I didn't "lambast" anybody. You weren't interested in why eating meat might be bad for you--or anybody. Especially eating meat that is filthy--which is, basically, any meat product from an animal that isn't raised "naturally." You don't want to hear anything that challenges your fossilized preconceptions--on any level. That's why I said "never mind." But, then again, you are from the South, so I guess it figures.

Eating meat is just fine

1 1/2 inch Porterhouse - grilled over hickory - rare to medium rare.

Some steamed asparagus

Baked Potato - Butter - Sour Cream with fresh chives.

New York Cheesecake for desert.

I like to think that I'm a nice person, that I can be very sympathetic. But when millions of people decide that the brightest idea is to, with the overabundance of space in the country, develop and move to the most desertified part of it, I cannot see a scenario in which I could muster any tears.
