Some of you may know that I chose to eat a vegetarian diet for many years and chose to live a Vegan life for a few years. Ethical considerations were even more influential than health at those times in this life, though there may have been a lot of health benefits as well. Along the way I continued learning about diet and decided to return to eating meat. The initial and primary cause was personal economics, but taste bud pleasure and social interaction supported the decision. Ultimately, the meat industry is cruel and I would prefer all of my food to grow on organic farms. For the moment, after reading, pondering, and growing (which includes growing more cynical and disillusioned with humanity, though that is not the primary impetus for my reasoning), I decided that I will live as an omnivore. This thought stream is not about whether I am a victim or supporter (or both) of the current self-destructive suicidal human culture (feel free to discuss it as you wish). It is about wanting to go to the 2016 Festival of Bacon. Wanna come?
