I’ve not eaten a mammal or a bird in over 40 years. One thing that really irks me about foodie culture is how selfish and irresponsible it is. And don’t get me going about speciesism. The day we see cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese featured on those incessant SPCA commercials is a day worth celebrating. I still eat small amounts of seafood and I feel guilty with every bite, but I’m working on that too.
