Persuasive Essay: My Hunger For Danger Food

I love a good steak as much as the next guy, but that sort of thing just doesn 't excite me anymore. If I’m going to commit murder by eating meat, as the animal rights people say, I want my murder to count. I hunger for danger foods. By my definition, a danger food is any animal that can take me in a fair fight. The way I see it, if it could have killed me when it was alive, I get to eat it once it 's dead. In fact, it 's my civic duty to do so. For example, a shark could rip me apart with its rows of razor sharp teeth. Thus, I get to turn it into poop. The circle of life continues. A cow,

The main opposition to ELEAT will come from animal rights activists, vegetarians, and hippies who’ve never had a loved one hurt by an animal. I 'd like to use this forum to address these groups in another indented paragraph that takes up a lot of room on the page and makes it look like I 'm a prolific writer, but why bother: they won’t hear what I know is truth. That’s what a PETA person would do; point out in a rambling self righteous over-long speech how wrong anyone who doesn’t agree with them is. I’m not eating kittens, you know, but a Tiger that would eat your kids – you betcha, bring out the
