Meat Rampage

I received a terrific, tasty, tummy tome as a gift this holiday season, The Shameless Carnivore – a manifesto for meat lovers by Scott Gold. This is a must read for any casual carnivore as it is packed with valuable information, such as, what qualities to look for in a good butcher.

As a BBQ guy, a meat-centric merchant of much magnitude; I issue a red-blooded call to arms for the meat adoring masses to rise up, speak out and show your pride. The average American eats 219 lbs. of meat every year - self righteous vegetarians are the enemy! Curiously, I do occasionally enjoy my veggies (no beets or lima beans, please) and have been known to finish a salad, as long as it is liberally dusted with bacon bits.
