the ultimate meat eaters imho are the various forms of scavengers... the circle of life. things die. there are things that eat dead things.
what's the difference between fresh road kill, and store bought meat? the money ;) on a working farm, with working animals, if they aren't working, they get eaten, esp in the "good old days". these days, we have SO MUCH FOOD, that i doubt farmer johnboy eats his plow horse when he has other choices. sentiment? maybe. back in the day? food was more dear i expect.
it amuses me that with SO many insects, and an RDA allotment for how many pounds a year you're allowed to eat as a byproduct of eating veggies, that we don't eat more. better: some insects eat meat. they love it. so do birds, squirrels, deer, and other "vegetarian" animals. trace minerals, salts, stuff.
so. well. food. comes from life, from materials from a star (for the most part), powered by sunlight (more or less). i'd say we are star stuff, but me? i'm made of meat. i live in my box.
