Whenever I go out to eat, I always comb through the menu for specific words: shark, snake, grizzly, etc. It 's not that I don 't like more standard dishes. I love a good steak as much as the next guy, but that sort of thing just doesn 't excite me anymore. If I’m going to commit murder by eating meat, as the animal rights people say, I want my murder to count. I hunger for danger foods.

I 'd like to use this forum to address these groups in another indented paragraph that takes up a lot of room on the page and makes it look like I 'm a prolific writer, but why bother: they won’t hear what I know is truth. That’s what a PETA person would do; point out in a rambling self righteous over-long speech how wrong anyone who doesn’t agree with them is.
