remember ninjas around '04? that whole thing? no longer. now it's bacon and the bacon is here to stay.
why bacon? oh, why not bacon, i reply! we've been taught to ingest, consume, eat eat eat when things are bad. starving is what those africans do! "ethiopian cousine -- isn't that a contradiction? har har har." open your mouth, good american, and take in a delicious dose of meat.
but what if i'm not hungry? well, the pig's dead anyway, so eat it. no matter that it's a sentient (if not sapient) creature whose life as a factory farm food product has been so nauseating you yourself wouldn't want to live in it. no matter that the sow's waste is littering your streams to the point that you yourself get sick from the ultimate carcinogens and pollutants. no matter that the chains are cutting into the animal's flesh.
no matter. eat yr meat and watch yr porn like a good american. consume. CONSUME. it's what you've been put here to do. you know black friday? it's black not because of eyeliner hot topic gawthy shopping sprees but because you can't be in the red forever. you know, economics. around the holidays (holy days?), shop owners finally were cleared of their red and went into the black again. sell sell sell. buy buy buy. consume and grow fat.
it won't sting until someone takes a bite.
oh -- why vegan you ask? because it's vegetarian without the bullshit. veg-an. no bullshit. oh, excuse me -- pigshit.
we feed the sows and piglets fish and take our fish oil supplements. then we watch finding nemo and sigh.
too much, yo. this is a dying empire.
(also, i realize that posting about bacon and the environment while palestine/israel continue their fighting is myopic, but right now it's what's on my mind, and i'm in no position to show solidarity to anyone.)
