    Default Food

    For nearly all of my life I never thought about the food I was eating. I didn't know or care where the food came from , how it was made etc. If I liked it I ate it. About five years ago I watched a documentary on how animals are treated and mistreated.
    An animal is not an animal it is a commodity, it's value is determined by how much it's carcase is worth. Cattle in the States and probably many other countries are given hormones to boost their body weight and increase meat production. Cattle and sheep are transported live to countries where animal welfare is non existent. Many of you will have seen sheep being unloaded in the Gulf States, Middle East and Libya.
    Animal mistreatment and cruelty will continue because the majority of people, as I was, do not think of meat as animals.

    And yet cannibals were considered savages. Just because they preferred human flesh. Do the old pilot books still recommend to never land on Socotra if shipwrecked as they did in all my time at sea. Due of course to the big cooking pots they had. JS

    One of the biggest abused animals on this earth is chicken, go in to any of the stores and chicken is the cheapest meat to buy, no one ever considers how they were kept. I would not eat chicken unless it free range from my local farm, where i know how they live. Does anyone remember a program some years ago with Jamie Oliver ?, he showed the audience how as chicks they were sexed, cockerels , were put in large chamber were they were gassed, and then the bodies ground to a pulp for disposal. I could easily become a vegetarian , but the smell of bacon being fried would switch me back pretty quick, the though of a bacon sarnie ah , kt

    Keith one of the most sacred and protected animals nearly but not quite yet is the whale. Here in Australia coming in at a very close second is the shark. Sharks as far as I am concerned have eaten more seamen than humans have eaten them, so when I go for fish and chips I always ask for shark , I don’t mind eaten them endangered species or not. JS

    Strictly speaking, sharks ain't fish, and by association given that they devour seamen, it suggests those that eat sharks might be considered cannibals.

    #5. Then we are all cannIbals also. The same as most animals are. Most animals apart from the vegetarian ones eat flesh , this is for life support as require the protein to survive and the human animal is no different. As for Cappys crutch ones they are the scavengers and must have long tongues like lizards to catch flies. Like a chinaman would say chicken and flench flies. JS

    No Ivan probably could be it’s droppings though JS
    From my memories as a 14 year old I would be dubious of what went into sausage meat and also mince. As one who used to make it as a trade learner one might say in general there was little or no waste on the chopping block. JS

    A mate of mine in NZ, a big Maori bloke was saying that his tribe used to eat white people, I asked him if he ever tasted long Pig, he said no, his parents wouldn't let him, but they allowed him to dip his bread in the gravy.
