...while there is a strong case for a serious discussion about whether
or not we really need to eat, or should be eating, as much meat as we
do, that is a discussion for another day. The reality is that the
society we live in craves meat, on a massive scale. Where there is a
demand there will be a supply, and finding out how that supply is met is
something that all meat-eaters should be interested in....I find it
difficult to tolerate those who love eating meat, but cannot bear to
think about, or look at, the slaughter and death of that animal – it
seems disrespectful towards the animal, and if I wanted to get really
eggy about it, I’m not sure if such people should be allowed to eat meat
at all.
Not a single day
passes without some well-meaning reader leaving a comment like this one:
“GMOs are perfectly safe. Farmers and gardeners have been
cross-breeding seeds like this for thousands of years. Take off your
tinfoil hats, people!”
Um… no. Just no.
Farmers and
gardeners have NOT been cross-breeding seeds like this for thousands of
years. What those well-intentioned readers fail to understand is the
fundamental difference between hybrid seeds and GMOs...
Doug Stanhope first introduced me to Marlort after knocking back a few shots at one of his shows in Chicago. A few weeks after the show I got around to trying it, myself. Awfully delicious! Since leaving Chicago I've seen it here and there. But this Florida made liquor remains a Chicago phenomena.
