The above being a statement that only an animal-food addict would make.




The "above statement" is one of a set of 45-50 tag lines that get
changed every week or so; just happens to be up this week. It's a quote
from (then General) Clayton Abrams, upon being asked to describe his
technique for dealing with a massive problem such as the Viet-Cong in
Viet Nam. Thus the "animal" you thought you found in the "above
statement" is only a metaphor and has neither tusks nor substance. The
conincidence of the statement's showing up just during the time when I
happend to respond to a thread concerning food items is so tenuous that
trying to draw any conclusions, such as you seem to have done, is
roughly akin to eating soup with a fork.

Actually, I eat *everything* to the chagrin of my waistline - 38 &
should be 35. Don't dislike vegetable material at all - some of my best
friends are turnips & peas, not to mention fiddlehead greens & spinach
tossed w/ mushrooms, oil & garlic. I just think those who rabidly try to
remove the cow from the grass-cow-omnivore chain are fooling themselves
& missing out on some nutritious eating.

Which I'm pretty sure you know already.

Don't want to face the fact that your dietstyle is just habit and
has nothing to do with nutrition whatsoever?

That's okay by me. Your loss.
