None that I've found. I'm not opposed to trying such things but I've
mentioned many times before, Boca Burgers and other faux meats (or that
fake Krab stuff, which I have tried) simply don't taste right.

The Donner Party didn't have the benefit of a cookbook... or Rod
Serling. Heh.

Gary is ascribing human emotions to animals. How about in nature? I'm
sure there are often nervous and worried wildebeests, antelopes, etc.,
especially if there's a pride of lions in the neighborhood. LOL

Animals kill other animals for food all the time. (Many of them also
eat plants.) They don't normally kill their *own kind* for food.

Humans are animals. There's nothing strange about humans eating other
animals *and* plants. But hey, if a person doesn't want to eat meat no
one is forcing them.
