Can you believe this? Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame almost became a vegetarian because he wouldn’t eat any meat that he hadn’t killed himself? Can you imagine killing an animal?
It appears that Zuckerberg sets himself a personal challenge every year, some of his past challenges have been learning to speak Mandarin and forcing himself to wear a tie everyday. This is so weird, why doesn’t he try living among the poor for a year to see what that feels like. At least he could be doing some good somewhere in the world with these personal challenges, he has enough cash to help somewhere. Well, it appears, that this years challenge is to only eat the meat that he kills, he says “I think many people forget that a living being has to die for you to eat meat, so my goal revolves around not letting myself forget that and being thankful for what I have.” “This year I’ve basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I’m eating is from animals I’ve killed myself.” He further said, “So far, this has been a good experience. I’m eating a lot healthier foods and I’ve learned a lot about sustainable farming and raising of animals.”
Zuckerberg originally got this idea from a chef, Jesse Cool, who runs a restaurant near to Zuckerberg’s home in California. The first thing that he killed was a lobster, which he dropped into a pot of boiling water. Next he posted on Facebook, “I just killed a pig and a goat”, apparently he killed the goat with a knife. What next Mr. Zuckerberg? Hopefully our wildlife protectors in Africa will ensure that you never get a hunting license to come here and try to kill our lions and elephants as the next creatures on your diet!
Did you know Mr. Zuckerberg that you could have just lived on the farm for a week in order to learn about raising animals and sustainable farming, you didn’t need to slaughter the poor creatures yourself.
As we say in sunny South Africa – Sies man!
Patunia is a pat-of-all trades. She can cook like nobody's business one minute and spend the rest of the afternoon in the garden pruning roses or talking to birds the next. She loves living in Cape Town with her family, four dogs and two cats. And some goldfish. And those birds we mentioned earlier. She's not afraid of getting her hands dirty in potting soil or with new technology, and this blog is where she spills the beans on her adventures and experiences along the way.
Welcome to Everything, a blog about living life in South Africa and everything that goes with it. The ups, the downs, the shops, the scenery, the opportunities, the technology, the frustrations, the people, the food, the experiences, the animals, the politics, the adventures, the entertainment and everything else in between. 
The poster is an effing moron.
Why say ‘sies’ against what he does when there are people that get paid for doing it. You eat their meat from their kills, why can’t he eat meat from his own kills? Maybe you’re just jealous of Mark’s wealth and what he has accomplished already in life at such an early age.
The poster really needs to think his whole life through once more.
The interesting thing here is that he has become less of a meat eater, because he doesn”t just order ready-made meat. If anyone were to do the same, it would be whole less meat-eating environment.
I bet very few people would be able to slaughter the daily meat they wish to eat, thus making it easier to avoid killing and eating meat. I say Big up to you Mark……. Riches don’t have to mean carelessness about the environment and our fellow living creatures. Like every other living creature, If we kill, we kill to eat. Not random, wholesale slaughter.
