I'm not an idiot; I know where meat comes from. I just don't care at all. You can have a holier than thou attitude about being a vegetarian than me all you want

I'm not an idiot; I know where meat comes from. I just don't care at all. You can have a holier than thou attitude about being a vegetarian than me all you want, but the reality is that I'm not a carnivore out of ignorance. I eat meat because I like it. A hundred thousand cows could die for a single hamburger and I'd still eat it. If you want me to not eat meat, give me something cheaper, tastier, and easier to prepare. Until then, I'll lick clean the blood on my hands.
- tim333 10y agoI know where meat comes from too and eat it but if I had to shoot a cow and cut it up to get beef I'd probably pass and have cheese fries instead. Too much hassle.

- mikestew 10y agoYou spend a weekend butchering and you're set for the year, assuming a large enough freezer. No more trips to the store for meat, just walk to the freezer. The equipment to make the job tolerable is a large initial expense, but it'll probably last you the remainder of your life. In the end, the fries are probably more hassle because you're less likely to have a year's supply of cheese fry ingredients lying around. Source: I haven't always been a vegetarian.
