whipped cream on me
kateOh, my, another year gone by…
Here we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving and I again dare you to watch this newest presentation about your soon-to-be dinner plate. Only a few minutes out of your day -
Do you have the nerve,
the stamina,
the balls to sit through it?
You owe it to yourself to try.
How can anyone who believes in God also believe this is justified? Okay, so you don’t believe in a higher power. You must acknowledge that nothing healthy can come from this type of suffering. Think about tumors and ulcers encased within white and dark meat. Yummy.
I’m just asking you to consider these images before you pop a drumstick into your mouth. Come on, do you really believe this type of cruelty is acceptable? After a meal of stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, maybe a salad and some rolls - will you really have room for anything else? Have a slice of pumpkin pie instead. Whipped cream on me.
Yummy indeed.

peta is so hypocritical, i could consider your argument on its own merits perhaps, but i aint gonna read their drivel. i would read your justification of this, if you care to try: http://www.petakillsanimals.com/petaTrial.cfm

If I gave up the meat, I’d loose a whole nother food group. I already can’t eat the stuffing, gravy, pie crust, fried onions, etc. I am not ready go that far …yet.
I’d be all for going to get my own turkey too. Pluck, pluck.

Crack ho, I’m not going to defend PETA. I don’t belong to the group because they go a bit too far. However, I cannot deny they bring powerful stories to light. Stories we wouldn’t otherwise know about.
I have found that people who cannot justify cruelty to animals or their taste for it tend to go after other aspects of the message - like attacking the messenger. You don’t have to agree with me or animal rights groups to see that torturing animals before eating them is morally wrong, unhealthy and unnecessary. Argue that if you can.
Or don’t.
Either way - have a nice Thanksgiving.

I’m much more concerned with the suffering of people. but thanks for addressing my question. Other discredited organizations are occasionally right too. I usually enjoy your writing, you usually use irony very effectively, like in your holocaust museum / hot thighs (mmmm, hot turkey thighs!) story. Happy T-Day to you, darlin’! (If we have turkey at the rehab center, i will eat it!) sincere love from your admirer, the crack ho.

I just got a brilliant idea from Kate’s overlong post! Instead of eating turkey, have sex with a PETA type all day and you won’t even think about meat! Either that or stick “it” in a pie (let it cool first).

Can’t anyone get CW into rehab? He’s almost as big a crab as me.
Kate- I just can’t help it. I’m not a veggie person. To me, veggies are a side dish, not something to mash up into a protein-simulating thingamajig.
Yes, those films make me sick. I have a niece who says, “Nothing with a face,” regards to what she will eat.
Perhaps if companies could guarantee cruelty-free food production that didn’t cost an arm and a leg (kosher, anyone?)…but what am I saying. Kate, The truth is nobody cares because we don’t have to look that cow or turkey or chicken or pig in the eyes while we eat it.
Dang it, I LIKE meat. Just one more thing for this ol’ Catholic to feel guilty about.

Sandy, you go enjoy yourself. I’m pro-choice across the board and believe we all have to do what we think is right. And what’s right for me isn’t necessarily right for everyone else. Sorta makes it hard to hate me, huh?
Stick that in your pie, C.W.
