Goats are cute, soft, quite like pillows, and full of unique personalities. Would I be comfortable eating one if I had time to hang out with it first?
I am reminded of the part in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when at the restaurant at the end of the universe the main course is rolled out to the guests and in a most courteous manner describes the different cuts of meat off of its body that would please the guests most.
Like Arthur Dent, I too feel a disconnect between the meat I eat and the life that it came from.
Moving home to Alaska meant that I would have the opportunity to learn to hunt and feel what it is like to complete the circle. Now that Texas is my destination, I wish to spend time on a farm and see how folks dance the line of pet vs. dinner.
I bet those texans will teach you more about dancing then the line between pet vs. dinner:)
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough I am currently watching Hitchhiker's guide while reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping to get a deer this year for this very reason. I think if I'm going to eat meat, I really need to know what it feels like to go through the whole process. Actually, Andrew has decided that he wants to go hunting this year as well.
