I think too much. Also wonder why creatures have to eat others to live. What is this weird idea of a digestive track anyway...holes on each end!:confused One would think nature could have come up with a better idea. Anyway...think of what humans eat. The old saw of who thought, I will eat the next thing that comes out of a chickens butt. We consume foods that are literally sweat, ova, spit. Huh? For sure. We love honey. What is it. An insect sucks up nectar, changes it in some part of its body...gut?... spits it out and we then eat it. Humans are the only animal that sucks on the udder of a different species. What is milk? Modified sweat glands. Mind if I like your sweat? I need salt?
Eggs are ovum that come out of a hens body. Part of her cells. Her future young. Down the hatch they go.
Of course we eat seeds too... but.... Also fish roe.
And who the heck EVER decided they were going to climb up, steal that bird nest and boil it for soup cause the bird stuck it together with SPIT!

How did they even come up with the idea?
I know we are stuck with our system. So the best is not to think too hard on it. Thank the steer for its sacrifice and enjoy. Remember..only fruit is given freely by plants to pay you to take their seeds elsewhere. Otherwise..you just murdered a living creature. Give me those Brussels spouts...let me eat your babies.

You certainly made me chuckle with your realistic descriptions!! Basically we are all recycling operatives aren't we? Swallow and chew with one end... and crap out of the other!!! We eat so called nutritious foods so we can extract what we need, but the rest comes out as shit anyway! The shit that should go back to Mother Nature to henceforth fortify the earth and henceforth continue the cycle of human nonsense...

@ Orzzz,
Here's some food for thought... pardon the pun.
Only humans dip a corps in its unborn children before deep frying it...

Well, when you put it like that Orzzz, I'm not sure if I should stop eating them or close my eyes when I cook.
It really is amazing what we eat; I've never read such an insightful analysis.

OH HANS!
I guess that precludes the Jewish law that say you cant mix pots for meat or milk.Something about cooking the flesh of the cow in its mothers milk.
Jan 22I guess all we can do is consume to live and be glad we are on the top of the food chain. OH..and avoid sharks, polar bears and lions. Plus hope that all the bacteria and mites that live on us out number the bad ones.

Processed-Food vs Natural-Food
Jan 22Sometimes the question comes to my mind that which food is mine? Whatever I can eat without any process, maybe that will be my food. My digestive system is designed by nature to digest which food?
Do human know their food?

I have never figured out the whole cooking kick. I eat to live, not live to eat. Animals worry about one thing..finding food. They dont spend hours inventing recipes. Nature make lots of tasty things just fine. I like shrimp. Buy frozen pre-cooked, heat up and slather in butter. Nothing more. Sorry you taste so good little ones. I find it wrong to cover them with sauces, spices, booze. I figure if one has to doctor any food nature made, then you don't really like the taste of it. Of course in todays world of hockey pucks pretending to be tomatos or peaches and meat that could serve as shoe soles or cardboard..I guess processed needs doctoring.

@ Orzzz,

Jan 25My cooking/prep style works on the principal, that it shouldn't take longer to make than it takes me to eat it.

You sound like my guy. He says if he cant cook it in 10 minutes, he wont make it. Sure like to visit and eat the big meals I make tho.
Which is the only time I cook. I mostly graze and eat little. Bagel and coffee or maybe oatmeal is good til night. Then open fridge and eat what falls out. Microwaves are great.
