Cruel and Controversial Meals
Trifter has an interesting article on cruel and controversial delicacies around the world. While it’s easy to be up in arms at the way some meals are prepared we have to remember that what we do may be considered strange, unusual or cruel to others. In eating meat as I do, I acknowledge that animals must die for me to enjoy what I eat. Some would rather not know what goes into preparing meals they eat, which is fine, but who is to say any of these meals are any more or less cruel than the way chicken or beef is prepared for us? Just some food for thought since I anticipate people thinking to immediately say how bad some of these meals are. With that said, I do not see the need make animals suffer unnecessarily as with the first dish in the story. Then again, who are we to judge? Still very intriguing.
