additional note

January 11, 2004

Earlier I made this comment on Ruth Ozeki’s book My Year of Meats, but I forgot something.

One note for the occasionally queasy: Chapter 10 is a very vivid insight into the peculiars of the slaughterhouse floor. Not for the faint of heart, but very well written.

I had a motto when I didn’t eat meat, which was 10 years all told: don’t eat somehting you couldn’t kill yourself.

I don’t like it, but I can kill and prepare fish and poultry. I’m a little helpless when it comes to larger critters. When back in the States, I plan to continue my little practice towards meat.
