How to Eat Meat

Today was a well-known holiday in the collegiate world, namely 4-20. In celebration of this event, and also for the upcoming Greek Easter, my house hosted a Lamb Roast, complete with greek pasta and baclava. In honor of the event, I am including a few photos (see below) of the roasting lamb, and also writing a little something about how the environmentally conscious can choose to indulge in meat.

As most of us know, there are a myriad of reasons not to eat meat, including the incredibly detrimental environmental effects, health reasons and the inhumane treatment of animals. For some of us, however, the desire to eat meat occasionally clouds our ethical vision. In my opinion, the best way to indulge the carnivorous side of ourselves is to buy local meat from a nearby butcher. For this event, we ordered a lamb from a Connecticut butcher, then began roasting it ourselves at 10am. It was ready for consumption at 5:30pm - 63 pounds of guilt-free deliciousness!
