Omnivore's One Hundred (FINALLY)....

So it appears that I am the only one on EARTH that hasn't completed this survey and since I got my new fancy dancy laptop I guess I will no longer have an excuse not to post something to my blog on a regular basis...This one's for Liza- since she gave me the book that changed my whole outlook on meat in the first place...

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (I just marked mine with a Yes)
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. (I marked mine with a NEVER)
