I'm made of meat, motherfucker.



















Christine Alexander, the newest addition to Carl Wolfson's morning show on Portland's KPOJ, saw the now-infamous Palin turkey slaughter video during the broadcast last week and was so disturbed that she swore she would never eat turkey again. This morning she is talking about the Tofurky she is preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I still find it fascinating that we as a society are so detached from the reality of the foods we consume that many of us never make the connection between the bird carcass on our table and the violent death that must occur in order to put it there.
