More meat, please!

“What we know about eating animals is that we don’t want to know.”
- Elizabeth Kolbert on Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book “Eating Animals”*

The idea of not knowing what exactly we are eating is a uniquely American phenomenon. Because I grew up eating a lot of chinese food, I’ve known for a while that chicken is chicken (chicken feet were a common snack) and fish is fish (my favorite part of the fish is the eyeball). Despite this, I still love and eat meat. My dietary choices, then, are more complex than Safran Foer gives me credit for.
