Stefan,

I didn't mean to say that I don't ever eat meat, I do just very rarely.

Eating meat raw is a brand new concept to me that I have learned about since
joining this list. I have eaten raw oysters in the past but stopped due to
concerns about contamination.  Currently, when I crave meat for more than a
couple of days I eat it by itself.  I naturally prefer it (prime rib, or a
steak) rare.

Intellectually, I would have to consider where the meat came from.  Because
of where and how animals are commonly raised, I just don't see how I could
possibly eat it.  Veal and lamb is objectionable to me because of the
methods used to raise them.  The mature animals are pumped so full of
antibiotics, growth hormones and eat insecticides in their grain that I
don't want anything to do with them.  I am sure that these are all issues
that all of you are familiar with.

Those are my off-the-cuff thoughts on eating raw meat.  Hope all of you have
a terrific day.
