Save the Planet!

Eat roadkill

But people all over the world have been eating bugs on a regular basis for centuries without bugging out about it, as Sam Nejame’s “Man Bites Insect” article in the New York Times the other day noted. We may find the concept of insects as livestock disgusting, but could an insect farm possibly be any more revolting than our fetid feedlots? Insects may even be nutritionally superior, according to Nejame:Bugs compare favorably to traditional livestock in available protein and fatty acids; for some vitamins and minerals, they better them by a wide margin.


He also points out a way to eat "greener"

But the Feral Foragers don’t draw the line at eating insects; some of them go so far as to cross the (yellow) line in their pursuit of alternative food sources. As members of a North Carolina collective called Wildroots, they’re what Katz calls “Roadkill Radicals”--enthusiastic advocates of peeling “dishonored victims of the petroleum age” off the pavement and converting them into “food which nourishes.”
As the Feral Forger notes, “picking up roadkill is a good way to get fresh, wild, totally free-range and organic meat for absolutely free.” Finally, a silver lining to our car-crazed culture.


So get out there and get dinner from the side of the road.The true "drive-in eatery".

Yes.

I agree with the article, though: liberals should eat roadkill and insects. I'll dine on steak and pigs and chickens. I find that to be a fine arrangement. The classic "win-win" scenario of which Democrats are so fond.

So, get to it, you whiny, clueless little liberal assholes... Oh look! A grasshopper! There goes your lunch, chump.
