The discussion centers on the ethical implications of meat consumption, highlighting concerns about animal treatment and environmental impact. Many participants acknowledge the cruelty prevalent in modern farming practices, contrasting it with the potential benefits of humane treatment in smaller farms. While some argue that meat is necessary for nutritional needs, particularly for athletes, others emphasize the environmental costs associated with meat production, including pollution and deforestation. There is a recognition that personal dietary choices often prioritize convenience and taste over ethical considerations. Ultimately, the conversation reflects a complex interplay between dietary preferences, ethical concerns, and environmental responsibilities.

When I came back to the hotel all my clothes reeked like pig. I was so embarrassed having to wear my coat that smelled so disgusting that it made me nauseous.

Interestingly, I have a funny story that incorporates the aroma issue, the monetary issue, and BK all in one fell swoop. When I fist moved out of home when I was 18, I lived in a high-rise in Waikiki with a friend of mine for the summer. We were understandably poor and in a ritzy tourist town you need to be resourceful in order to survive. So we found these coupons in one of the local free tourist rags for a buy one whopper, get one free. In any any case, I ate two of those every day for the better part of a month. I was the original "Super size me" experiment.

Needless to say, their came a point where I couldn't get even within two blocks of a Burger King for months because the smell of the wafting whoppers had me doubled over and retching. It was many years before I had a whopper again.?:)
