After 9 Days of Vegetarianism
Cannibalism and carnivorism.
Both require death.

Jeffrey Dahmers and Hannibal Lecters of the world

people eat animals, but animals don't eat people
for we are the brutal tyrants of the food chain.

Cannibalism and carnivorism.
Both are sources of protein.
So is tofu.
