In the debate of carnivore vs vegetarian I ride the line. If it weren't for the fact that I love a good juicy steak, slow smoked ribs & all the chicken products you can shake a stick at, I would be a vegetarian. I freely admit it with out shame, I am a proud omnivore. With a preference towards poultry as far as meat goes. And bacon, can't forget the bacon.
Anyway, lately I've been visiting some vegetarian & vegan blogs and some of the products made for the non meat eating population are intriguing. Mind blowing even. As a lover of all thing poultry, I can't really imagine a chicken-less nugget, but they make them and apparently they taste like chicken enough that you could sneak them onto a non-vegetarians plate with out a hassle. At least that's what the vegan who ate them and blogged about them claims. Personally, I find a product that looks, smells, tastes, but isn't chicken to be a very scary thing.
As far as I'm concerned I would make a lousy vegetarian. I just like meat far to much to give it up for some pale imitation, so I'll settle for being a meat light omnivore. Now, if the ever come up with a star trek-like protein resequencer, A.K.A. the food replicator, well, I might just go the route of the vegetarian. Although that technology probably wouldn't get me to be a real vegetarian either, what with the whole toilet to table aspect, after all, who knows where the "resequenced protein" is coming from.
