This update is a follow up to yesterday’s Huffington Post piece in which Natalie wrote about the book Eating Animals and her own thoughts on the topic.
Now, I am a meat eater. I don’t smoke, I never drink alcohol by choice (I relent in certain rare social situations), I don’t do drugs, and I don’t even drink coffee. But damn, I love a good hamburger.
So if any group is being targeted by that piece, its whatever group I’m in (30 minutes ago I had chicken pieces on sticks…why is everything better on sticks?). I disagreed with certain aspects, I thought some thoughts were very nicely written while others were a little weak, and at the end of the day I thought, “I’m not going to be putting down the steak knife anytime soon, but good for you for having that commitment to do so.”
What I didn’t feel was any kind of offense or outrage, yet it seems that that is exactly how some people took it. So I read the “rape” paragraph again and I just really struggle to see how anyone can make that leap from an over the top analogy to “Natalie thinks I’m as bad as a rapist for eating meat.”

The synopsis is getting quite long so let’s get right to it. As always, if you have a suggestion, make it in the comments section and you might find it incorporated in the next round later today.
A young woman wakes up next to nobody. All too aware of this fact, she hugs her pillow. Eventually she gets up and dispassionately goes through her morning routine.
Now dressed up, she approaches the front door. A post it note reads “Today”. She puts a trembling hand on the door knob but she can’t bring herself to turn it. She angrily pulls off the note and scrunches it up, before retreating from the door.
Sarah has not left her house for 7 years. She has not seen another human being for the duration of that time. Every morning she goes to the door with every intention of opening it. But she never does.
Unbeknownst to Sarah, most of her door-to-door deliveries are made by the same guy – a guy who finds himself more and more intruiged by this mysterious woman.
His name is Jeff. During every delivery he awkwardly attempts conversation through the door, but she never takes the bait. As desperation passes the point of common sense, he comes up with a plan.
Results after the jump…
