I am sure that there are some great reasons for vegitarianism that make sense. Maybe the way animals are slaughtered in mass here in the States, or the whole ‘your body is a temple’ line of reasoning. But anti-violence?

Anyone who’s ever worked in a restaurant can attest to how easily and often cooks are burned. I have scars all over my arms from being burned. One time my boss bumped into me behind the line and knocked me into the salamander grill which left a significant chunk of my right forearm stuck to it. The pain was severe but the smell was even worse.

Had my arm been wrapped in bacon then it would have been delightful.

A good point, of course. Piercing logic.

My rule: If it moves, eat it.

But in all seriousness, as someone who worked in kitchens for years, when you smell the flesh of animals cooking it generally smells wonderful, but when you smell the flesh of a human cooking, it’s one of the most horrific smells there is. That alone is enough to tell us that if we were to ever eat a human then we would have to first wrap them in bacon!

Brian, In all fairness, Boyd is more nuanced than I’ve made him out to be here. Don’t write him off until you read his original post, which actually does make some sense. I still totally disagree though.
