Ran into another Food Nazi just now.

Not long ago, I was doing our weekly marketing, and the woman behind me at check out whispered to her friend, 'Gee, that guy is buying a lot of meat.'  Never one to shy away from nosey parkers, I turned and said you her, 'You know what else it's a lot of?  A lot of none of your goddamed business, that's what.'

I agree, Brian - if people want to live on soya protein and sprouts, it isn't anyone's business but their own.  Likewise, if I like to eat carefully selected bits of herbivores, that's my own bloody (no pun intended) business.

Good for you!

There are good arguments to eat or not eat something, but not merely on taste. Just like if you drink too much you can damage your liver, but mere drinking won't kill you. As long as you store the food properly and cook it properly so that it doesn't make you sick, I agree, it isn't anybody's fucking business.

A long time ago, I cleaned the house of my landlord to get a break on my rent. He made me a crab meat sandwich but questioned why I didn't want my bread toasted or mayo on it. I simply said  "Because I don't". 

How hard is that for anyone to understand?
