, they eat their f--king veggie burgers. All that tofu stuff is much less healthy than meat in my opinion. יצאו שכרם בהפסדם.

Looks like I wrote "about of beans" by accident. How does that even happen? : )

thats the thing. those tofu burgers etc have soooo much sodium in them which is certainly not healthy. im not turning vegan any time soon.
