Ham, I am.
posted in General |I like ham. I like it as a meat dish and I like it as an ingredient; one of my favorite meals is macaroni and cheese with ham. And I have to admit, there are things I put above the environment in my general life; I don’t do a great job sorting out the recycling, I drive like a maniac … I’m kind of a “sunday environmentalist.” Well, as much as one can be in Portland anyway.
So reading this article was apalling. I entertain the fantasy that all meat critters are humanely raised by little 4-H kids, named Bossy (even the pigs) and fed with the rest of the family. And then, in the quiet of the night, the critter is silently euthanized and cut up for parts to feed me and my family. It’s sterilized and placed into little plastic baggies, so I don’t even have to think about the soft brown cow-eyes while I barbecue the ribs.
I eat hot dogs and sausages too. And bologna. But this story kinda put the kibosh on my kebobs for awhile.
