Sure, I'm still eating meat, I'm a young guy, I don't think I have gotten to the age where I can start avoiding to eat meat, I enjoy eating meat a whole lot, for me eating meat sits well with me.

True, for as long as the doctors haven't stopped you, that is cool

I have eten some form of meat in almost every meal, including breakfast, my entire life. I'm not about to stop now. I consider meat an essential part of my diet. I do also eat a variety of vegetables and fruits and try to eat fresh as often as possible. However, I also have a wide range of canned goods to choose from in my home pantry.

Is there any other meat type beside beef and chicken? Just curious

Kidding, right? Any kind of land animal can be consumed as a meat source. It might take a hundred bees for bees knees soup, a dozen mice or a few squirrels to get enough meat for a decent dinner and a buffalo might serve the entire family for a couple of weeks. I've eaten snakes, turkeys, pork and ham, rabbits, frogs legs, alligator many other critters along with what we affectionately call "RK Stew". Not sure what it was, but if it's still fresh, scraped off the side of the road and cooked it's not bad, whatever it was.

I recall a school teacher who told us he hunted breakfast almost every morning and frequently chowed down on crows and other small birds for breakfast.

There are people in some regions who eagerly scoop maggots, worms and other creepy crawlies into their dinner on a regular basis. They are all considered meat sources if they are animal life.

Yes I do eat meat I do not find the reason not to of course I do not eat it like animal but it does tastes good plus vegetarian diet is pricy

Snakes? Wow, so you know how they taste? Here, not any animal is classified as meat. In fact, even such others creatures like snakes, snails and etc are not ate here. If you eat them, then we see you as having a problem. BTW, have you ever tasted Dogs meat? Just curious

[OldGuy]

have you ever tasted Dogs meat?

Not yet, but it is always possible. I do know that some regions include dog meat as part of their regular cuisine. It is not yet part of the available choices in the USA, at least not that I have ever heard of.

Don't forget there are, or at least have been entire communities that enjoyed human meat on a regular basis. Ever heard of cannibals?

I also recall a big fiasco about some restaurants in Europe that served horse meat. I suppose it will be edible but it is distressing when horses are considered part of the family on farms around here. It would be as distressing as serving cow meat in India yet cow meat is regular cuisine in the US and other parts of the world.

There was a Chinese restaurant in my hometown that upset the entire community when it was discovered they had been capturing roaming family pet cats and preparing them as part of their regular offerings. I ate at that restaurant many times before the news came out, so it is likely I have eaten cat more than once without even realizing it.

There is a recent trend to collect crickets and grinding them up to use for preparing meals even here in the US. If they are part of the animal kingdom, they truly are a meat source. Different regions accept different options for their daily food. Ever had chocolate covered ants? Yup. Those too can be an exotic dish.

I have heard of them. Yes so many times and I can't even think of how people enjoy people meat. This looks not to be serious. Human meat? No. But cannibals are everywhere I guess. Even in Uganda my country, I hear there are cannibals.

I thought cannibalism was a crime. Most cannibals usually murder their victims for meat which is so sad. Once they get caught, they usually go to prison.

[Treborika]

For me l have really reduced on my meat consumption in my household. I am now eating the meat only once in the week.

Yes, is a crime but people practice it. If they exhume and eat the dead bodies, of course no one will likely report minus evidence. You eat fellow man, or woman, hmmm. Life is crazy

I would think cannibals would be more likely to eat fresh corpses, not ones that had been buried and started to rot, or been embalmed, making them inevitable. And yeah, people would definitely report it if someone had been disturbing graves in a cemetary.

Yes, it's a crime in most places. There are all kinds of reasons people have practiced cannibalism. Sometimes it's people lost in the wilderness who ate people to survive. In some cultures it's how people honour the dead (though I don't know if that's still a thing anywhere any more). In Papua New Guinea they used to do that and people got Kuru (a prion disease) from eating brains.

I don't know. Just like people can eat a goat found dead on the road, I doubt cannibals can skip the graveyard if they have an urgency. Either way, I don't know what they get in eating fellow human.
