Meat Mad?

Permanent vet jobs are few and far between. That never used to be the case. Back when I had my first cat I used to see the same vet over and over, but nowadays it’s a different vet every time. Which leads me to something else: another thing that has changed is the looks on peoples faces when I say “I love my meat.”(Although I should say I do not condone eating pets in any way.) At one time in my life I used to live above a take-away and the take-away dudes were like a family to me. But even I, meat-lover extraordinaire, can see that vegetarianism is quite clearly the much more favourable option of the two: it’s good to animals, it tastes not too bad, and it’s also healthy (if not a bit too healthy, if you get what I’m saying). But there is one problem I have with the vegetarian food industry, and that is the way that instead of creating brand-new vegetarian exclusive products, they copy the sausage and the burger!

Bring this lewd hypocrisy up with a hardcore vegetable lover and you have a problem on your hands: the mere mention of it can turn a peaceful individual in to a Rambo-esque fanatic hellbent on protecting his / her cause. And no matter how many vegetarians I ask, nobody ever has a real answer, which leaves me with this: my theory is that vegetarians secretly hark back to the golden days of meat-eating old. In other words, the manufacturers make them look like sausages and burgers to appeal to the meat-eater buried deep within. Which obviously isn’t something I tend to bring up after a vegetarian has shown me his / her violent tendencies–
