World Meat-Eaters Day


Today, Nov. 1, is World Vegan Day, a day in which to celebrate all things vegan. A part of me wants to start a holiday for meat eating. But then I thought, many of the major holidays revolve around meat: Thanksgiving = Turkey (or Baby Backribs if you are a Spronk); Christmas and Easter = Ham; Passover = Lamb; Fourth of July = Brats, Hot Dogs, and Hamburgers on the Grill; Arbor Day = Hickory or Mesquite Smoked Ribs (OK, maybe that is also just a Spronk thing). So if vegans want their own holiday that's fine. Meat Eaters get to celebrate all the rest.

P.S. the picture is of the USDA PRIME Ribeye steaks that we had tonight for World Vegan Day. The steaks were awesome. Would have converted any die-hard Vegan.

When you are a Seminarian with a Meat Science Degree, you can always find good meat, no matter what.
