Zuckerberg kills what he eats

[tangor]

acebook's billionaire boy genius, Mark Zuckerberg, is a confessed killer – and he's proud of it.

"The only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself," Zuckerberg told Fortune. "So far, this has been a good experience."

Among Zuckerberg's victims have been a lobster, chicken, pig, and goat. The lobster met its maker in a traditional boiling-water death, à la Woddy Allen's Annie Hall. The chicken, pig, and goat got the knife.

Amazing... posted this bit of FOO with no comment. Waited to see if comment occurred. It has. So now I'll add my own comment:

Been in places and times where what you killed is what you ate... or starved. Like salad as much as the next, nuts and herbs, too... but it has always come down to live or die... I chose to live. There is something to be said about killing (veggies get killed, too) your own food as there is a greater appreciation as to source and the nature of things. There is also something to be said about the food industry (what some mistakenly call "agriculture") which has prevented mass human starvation on global scales since the 1800s.

If Zuckerberg wants to embrace the hunter/gather beginnings of Homo sapiens sapiens, hat's off. But he's a bit late considering the number of chickens, pigs, and cattle (deer, javalina, birds) I've offed, butchered, parsed into the freezer to eat over a six month period (waste not, want not) over the years.

Had a great chuckle the other day. Saw an editorial in one of the on-line blogs which (paraphrased) said something like: "Bad hunters! Why kill innocent animals when one can go to the local grocery where they make meat!"

Shades of Soylent Green mentalities...

OMG so disgusting. Totally cruel compared to going to the supermarket and buying it chopped up already ;). People want to sometimes forget how it's done.

I'll doubt Zuckerman had as much fun tho...

My Mom walked in the house holding 2 freshly killed chickens for Sunday lunch, feathers and all. My Aunt and Cousin getting dressed in the other room saw this and dove out the open window in their underwear. Needless to say, our next door neighbors got a nice show.

My Aunt had issues eating meat at our house because she didn't like eating anything she'd actually met. she preferred the anonymous supermarket meat.

Nothing like sitting down to dinner hearing "poor little piggy" every now and then to crack you up!

Now with modified atmosphere packaging, they can kill it, pack it and truck it further from big population centers further eliminating the need for local butchers, (and it looks so "red" and fresh)... mmmm nitrogen!

On another note: Too hungry to wait long, went to a diner and asked waitress which would come first Chicken Salad Sandwich or Egg Salad Sandwich.

We all kill what we eat, if we didn't WANT it it wouldn't be killed.

When you can look the cow in the eye and put the stunner to his forehead and send him to the slaughter, only then do you really deserved a slice of the cow.

Doing that to a sappy-eyed cow is one thing, but over the weekend I had a bison burger. Not sure I would want to go eye to an eye with a bison...

Maybe I will try also - LOL - I dont think I will be able since everyone will want to do that all animals will be done

what rubbish - the nearest he has been to a chicken is in a restaurant beng served by all the people ( IMHO) he screwed on the way up .. and will be laughing on the way down when privacy laws catch up with the current facebook position. _{All my personal opinion and published under freedom of speech legislation every country.}
