If you are full and can't take a bite - still finish your meat. You can leave the garnish, but try to finish the meat.
Munchies_Matt wrote: I think anyone who eats meat should at least a few times in their lives kill and butcher an animal for food. You should know where it comes from, yes; but you need not kill yourself to get that understanding. I doubt that there'd be many (modern) kids that would eat meat directly after killing it.
It also has to be explained that it is not just "killing"; it is part of the food chain, and a lot cleaner than a pack of wolves. Animals that we raise are not hunted, have little to none parasites and are generally well-fed, to die a relative painless death compared to nature.

The only respectful thing to do.

I think until you do pull the trigger, get the knife out and gut it, you havent earned the right to eat meat.
It isnt pleasant, to take life, to butcher a carcass. To offload that on someone else is dishonest. True understanding only comes from doing it, all of it, the good the bad and the ugly.

I dont waste meat when I butcher an animal.
And yes, kids do often hunt, at least here in the UK anyway.

I will never butcher a cow, since that is too much meat for my fridge. There's a restaurant near with exotic meats where I like to eat - but I'm not stupid enough to propose me killing and butchering a crocodile. The crocodile may not understand and turn the table on me

No, not common, unless you live in the country.
I have butchered a deer before, they are pretty big.

Quote: ... a few times in their lives kill and butcher an animal for food
Or at least watch a slaughter ....
A few months ago a butcher slaughtered two pigs in Switzerland in public to show people what that means. There were big protests against this public slaughtering ... I can not understand this hypocrisy.

Quite.
Make people damn well aware of where their bacon is coming from. It isnt pretty, killing an animal, it is grotesque, sad, ugly. It is only those who can face doing so who have earned the right to eat meat.

If the meat doesn't meet your needs, will someone mete out your punishment?

It's meat, if you like it, eat it. If you don't then don't eat it. What's your problem?

Gösta Berlings Saga - For Europa[^]
Couldn't find this track on YouTube, so it's a bandcamp link this week.
I was at work at about 17:00 last week and the rest of my team had gone home.
So I thought I'd put on a little music, opened Spotify, and it recommended Gösta Berlings Saga.
Never heard of them, not the related artists, so I don't really know why Spotify recommended it to me, but I'm glad they did!
It's instrumental rock, progressive, psychedelic, awesome!
A very easy SOTW
