3. I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat veggies.
Wore that on a button on a sushi night out more than once. :evilgrin:

4. I say the basic animals:
cow (adult), pig, and chicken. I do eat shell fish on occasions. I don't like any other fish except canned tuna!

6. This quote is in livinginphotographs's sig line.
"The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger after sweet and gentle creatures who harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service" --John Jacques Rousseau

7. Well yeah
Preditors are hard to domesticate and raise. But I do eat predatory fish if that helps...

13. Never had it. There is a restaurant down the road
that only serves game (elk, buffalo, etc.). I prefer not to eat there though!

15. I grew up out west
Most folks I grew up with went hunting for food, not sport.

17. Most of my family hunts for food. My dad goes
deer and turkey hunting every time it is in season. I didn't ever eat the deer, but it fed and feeds my family throughout the winter.

14. It depends on how you cook it
I like to flour mine and cook it in butter. Of course, anything tastes good if it's fried in butter...
