ok, i don’t want to be didactic and sing the praises of veganism and vegetarianism…but if you walk through chinatown on a hot summer night (like tonight) i don’t see how you could ever eat meat again. the smell of rotting meat stewing in black garbage bags is just foul. unbelievably foul. bags full of dead chickens and eels and pigs and etc, left to rot for a day or two…it is awful.
that’s it. i was just walking through chinatown, and on a few occasions i thought i was going to hurl cos the smell was so bad.
and it’s always outside of the butcher shops and fish shops and the restaurants that have dead ducks hanging in the windows.
i love chinatown, but not on a hot summer night.
my heart goes out to the poor guys who actually have to pick up the garbage from these places.
if that were my job i would go home every night and bathe in a combination of bleach and acid.
