KarmaGirl:

I think that you also meant "vegetarian" instead of vegan.

My youngest daughter is a vegetarian. I actually did mean vegan and am very aware of the difference between the two. In my experience, it's the vegans that go off frothing at the mouth.

Speaking of which:

Brazil:

The Kill Industry is a corporate run all-American good ol' boy system.You think they will let "Specific and rigid Guidelines" get in the way of profit?You are dreaming,,it is a known common practice to mass these animals together for animal and HUMAN consumption.For Profit.

And you have facts to support this do you? I spend a good deal of my day reviewing food safety and sanitation reports from both Canada and the US through FSNET, Foodsafe and FoodNavigator. If you want to blather allegations, point out your resources.

/me has a flashback about similar demands made about copyrights. Better drop this one before it gets ugly

On reflection, I realize I've come on way too strong here. The whole issue has touched a nerve, particularly in light of the incredible damage done to the Canadian beef industry and the whole BSE thing.

I do apologize for getting riled up.

maybe because you are a chef...

it's OK I have a healthy dislike of vegatarians as well. No one tells Kona what not to eat!

Alrighty then, back to the burgers. Man, I really could go for one right now.

Itz also OK to have a healthy dislike for ignorance and cruelty.Can anyone tell me what the ratio of USDA Inspectors versus Kill Floors iz? How about the last huge beef or chicken recall? Which of your favorite Burger chains have been sued for killing people?Have any of you seen a family in anguish over a beautiful child,in the hospital,trying to recover from tainted beef/chicken,i.e. E-Coli? Meatheads unite !! The medical Industry iz counting on you !! Colon cancer,Heart disease,Anti-Bio tics no longer work due to the fact they are so heavily used in the Kill Industry.BTW,Chef Gary,I work and live in the cattle/chicken industry,I have seen first hand of what I speak.So I guess if you want to call it an uninformed opinion thats yer right,but NOTHING could be further from the truth.

brazil: your argument screams not "I work in the cattle/chicken industry." but "I read Fast Food Nation and now I'm an expert on everything related to it."

Who cares?
Chickens and cows are part of the food chain.
And tasty to boot.

Go tell a Great White thats its not nice to mangle/cripple then eat later a seal.

Better yet, tell a Killer Whale its not nice to toss that half alive seal around for 20min.
Its not nice to play with your food.

Yummy, shark steaks. those are good too.

Opps! Sorry, a bit off topic here.

I'll make sure to remember that....
And, I don't think Chef Garry said that he dislikes vegetarians (since his daughter is one....)

Did you see finding Nemo?  That statement reminded me of the reformed sharks who had their meetings about "fish are our friends not our food".  It was pretty funny.

So, how many people have gone out and eaten a burger because of this thread?

Haven't got around to it yet. I'm planning on tuna cakes for supper tonight. Perhaps some asparagus in brown butter, steamed rice and maybe a Sauvignon Blanc from my cellar (I make my own wine by cruelly and thoughtlessy fermenting harmeless grapes).

AHHHHHH!

KarmaGirl!! I loved that

Nemo Burgers

I'd just like to say

SORRY COW!
But you're just so gosh darn tasty!
So you're gonna die for my stomach.
Deal.

anyone seen those "eAt Mooor Chikin" bullitin boards on the side of the road with the cows with rubber Chicken masks on?

Yeah Right,Doomgaze.I forgot you knew me personally and what I do for a living.The AR in my profile stands for the state of Arkansas.I guess because I like to customize my computer,both work and home,makes it impossible for you to conclude I work in and around stockyards 6 days a week,as an inspector.I don't have to rely on bogus reports submitted by greedy corporations hiding the truth at all cost.I do not feel the need to educate any of you.You already have your minds made up,just make sure you have health insurance.

I thank God that we are intitled to our own opinions,and beliefs. And I believe that I am going to have homemade lasaunga filled with all the beef I can put into it. So please don't rain on my parade anymore.

comedy gold

and brazil, you reply rather defensively, why? are you a vegan that thinks eating meat is "bad"?

the only thing thats ever given me food poisoning was fish sticks.
and i eat alot of beef and chicken
and kill my own deer, bear, moose, and elk for food

we're not above other predators/animals on earth
and honestly, without technology we'd be down on the food chain

and anyhow
back on topic

bear chili = YUM
also a big fan of venison burgers
i think im gonna make venison burritos tonight to see how that comes out

John.

Interesting choice of words there,Doomgaze."See how that comes out",,most carnivores die with an unbelievable amount of dead animal flesh in their intestines.Hence the Colon Cancer.Itz all you homeeeee,,eat it up.ar,ar,heehaw.

we're not above other predators/animals on earthand honestly, without technology we'd be down on the food chain

Not according to the bible... Man is supposed to have dominion over every other living creature

But thats a topic for another thread.

Karmagirl:
Let me redo my previous post:

"I have a healthy dislike of those individuals that hold signs and protest against eating meat and / or those people who make a big deal about someone else eating meat."

I wasn't awake this morning. Sorry if I offended you Chef...

"I have a healthy dislike of those individuals that hold signs and protest against eating meat and / or those people who make a big deal about someone else eating meat."

I hit a protestor down on the Cape with a mackerel head that was starting to get ripe (Striper bait) while driving by.

It couldn't be resisted.

It was classic.

yeah, protesting accomplishes nothing!

Durn Doomy,Why didn't ya' kill em' and eat em'? Kill,Kill Kill!!

Driving by eh?? You are so brave.

brazil: enough already!

"911"

ah, yes, ahhh, I'd like to report (hand almost covering mouth piece, what do I report? you've been fish wacked!)

"sir?"

ahhhh, yeah, hold on a sec ( I'm not telling them that, I mean sheesh they will laugh their heads off) one minute please (so, what do I tell them? tell em you was assulted by a fisherman driving by, Oh no, I'm not reporting a drive by Fish Wacker you can go straigth...

"Sir? SIR? this is an emergency line and if you've nothing to report I will remind you that prank calls are against the law and all calls are monitored, If you are on a cell phone please state your location"

Ah, yeeeeeah, just a sec (Here you tell em I'm not)...

Yes we would like to report a, ah, hmmm, we'll take two large pizzas and a 12 pack of coke, how long will that be and how much will it cost?

"Mam, this is 911 do you have anything to report?"

911? OHHHhhhh sorry about that, we wanted to order from 247 Pizza House, sorry about that(click)
