Meat eater

Food can be a big issue. Some people reject eating meat, while meat eaters today are making their own strong case for keeping meat in their diet. One of the latter is Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm in Virginia, a character you've met before in this blog.

He's passionate about his farm and the good that it does for the natural environment, and he's also passionate about the nutrition his animals provide to meat eaters. His blog entry of July 5 says: 

"Vegetarianism is an urban disease.  That captures the essence of the anti-animal movement as well as anything I've heard.  Only wealthy people in cities could be disconnected enough from life and practical ecology to advance the anti-animal argument."

(Or . . poor Hindu vegetarians of India.)
