Kudos to reporter Monica Eng of the Chicago Tribune for this extremely thoughtful, frank Sunday feature on her decision to try to really understand what it means to eat meat.
I imagine the timing of the story was coincidental, although I can't help but note that it ran less than a week after writer David Foster Wallace died. Any vegetarian/vegan foodie will remember Wallace's equally frank, unapologetic observations about the Maine Lobster Festival for Gourmet Magazine a few years back. If you have time, check out ALDF's blog post remembering Wallace and "Consider the Lobster."
