I was watching a program on the evolution of man about a year ago and it noted that the cooking of meat was one of the greatest leaps in the brain development of humans. It was noted that cooking meat changes the chemical structure of the meat, and this fed the development of the human brain. Man already had fire, and they ate raw meat. It was conjectured that a group was eating meat by a fire set for warmth and to repel animals, and they put the meat down to go and do something, and when they returned the meat had changed, being too close to the fire. Rather than throw it out, they ate it anyway, and liked it that way, and began the process of this cooking, changing their brain development in the process.

Jim, look at this photo and tell me you plan to go vegan anytime soon:
Experienced Social Distancer ... waaaay before COVID.
I just had a huge Rib-eye, But I had a salad first, does that make me half a vegan ?
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up
Well this certainly seems like an appropriate thread to post images of meat dishes, not that anything more should be expected.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
I kinda agree here with Noir. He posted about a great accomplishment and I'm sure the photos seem like a slap in the face for his efforts. Again, not my cup of tea - but wouldn't be much different than me posting stats on my quitting smoking and folks posting various types of smokes. I believe he and Abbey have already stated that some of this stuff is offensive to them. In any other thread... but this was a way of acknowledging his efforts. We may not agree, but it's still something that hits home for him and something he believes in, and therefore made an effort to make a change. Nothing wrong with that, even if we disagree.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
