SC - Trimarian Haggis

[Siegfried Heydrich]

     I had a girlfriend talk me into going on a macrobiotic vegan diet for
about 6 months (back in the '70s, when it was trendy). I did NOT have a true
comprehension of the word 'constipation' before then. I finally went back to
meat just to be able to take a non-painful dump.
    I also noted (I don't smoke) that my sense of smell became incredibly
acute, and that unwashed smokers wearing cheap scents could punch my
round-trip meal ticket rather unexpectedly. The George Bush syndrome . . .
    My attitude is that I've got canines for a reason, and that the ability
to digest complex lipids and protiens is a blessing. I'd rather eat a fresh
kill than a factory produced, mechanically processed chunk o' plastic flesh
product any day of the week. There is a karmic purity and deep truth
involved when you look the creature you're going to eat in the eye, right
before you kill, clean, cook, and eat it. Only moral cowards console
themselves with the illusion that meat actually comes from the magic meat
factory in antiseptic cellophane wrappers. Your ancestors paid a terrible
toll to give you your place at the top of the food chain, so don't dishonor
their legacy by eating broccoli. Except as a side dish, maybe . . .
