This is fine so far, because basically I'm still talking about road-
kill, tasty road-kill, but road-kill nonetheless. And most meat just
isn't obtained in this way. But what if all the meat that was consumed
in America came from animals that died from natural causes? Would
anybody have any problems with that?

Hell yes! What if they died of Mad Cow disease (called Chronic
Wasting Disease in deer)? You think that's good? You think you can't
catch it? Oh wait, after you catch it, you CAN'T think!

Are people today so far removed from reality that they think that meat
somehow grows in plastic packages? There is a reason animals are
killed (NOT "murdered") for meat. Story goes like this: When I was a
kid someone my Dad knew gave some "Easter chicks" to his daughters.
Well, cute fuzzy chicks grow up and become chickens. And this guy knew
we had some chickens and gave the three half grown chickens to me.
Well, I of course, raised them as pets. My favorite was called Gaak
(for the noise she made) and I don't think her feet touched the ground
much. The other two were also pets but much less so, Well, to make a
long story short, chickens only live a few years and Gaak was a family
member and was allowed to die a natural death and be buried with
"honor" in the pet graveyard. The other two were slated for dinner.
Yes, we ate them, but in spite of cooking them forever, MAN were those
old birds tough to chew! Take my word for it. Allowing farm animals
to live out their natural lives is not such a hot idea if you intend
to eat them.
