  3. So now your advocating cruelty to animals by kicking livestock??
    Presumably to death, so you can eat them in secret, gnawing away at the goodies in the marrow like a rat of some description, while you serve your "friends" a plate of some sort of vegetable matter.

    Seriously though, I love a nice salad, just always seems to go better with some fetta or cottage cheese, and....maybe some fish, shellfish, or animal bits evenly distributed through it.

    I suspect your correct that it is possible to actually eat an omnivorous mostly vegetarian diet, but its a matter of conditioning, and learned behaviour to go vegy, even partially.

    Human beings have fat receptors on their tongues; it's evident, with modern obesity epidemics, and the sheer availability of junk food/processed food, that this particular survival mechanism has gone berserk.

  4. Here's a great recipe, I picked up from a nomad while hiking through turkmenistan;

    The translation is possibly dodgy, but hopefully it makes sense.




    "Gather every green thing you can see, that doesn't make you mouth burn when you chew it raw, and throw it in a pot of simmering water.
    Let it simmer for a few minutes, up to half an hour, then throw in a goats head, preferably fresh.

    Let it simmer/boil for about 3 hours, until the flesh falls off the bone, and serve with fermented horse milk as an appetizer/afterdinner palate cleanser."



    Hmm, actually, that doesn't sound very vegetarian. Doesnt even sound very foodworthy. Still, comes with the territory of trying to make plain greens tasty.

    I'm not a vegetarian, but that salad looks pretty good.
