Comments on: I Ate Live Octopus https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/i-ate-live-octopus/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are! Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:49:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Ronnie Peace https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/i-ate-live-octopus/#comment-127129 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:49:05 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=7009#comment-127129 We, as society, can learn a lot from vegetarians. Try adding meat to any of their meals, and you’re mouth will be partying like it’s 1999 (I’m not sure if this has been updated since we ventured into the future, but you get my gist).
Do you think there is such a thing as Octopi Pie? Presumedly it would be called Octopied or Octopi Squared (a little maths humo(u)r which, i think we can all agree, you cannot count on for a laugh).
Imagine how full the sea would be and, due to Archimedes Theory, as a result how high the sea levels would be if we didn’t eat octopi, fish, shark, whale fin soup and other tasty meats from the sea kitchen.

I’ve seen those videos of the torture but I still eat chicken. I’m a meat eater and I’ll die a meat eater. I’ve eaten octopus before but I never heard of anyone eating it live. So weird. I would try it. Where were you?

Elizabeth Evans https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/i-ate-live-octopus/#comment-93214 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 17:03:46 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=7009#comment-93214 I was vegan for over ten years. I stopped, not because I didn’t care anymore, but rather because I have a sugar condition AND because I couldn’t see what difference it made. When I stepped back and thought about the fact that meat is a business, I realized that the masses boycotting it does help, a little, in the sense that it curbs demand, but it doesn’t actually change the conditions for the others who are still in-demand and forced to live in horrific conditions (and the conditions are horrific, absolutely inhumane, and if there is a God I am pretty sure he’s sending everyone to hell because we are a vile species). In the end I came to the conclusion that not enough people will stop eating animals to fix things, but I know that absolutely nobody with the exception of psychos agrees with factory farming conditions. Nobody. Not even my hillbilly ass uncles who are all yee-haw and wear wife-beaters. HOWEVER, I do believe that we can make a difference by spending our money wisely, and making it known why we are putting our money in one place instead of another. With the internet it only gets easier to email one company and say, “My friends and family will no longer purchase our meat from you, instead we’ll be going to so, and so, because of your cruel practices. If you decide to go back to humane, free-range, organic, practices, let me know and I’ll gladly become a customer again.”

My husband and I only buy local, free range, organic, meats from farms that I could seriously drive by and see the animals (you’d be surprised by how many small farms there are that people just don’t know about). I spent part of my early childhood on a farm, and yeah, they killed some of the animals for food every year, but they loved those animals. Ideally, yes, I’d love to live in a universe where we stop killing EVERYTHING (I read a statistic last night that said that by 2030 all African elephants will be extinct due to the huge rise in poaching) for monetary gain. That would be badass and fucking sign me up for that planet! However, until then, humans are dumb and selfish and I doubt the world will suddenly grow empathy and change their eating habits. BUT we can choose where we spend our money, and we can email the shit out of everyone who we disagree with. If the emails come in thralls, you’d be surprised how much corporations will start to listen. One or two? No. But in the thousands, their ears perk up as they see dollar signs fleeing to another company.

It’s the same with dog cruelty. In the past five years with the internet, dog cruelty cases are getting so much attention that laws are being formed. It’s not like there is more cruelty now than there was 20 years ago, it’s just that now with FB we know about it. When thousands of people call a mayor and state rep demanding that domestic animal abuse become a felony, they listen. I think that taking a moral stand for the helpless is huge, but more importantly is making sure that everyone knows about it.

And now I’ll stop rambling in your comments to find some Baileys for my coffee. The world is depressing.

Good luck but will power is hard! lol Im rooting for you!

A friend recently noticed the Kraft Mac n Cheese in my pantry, and proceeded to tell me all about how yellow#5 is evil and homemade mac n cheese is so much healthier and less likely to kill me. I don’t care. Quite frankly, I’m a little addicted to yellow#5. It’s in my Mt. Dew, it’s in my shampoo, it’s in my mac n cheese. Love me some yellow#5. I quit smoking, but I can’t quit my yellow#5. She was shocked. She had also tried telling me what shrimp farmers feed the shrimp. I don’t care. Isn’t it bad enough that I realized that poorly deveined shrimp taste better than really clean shrimp? That’s right, shrimp poop tastes good. It’s so wrong, until you serve it with fettuccine in a nice Alfredo sauce, then it’s so right.

Oh, and I grew up around cows. Can’t convince me to stop eating beef. Cows are cranky, ornery animals that deserve to be turned into hamburgers. I can’t stomach venison, but I’ll eat reindeer until the cows come home, and then I’ll eat hamburgers until Red Lobster opens up.
