So...you um...come here often?
Note to the queasy folk...a few nasty pictures in this one.
Pretty much all human cultures of the world hold a blatant disrespect for the lives of other non-human conscious beings on this planet. Basically acting like Nazis when it comes to how we treat other creatures. In the states, this is mostly hidden though. Our flesh comes pre-packaged or even pre-made, so eating that stuff seems much more benign than what it really is. The horrors and brutality of the slaughterhouse are out of mind usually.
Over here though, its really in your face.
Every day I walk out of the apartment, I have to see this catastrophe:
Thats right...a big ol' tub of skin and guts. These barbarians have no shame.
Little kids see this as they are walking to school! How screwed up is this? No respect of life.
Dont you think this would be against some kind of health code? Sheesh...
As if I need more reinforcements to not eat flesh anymore.
Funny thing though, after they saw me taking pictures of this mess, they cover up the
tubs with newspaper. I suppose no one has ever stood over these things and taken pictures.

Could someone please tell me how they find this appetizing? Good lord...Im ready to vomit.
At least its honest though, but still totally messed up. These poor animals. Think about this the next time someone is eating a chicken sandwich. (i know these are ducks, dont email me.)
As for me...I'll stick to the good stuff - Durian - THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Now here is a great tip for staying raw, traveling, and going out to eat with friends.
BUFFETS.
Especially buffets with a strong salad bar.
You can spend $20 and do all you can eat salad and fruit, while your friends are free to eat what they want. We went to one last night, and it was great. I made a massive salad with arugula and endive and sundried tomatoes with capers and onions and peppers.
And lucky me...they had green papaya salad, just like in Bangkok.
It was SOOOO hot though. I couldnt take it. I had to take a break for a few minutes.

Seriously though...buffets really fit the bill.
They provide for all tastes, you can take your time, and you can get up and walk around a bit.
I usually never go anymore, but when I do, I always enjoy.
We have to be social and have a life, so by thinking of ways to incorporate both our eating style with spending time with non-raw friends, we can make our time here much more pleasant, and it will enable us to stay raw without freaking out about alienating ourselves and eventually losing the plot, if you know what I mean. It doesnt have to be all or nothing though.

You can even go to those Brazillian meat mayhem restaurants and just opt for the salad bar. While your friends are chomping on bessy the cow,
you can be eating great salads you customized yourself.
Not bad, right?
