Brazillian BBQ

Meat. There are a lot of reasons why we should not eat it. For instance: 1) If we all ate lower on the evolutionary food pyramid (lowest being self sustainable items like plants and algae, the highest being lions), we could feed the world many times over, and save enormous amounts of energy costs. 2) There is the ethical/moral dilemna if eating a senscient being (although other animals are not burdended by this problem; like lions) can be a good thing. 3) And their are health reasons that could convince people to avoid meat.

In the pro-meat column, I can only think of one reason to keep eating meat: 1) Ummm...tasty especially lion steaks.

Last night, V, E and I went to a brazillian barbecue joint to fulfill are carnal need to eat the flesh of once living creatures in high quantities. All you can eat places are not for the feignt of heart, so selection of who goes with you is key. First, don't invite vegetarians, this may seem obvious, but sometimes politeness can veer you off course. In that same category, do not invite anyone who is either on a diet or only eats small quantities of food at a time. You cannot let guilt get the in the was of your gluttony. Go with people who will prepare for the event, for example E was fasting, V ate a light brunch and I went running that morning.

At the restaurant the three of us wasted no time getting things started. There was a buffet that provided rice beans, veggies, and that brazillian specialty: sushi. On our table was a wooden stand. One side was painted green to indicate that the servers were to come to your table to serve you meat, and the other was red to say stop.

Needless to say the three of us stayed at our table eating for about 2 and a half hours. We sampled many mammals and a few chickens that tasted like mammals. We even ate jello, mammalian byproducts for dessert. MMMMMM... meat. Would have loved it more had they served lion steaks.
