Yes and they pretty much all say ‘ caught in the north pacific’

We are omnivorous but dont need meat to live, we eat it because it’s nice

We may not need meat to live (we now have ways of getting similar levels of the proteins and nutrients that we need by eating other foods) but cooked meat was the keystone in our brains evolving to the level it has now become where we are capable of conscious thought and creative thinking. It was only by being able to absorb the huge levels of protein from eating cooked meat (only a small fraction of the protein can be processed if meat is uncooked) that gave us the fuel to be able to power such a large and energy intensive brain. We wouldn’t have been able to sustain this on the leaves and grains and raw meat that supplemented our diets up to the point that we learned to use fire as a tool.

Nah it is lamb. Fully grown ‘lamb’ is called mutton

No, it’s a lamb. My Uncle was a butcher in my village and for years I wanted to be a butcher too. I hung around his butchery after school for many years and learned a lot about the butchering of various animals and learned about the importance of quality meat as opposed to the processed crap you get in the supermarkets.

Strangely enough i have noticed a pattern when i have fish n chips recently, I have felt fine at night eating it but the next day my face is a bit swollen but mostly my eyes are very swollen and itchy and also my hands look like they’ve been blown up and they’re itchy too, and i feel generally unwell so had to take the day off work. I never related it to the fish but it happened again on monday night and i took tuesday off work, then the penny dropped when i thought about the past 2 times i’ve took a day off work.. I ate the fish n chips the night before! That has to be the fish, but fuck knows why??
