The title roped me in.
The title roped me in. Delightful humor in this little parable. There's an Indigenous American story about the introduction of disease in the world: when humans hunted the animals too much they got together and decided to bring illness to humans. Each one would bring a certain ailment when its flesh was eaten. That's why many indigenous nations would ask for forgiveness from the spirit of an animal after they killed it for food. The hunted had the last laugh.
You're right that meat, especially red, is a carcinogen.
