Everyone knows that Linda is a vegetarian. She was a vegan for a few years, but relaxed her rules a bit when she needed to get a little more protein in her diet. At that time, she also read a lot of online articles about feeding me a vegan diet too. I'm SO glad she choose to let me eat meat. She does not mind if her friends eat meat, but it does give her the willies when people eat meat that looks like the animal or is bloody. Steak is the worst. Chicken on the bone, is pretty bad too. A new hot "it" restaurant in New York is taking eating meat a step further. The eatery serves all natural, free range, grass fed animals to it's customers. If eating the steak isn't enough, they also sell leather tote bags made from the cow you just ate! Yes, you read that right. If your timing is right (and you have $400), you can leave the restaurant with one of the 10-20 handmade leather tote bags that came from the cow you just ate. If you don't want a tote bag, you can buy a wallet, belt or even a football. Next year they are going to add rabbit hats. The owners of the place say it is "another way (besides eating it) to honor the animal." Somehow, it just doesn't seem very honorable to me.
