 When he's not too busy connecting people across the universe, Mark Zuckerberg is pursuing a new "personal challenge," as he calls it. "The only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself," says the Facebook founder and CEO. It's an odd dietary direction for the 27-year-old Internet billionaire, but since he has taken to killing goats, pigs and chickens, "I'm eating a lot healthier foods. And I've learned a lot about sustainable farming and raising of animals," he says. "It's easy to take the food we eat for granted when we can eat good things every day." Zuckerberg's new goal came to light, not surprisingly, on Facebook. On May 4, Zuckerberg posted a note to the 847 friends on his private page: "I just killed a pig and a goat." Read Mark Zuckerberg's new challenge: Eating only what he kills (and yes, we do mean literally...)

Karma dude...
“Our food is not just food: it is you. What you eat, you become. If you eat something which is fundamentally based on murder, on violence, you cannot rise above the law of necessity. You will remain more or less an animal. The human is born when you start moving above the animals, when you start doing something to yourself which no animal can do. Vegetarianism is a conscious effort, a deliberate effort, to get out of the heaviness that keeps you tethered to the earth so that you can fly — so that the flight from the alone to the alone becomes possible. The lighter the food, the deeper goes the meditation” ~ Osho
"One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter."
— Osho Meaning that vegans take themselves way too seriously. Laugh and live people.
I'm sorry. This proves only that he is a rich secluded jerk. To do what he says he is doing takes money. He is not raising the animal or its food. I wonder how much pleasure he gets from the "kill". For me I prefer my grass fed beef to come nicely wrapped in vacum seal plastic so I can freeze and eat at a later date. Hell it doesn't even have to be real meat. Just taste good and be good for me.
Oh gawd!! eatin a burger must be messssy!
So-called farm animal are just as intelligent and sensitive as your pet dogs or cats. BTW – we are ALL animals.
And to answer a previous post – when humans deliberately kill, it is WORSE because they know the victims suffer pain not to mention acute terror – but they do it anyway – for just a momentary pleasure of taste.
I am appalled at all the insensitivity shown on this board – but should I be surprised? No! Look at all the folks who don't care if the Arctic Wildlife refuge is despoiled just so they can get gas for their SUV's.
@Ralph, I am pretty sure a lot of folks on here love nature just as much as you do. Being a meat eater doesn't make person evil or irresponsible. I love eating animals but also love the environment. I have never own a car and planned on keeping it that way for as long as possible.
Some days I eat vegan and there are days when a visit to a BBQ churrascaria is what I want. I agree that the meat industry in the U.S waste a lot energy farming cow, sheep, etc and I understand someone people may not want to support that. However, not eating meat because animals are equal to human doesn’t make sense to my Christian upbringing or my scientist training.
The second and third parts of the sentence, obviously, being
1) I sh*t what I eat
2) I fertilize plants with what I sh*t
@Rahul: you see no difference between human beings and lions?
There should be a fine line on which topics America should support. This is not who we are. Publicizing your feat to prove your alphamale dominance should be taken with a grain of salt. To the wrong eyes and ears (specially children), it can be interpreted in a wrong way and cause irreversible influence. It all starts with killing animals, later adrenaline settles in and need to be leveled up, moving you up to something unacceptable. The verb "kill" should be used with care. This shows how rich people, influential, and powerful people can get away from scrutiny for their actions.
This Memorial weekend... Let's support our Americol idol – Zuckermann! Let's all go kill ourselves a pig and goat! And while you're at it, let's kill some cows, dogs, chickens, etc! LOL (Thanks zuckermann for setting such a good example to us all)! Viva el Zuckermann!
so what? animals were put on earth to feed us its called the food chain all you vegan/peta idiots!!!
125 score years ago, a great human, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, declared an emancipation.
But 2500 years later, animals are still not free. 2500 years later, the life of the animal is still sadly crippled by the manacles of carnivores and the chains of exploitation. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to have a self-check. When the Architect of our Universe wrote the magnificent words of equality that all animals would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life and liberty.
It is obvious today that the Great Architect has defaulted on His promise. Instead of honoring His sacred obligation, animals are taken as food. But we refuse to believe that. We refuse to believe that animals are for food. So we have come to tell the Great Architect that "Enough is Enough!". Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of His creation.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in the Universe until every animal is granted their rights. The whirlwinds of revolt against the Architect will continue to shake the foundations of the Creation until the bright day of justice emerges. On equality we shall build our temple and the gates of Heaven will not stand against it.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our Creator excuse to destroy us. Nor the militancy of his hosts be exercised against us as their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They should come to realize that their destiny is inextricably bound to the freedom of all creatures.
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until equality rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream and universal redemption as a mighty gushing wind.
I still have a dream.
I have a dream that one day this creation will arise up and live out their true destiny: hold these truths to be self-evident: that all creatures are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of the Savanah the children of lions and gazelles will sit down together at the ring of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even in fiery burning perdition, the fires will calm to a stand still and the children Islam will sit with the children of Catholics.
I have a dream that children of Buddha and Khrisna will roll on the joyous sands with the children of Martin Luther and Hudson Taylor.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, the vicious carnivores down Russia, Georgia and China will abate their tastes for meat of fellow animals.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the creation shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our Universe into a beautiful symphony of coexistence.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
Let equality ring.
Let equality ring from the rings of Saturn!
Let equality ring from the curvaceous chains of Andromeda!
But not only that; let equality ring from centre of the Milky Way!
Let equality ring from the pillars of the Eagle Nubula!
Let equality ring from every black hole, worm hole and star mole.
And when this happens, when we allow equality to ring, when we let it ring from every continent and every planet, from every constellation and every galaxy, we will be able to speed up that day when all creation, will be able to join and sing, "Equal at last! Equal at last! thank Almighty, we are equal at last!"
Vegans still suck on my Hambone.
125 score would be 2500 years....just sayin'.
What a major douchebag lol
Might I simply recommend going to Whole Foods next time.
Why is this news?
I can't remember why I'm writing you........So STFU and EAT MORE MEAT!!!
Wow, hunters like myself have been doing this all our lives and we are heathens....Zuck-nut does it and the guy is the second-coming... Good grief you people need to wake up and understand what happens in the real world. Just goes to show how insulated people are when a natural cycle in life stops them cold and makes news.
It's me again. Why are folks so angry on a Friday evening? Come on; go have a drink, a smoke, a chapter in the bible or whatever vice you’re into these days. Vegans vs Meaters is crazy talk. We balance each other like that Chinese symbol that looks like a big black and white cookie.
Live and let live. TGIF
I eat mostly meats that are raised on a vegetarian diet. Does that count. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm steak
He's got too much money too soon and too little maturity. He thinks we care about him. He's getting weird.
It'd be better if he just simply became a vegetarian.
boring
I eat mostly vegetarian, but will eat meat grown locally. I go to Whole Foods and a lot of the "natural", vegetarian options are processed with some chemical. For instance, these "militant vegetarians" may say they only eat tofu, tempeh etc, however they forget that soy grown in South America, in particular in the Pantanal region, is responsible for the destruction of the jaguar habitat.
Also, unless it is organic, farming vegetables uses fertilizers ( petroleum by-product) and herbicides that damage rivers and streams.
Do us a favor vegnuts, if you want to cease impacting the planet advocate for euthanasia.
I think he is sort of crazy...Anyone who would want to kill an animal out of enjoyment is sick...most serial killers start just killing kittens and puppies, birds....who knows how long he has been killing animals...most serial killers have no empathy or sympathy for killing them and they also seem to enjoy the blood and the struggle of the animal...Has he been trained as a butcher to kill them in a humane manner...maybe he's thinking of his enemies or people he hates while he's doing it.....I know of farmers who do the same thing....who know how he kills these animals, maybe he makes them suffer, gets enjoyment out of that....I think a man who doesn't care about most people or their privacy issues as he told the media from the get go...is a person who can't be trusted....but, then...maybe he's a nice guy....whose just misunderstood.
By locally and visit your farmer. If you think all kosher butchers are good, see this video: http://www.meatvideo.com
1. WHO CARES !!!
2. That is a novel idea Mark ! Today I will eat steak.....mmmm...let me brig my cow to my backyard and killit.....now...whoah...there is a lot of blood going down the drain...whatever.....Now I only need a big freezer to store the rest of muy cow.. Maybe on Tuesday we will have PORK chops....same drill as with the cow.
Oops...there is a lot of meat....a lot of waste...an very unsanitary....I think I wiill go to the Supermarket instead. It is a little more convenient and EFFICIENT.
Have you sheeple (no pun intended) considered that this idiot has actually lost his mind?
Finally he does something cool. Killing animals and eating their spiced, grilled flesh is something humans were meant to do.
I don't think we fought this long to get to the top of the food chain to NOT eat meat! Meatatarians (and farmers) unite....GO MEAT!!
Wonder if he stole the pig and goat.
Wow, all these good folk who think this is all perfectly fine. Heck, they even have their little ones raise the critters name them and shout out "you forgot one!" at slaughter time. It's called child abuse and you are helping to raise a nation of psychopaths.
As long as so called superior people put their immediate gratification, via their taste buds ahead of fundamental compassion for other living beings, it is no wonder this world continues to be a place of cruelty and suffering, for animals and people.
Oh, and snot nosed Zuckerberg is jaded now that he's made billions on an idea he ripped off. He has to get his kicks from killing and justifies it in the name of health and sustainability. What a creep.
BOYCOTT FACEBOOK. You're wasting your time anyway.
You should really eat some proteins as nature intended. Your blog post would be much less insane.
MARK I think you would make a perfect MEMBER in the NRA!
ahh city folks, they read one of those food revolution books and think killing some pig makes them more connected to nature. Down here, people have been killing animals themsleves out of pure necessity, not for some hippy fad.
What a douche bag!
wait, isnt he jewish, its ok, bacon is too good, :) nom nom nom
Eating meat is acceptable.
Gratuitous meat is what is wrong.
CNN news flash. MarK Zuckerberg just took his second dump of the day!
"The only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself," says the Facebook founder and CEO. Does that include staff members he doesn't like and competitors?
Animal has consciousness. What a way to be come one someday Mr. Zuckerburg. You will regret it when the animal you kill becomes your predator in the wild. It is a never ending samsara.
Researchers from Michigan State University have discovered that plants have a rudimentary nerve structure, which allows them to feel pain. According to the peer-reviewed journal Plant Physiology, plants are capable of identifying danger, signaling that danger to other plants and marshaling defenses against perceived threats. According to botanist Bill Williams of the Helvetica Institute, "plants not only seem to be aware and to feel pain, they can even communicate."

So what is your point again?
Keep your yoga and religion (along with your moral compass) to yourself. You argument is invalid.
One should never kill family members..............against the law.............
is it Kosher?
I pity all the nay sayers out there that are so far removed from their hunter/gatherer senses. If the food isn't delivered or on the shelves of the local supermarket they wouldn't have the first clue how to feed themselves. Providing meat isn't always pretty, but being only on the receiving end of a pre-packaged steak doesn't excuse you from partaking in the slaughter of the animal. I am lucky enough to know that my deer meat has lived a life in the wild and it the first truly "organic" meat out there.
Somehow, this whole line of thought leaves me wanting a double quarter pounder with cheese
after hearing such statement I made a decision: close my facebook account. i am vegan.
Facebook is starting to suck more and more anyway
Is this what really passes for news these days?
http://socialmoderatefiscalconservative.blogspot.com/
Is it any wonder that Jon Stewart beats up on CNN so much?
Wonder if he ate those twins that he just murdered in court over ownership of Facebook???
"I can afford to be better than you"
Me too
I figured he learned this from all of the hours he wasted playing Farmville on Facebook.
The fact that killing animals for food is commonplace in many countries, I fail to see how this is news. Is it because the animals are killed at the hands of a Billionaire? Money certainly buys you the limelight even if you have nothing to say!
Actually, I'd like to try elephant heart. Beef heart is delicious.
I've heard that elephant penis can be used as an aphrodisiac.
oh go suck on it
Why haven't this animal been prosecuted and locked up for cruelty to animals? I guess that's the privilege of been rich. Animals slaughtered for consumption en mass are done quickly, painlessly and humanely as much as possible. Who's making sure that the pig and the goat didn't suffer at the hand of this jerk?
Your name fits you well
It must be pathetic to go around life trapped with a mind as poor as your own.
This guy could run down an elephant and strangle it bare handed, rip the heart from it's chest and eat it raw, but he'd still be a geek.
A disgusting human being. How about going vegan?
Now why on earth would someone want to do that? What are the benefits? Will I be healthier? Will I live longer?
*sarcasm*
:) Try saying that to a guy that has fed you nice and Chubby so he can cut your head off and eat you for dinner :) Oh.. trust me we will see that day when a man eating alien arrives and starts eating us all lol
We don't eat humans. But if you piss us off, we do like to grind you up in a meat grinder and feed you to chiggins, the monster equivalent of jabba the huts pet.
We don't take kindly to dipshits.
But we don't get pissed easily. Mark is getting close. But he's too high of a profile and we ate still evaluating. If he really gets on my nerves, I will extract him with this sort of dimensional drive and grind him up. I will then replicate gis body and clothes in a synthetic, and leave the synth on earth so nothing seems out if place....it could. Be remote controlled or the body after some sort of simulated accident...
Either way.....zucky will get what he deserves....
And I feed my chiggins good. I slaughter it real good and ugly.
I'd go vegan in a heart beat, if we could reclassify beef as vegetables
You keep shoveling down that beef and you won't have a heartbeat for long.
C'mmon guys..killing and eating other animals is perhaps the rule of nature. But we have gone against natures rules in billions of ways. Lets go against this rule for humanitarian reasons. Or if meat can be produced genetically without having to kill someone or something, may be its a better choice don't you think?
Soylent Green is so good for you. Would you like some?
No thanks. I prefer veggies :). Soylent green..good one..I had to look that up
Shame on the sick,selfish, human race.
Hey, you stole those animals from us!!
So many people are completely detached and disconnected from the meat they eat. It's good to realize where the meat is coming from, and the costs of obtaining and producing it. If you are a meat eater, you are also killing animals (indirectly.) What's wrong with doing it in an up-front and direct way?
It makes a mess. I'll take mine cleaned and wrapped.
Zuckerberg's famous pig?
This is what kids in rural America, and rural everywhere else (especially 3rd world countries) do all the time. My first time killing a goat was when I was 14. I've killed chickens many times since I was 12 (I lived in Nigeria for some time). I'm glad to see Zuckerberg setting an example with this dietary choice though. It IS a healthier one, and it DOES help one value one's resources instead of taking them for granted.
Eating meat is one thing, being the savage who slaughters the animal is a different thing. You have to have something dead in you in order to take the life of another living thing.
Right...the fact that I am the only human to touch the fish that I catch, clean and cook means there "is something dead in me"...?
Even so, I can live with it.
Thank you, Abe, you are absolutely right!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BOOOOOOOOOOOO
Feel better?
He does have that.. "I'm really smart and weird", look. This could be really interesting. He needs to stop shaving and start making his own clothes.
why cant he get hit by a bus
The bus is aiming for you, that's why.
Zing!
Obama did it.
LOL..i wondered why no one said yet
Probably easier to do when youre a billionaire and have acres and acres of land that can raise animals on. But it is commendable. Did someone else write this? I didnt check the other 400 comments.
My Mom loved naming her male calves she raised every year for eating, such nice names like T-bone, Hamburger, ect. It's just how you look at the world. I once knew a man that wasn't worried about farmers going on strike, he shoped at Krogers. People just don't get eat any more that food is not a factory made thing. It is not made in a can or bag.
Like sitting on a t**let surrounded by glass, this article supplies WAY too much information.
All he did was read The Omnivoire's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. He acts like he's doing something amazing for animals but he's still killing them?!
Do you think he was screaming, "Squeal Like a Pig, WEEEEEEEEE.....WEEEEEEEE....WEEEEEEE?
I think the bigger question is - why does Mark Zuckerberg get a private page when he has dictated that mine must be searchable by anyone on Facebook? What if I don't want the general public to be able to search for me?
If you don't want someone searching for you then don't put so much personal information there, or don't have an account! It's not rocket science. Duh
Since when is pig meat healthy?? He is just trying to look less dorky.....
I guess the rich and famous get pretty bored eventually! Mark's childhood was not that of a farmer's kid so I suppose the sudden facination of "kill and eat" supplies a need for power and control over something defenseless. Facebook must be a bore by now!
Poor animals!!! they have to die so you can fill up your stomach eat veges!!!
Poor veggies! Only difference is they don't scream.
If you listen closely, I bet you can hear them scream...ever beheaded lettuce?
Can I have your autograph?
Please learn to spell "veggies"!!
That's so special! Give this man a billion dollars....
Why don't all you angry, ugly, little vegans go ahead and run along and toss each other salads. You need some brown in your diets.
Do you expect US to help pay for your heart attack?
This guy is a jerk. Just shut down my Facebook account.
This guy is still a jerk but all my friends disowned me for shutting down my facbook account. I now have it back up and running.
He's sick. Try taking care of animals instead of killing them. It's a lot healthier on both sides.
The experiment he is doing is already done at human race level during our evolution. We are where we are because of this experiment by nature and human are best in surviving among all living species. The "taste" and "smell" are evolved senses and meat taste and smell good. Enjoy the long life we have as a result of this human evolution. We are not smarter than nature, so flow with it.
Well the issue Baljit is that we have gone against nature in various ways. Infact every minute of our lives is spent going against nature. Lets leave killing and eating to wild animals because they are only capable of doing that. We are smarter and can make better choices.
But I believe nothing can go against "nature", it won't survive or it will evolve and become natural (law of nature/evolution). Nothing is outside of nature. We give to much credit to human for changing the nature.
Here is a healthy food directory http://www.farmerspal.com/
jealousy at it's best. Just because this guy had a great idea and made it worth while, you guys slam him. But hey, you probably do that with everybody who has more money. No problem, he will laugh his butt off.
Killing animals you intend to eat should never be a problem. However, butchering requires a significant knowledge of anatomy, which might explain the use of a meatcutter (also called a butcher). I had to learn how to "butcher" the chickens I killed from a book, and it took a few attempts to get it right. At one time, I hunted/raised all the meat I consumed, and did most of the butchering myself, but larger animals require more expertise. For instance, a rabbit or squirrel is easy; the fur comes off just like a little coat. Cows, deer, pigs, goats – they need a bit more work to turn into usable cuts of meat.
The things you can do if you have lots of money. The life of a Billionaire!!
We ran our as$es off from the animals for 2 million years. It's our time now.
So if he runs over a squirrel.....
I'm assuming he's just referring to Farmville.
I thought jews did not eat pork.
What an appalling man. Brags about killing animals as if that was some kind of many heal concious action then admits he can't dress them himself and has to have someone else do that dirtywork. If he's so determined to kill his own food then he should do it all. Let's see if he can stomach the real nasty result of his stupid ideas. What a pig.
He has been playing too much Farmville.
facebook just wants to be in the news and thats why we have meanless articles almost everyday specially on cnn. In addition people comment on these things. lol and facebook enjoys that
rofllolbbq is such an utter idiot it boggles the mind! It is sad that such people exist and spread misery and self entitlement like its some sort of badge of honor. The meat industry is the largest polluter on the planet. Not to mention the endless suffering they cause. The amount of resources that go into one pound of flesh is staggering.
I'm sorry, but isn't he Jewish? He's eating pig?!!
"I only eat what I kill myself," he said, admiring his matching leather shoes and belt. "Hmmm, what IS this fine, man-made material?"
Wish I would've seen this article sooner, what a great idea! I killed some nice fat ants out in the patio today, too!
This guy makes me sick. He should do a tour in Afghanistan, to get his bloodlust out of his system. It is Memorial Weekend, and here we celebrate this f-er. "I only eat, what I kill"; write your code and make your bullshit FaceBook better, leave the killing to the butchers, they know what they doing. Are you tough now! Wow.
This guy has lost his marbles. I'm sure his next fetish is going to be throwing parties and in the middle of it, he releases tigers and rattle snakes.
Big whoop. How about not killing animals and eating veggie. Why does big money end-up with the worst people.
this is news why exactly? who cares!
Wait, a pig? Isn't he jewish?
Not all observe dietary laws.
Zuckerberg eats.... PIGS? Zuckerberg?
I only drink the beer that I brew. Take that Zuck!
I tried it all: eating only organic, being a vegetarian. I must say NONE of it made one iota difference in my health. In the end, everything turns into the same sht.
While eating organic food exclusively is unlikely to affect your digestive system, following a strict vegetarian diet (that means not eating fish and chicken occasionally, as so many not-really-vegetarian people do) will make a huge difference. Meat is difficult to digest. Contrary to your crude statement, the excretions of a vegetarian and a meat eater are not the same. Just ask someone who cleans out septic tanks.
You're one of the lucky ones. There are alot of people out there who's metabolisms can't handle certain foods for twho benefit from one or all the diet types you mention.
The militant vegans who post the same tripe over and over could stand to have a dump truck's worth of tolerance for those of us who don't have to eat vegan or whatever to be healthy. And unless you're my doctor, you have no clue that what I'm eating is good for me or not.
what a great service to society, a CEO that talks BS on the media, are we in front of a celebrity looking for scandals?
what an idiot, there is so much good messages this guy could be saying that doesn't involve killing, this is the guy that wants to run a Fortune 500 USA company, promoting "killing", does that makes you a man ? WOW, great message, the society really need this things,
SERIOUSLY This Guys A Fag!
But his gf is seriously hot.
he's a 'fag' that can buy and sell you a thousand times over. and hes not even 30 yet.
haha, the guy has Oprah Syndrome.
Oprah Syndrome is when very rich people, getting tired of luxury, start being obsessed about what is decomposing/rotting inside of their bodies.
Your brain being your most obvious example.
Mark Zuckerburg is a liberal stooge. Just sayin.
Sustainable farming is mathematically and logistically not possible with the current population. You expecting people to keep goats in their apartments? Do you think there are enough fish out there for every single person to eat and deer for every person to hunt as much as they currently consume? No, there is not. Only factory farming can provide enough flesh for the demands. Only with antibiotics and hormones can they keep the animal machines going at the pace they need to produce to meet the meat demands. I'm glad Mark is in a philosophical inquiry about where his food comes from and his relationship to it. I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion he reaches.
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." —Albert Einstein
And there is enough land to raise alllllll the veggies we need to feed everyone in the world? Even if there is, what happens when the population grows from the (alleged) lack of diseases? What happens when we do run out of space? The way I see it, we should be encouraged people to be unhealthy and die off early. Population control....just sayin'.
I think all the success has gone to his head and he's going off the deep end with a God complex.
P.S. Watch out for grown men that look like boyscouts....
What a pitiful "personal challenge".
""The only meat I'm eating is I've killed myself,"
Haha, it would be funny hear a grizzly bear saying this after an encounter with Zuckerberg.
HAHAHAHAHA–the bear would throw him back–too small!
prolly his way of manifesting / cathartic to how he feels about all his sheeple,
Sheeple – LOL! That's just too funny!
Makes me feel a lot better. It shows that no matter how rich you are, if you have no real purpose in your life you will find something stupid and make it your life purpose.
BTW, killing living creatures is nothing to be proud of. Yes, it is necessary, but it doesn't make us less of a holes.
Is so odd that people have no hesitation to kill farm animals to eat, but would go into grief if their pet dog or cat were killed. I was raised on a farm and all the dairy cows had distinct personalities. And we let them die naturally. Plant based diet is not only kinder to the planet, but healthier for the human body. Go to an industrial cattle feed lot to see animals in pain and fear. Very sad.
Do you name your farm animals, give them nice cotton beads to sleep on and toys to play with? Do you bring your cows into your house and rub their bellies? Do the chickens you have get all excited when they see you coming and run up to you and beg for attention? I didn't think so.
Actually, chicken and pigs do come to "greet" you. I know that from experience.
That's only because they look at you and see one of their own.
You didn't offend me. Some pigs and chickens are better than people. Only they have been delt a bad hand.
I just blow the shit out of buildings and hope there is a couple Vegans left in the rubble.
Killing a pig on farmville isn't the same thing Mr. Zuckerberg
Everyone seems to be getting wrapped up in the part of the conversation about killing the animals. The exploration of the concept of sustainability is something of which we should all be more aware. Livestock animals become the cellophane wrapped cuts that the majority of our country's population selects out of the butcher's case. When we sit down to the table, the concept that an animal gave its life for us to eat a delicious meal tends to get lost.
Of course the conversation is all about killing the animal. Reason being, there is no need for him to do this. We all know that animals are the source of the cellophane wrapped meat in the supermarket. Most of us don't feel the need to butcher animals, or weave our clothes or ride a horse to work either. This just looks like an exercise in "LOOK AT ME"!
walking into a goat pen and opening fire on the nearest goat so you can eat it doesn't sound good to me. hey zukerberg, go hunt some animals that can actually run away. make it a challenge at least.
I actually just read an article in Modern Medicine about how eating 8 ounces of lean meat a day actually can cure cancer, tourettes, astigmatism, rabies, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Lupus, Polio, Ebola and a host of other deadly diseases and fungi.
I can't find the link to the article though....
Little rich boy finding ways to amuse himself. ISince you're not in the slaughter business, there's something really creepy about your doing this....yuck.
I hope your not from KC, that would be an embarassment. So people who take advantage of the natural food that our world offers us is creepy? If I fish in the streams and decide to gut a fish and eat it other than getting on from the store that had to be shipped 5000 miles over seas to me using energy than I am a creep? If I decide to take a turkey from the BLM land a mile from my house and feed my family with that instead of having the meat packing plants take care of that for me I have problems? You have it backwards, what he is doing is good and if more people did this there would be many benefits to the environment.
I have it backwards because I don't agree with you? Don't think so. Let's not pretend he's the great white hunter. He kills animals and then his servants take them away to do the dirty work. He's not killing animals to feed his family. This is not Daniel Boone. Yes I think he'a creepy, and bored.
I've always though Zuckerberg looked liked a sociopath. There is something missing in his eyes (I've seen him in person up close...it's not just a trick of the camera). I suspect he enjoys the act of slaughtering. Sick freak.
Agreed!
HEY Prima donnas- it was not all that long ago when this was how it was done by EVERYONE. Save the "that's gross" comments.
The pioneers, hell even more recently, you raised your food. If you didn't, you bought your meat from the farmer down the road. Publix didn't always exist. People got their hands dirty – and for that had a better appreciation and respect for their food sources.
Hey, MARI, "it was not all that long ago" that people treated slaughtering and dressing of meat as a necessary chore and left it at that. They didn't broadcast their bloodlust to the world.
...mainly because there was no way to broadcast it to the world. That is, until Mr. Zuckerburg and his social media empire came along.
Oh please, he doesn't feed, raise or clean up after the animal while its alive just kills it when it's presented to him then he hands it over to a famous chef to be cleaned, cut up and cooked. Lame lame lame!
If the average generation spans 20 years, then it's been at least how many generations since the average citizen was as "close to the Earth" as you're both wailing about? Do you personally know people who are tilling the soil and/or killing their own food? I have my doubts. Some people aren't comfortable with the idea of killing something and having to clean the carcass and they're merely expressing their opinion. You two, OTOH are attacking their opinions as if you had that right. I submit that you don't.
I'd like to see you give a shot (pun intended) to this sort of activity to see how you handle it before you lambast others and childishly resorting to name calling.
People are addressing different issues– that he killed his food and that he broadcasted it. OK- so he's a rich spoiled youngster and many are uncomfortable that he broadcasted the kill with pride. Whatever. Most of the people on this board go the store and pick up the package of meat without the appreciation that somebody raised the animal and somebody slaughtered it. They are totally removed from the process– but they are the first to cast stones on the guy. If some of the people on this board had to go back to the time and raise or hunt their own they would be starving.
and BTW- I can damn well opine on any thing I want - too bad for you.
And YES..... I farm. AND YES .. I personally know many people who raise their own.
@SocietalObserver, you are rude, and you are - no surprise - very wrong. I do live among people who grow their own food and slaughter their own animals. I have killed animals myself. I am now a vegetarian.
I LOVE TO KILL THINGS! PEOPLE TOO!
You must love that caps lock, too Zucker-tard.
"Rich guys kills things.." WHO THE F** CARES!
This makes perfect sense to me. I don't know what all the fuss is about, if you eat meat someone has killed that animal and you just get the benefits. If your complaining about him killing his food then never eat meat again becuase you are a super hypocrite.
I guess it is more like many of us can't envision someone slaughtering animals in their mansion. Well, except for Jed Clampett.
OOOHHHH NOOOOOO! Not someone taking responsibility for their own lifestyle choices! THE HUMANITY!! Deciding to make sure that food animals are humanely slaughtered? *faints*
So, Mark Z is well on his way to being even more eccentric than Howard Hughes.
Folks critisizing him should get a life,people forget that developing countries do this everyday.Why should this be news for CNN?
i don't know about you, but i've never seen a wild cow. i think their sole existence is due to the fact we breed them for food. if we all stop eating them, i think they would eventually go extinct.
There are many members of the subfamily Bovinae in the wild. The bison, African buffalo, the water buffalo, the yak, and the some antelopes.
Is he going to eat myspace?
Truly this guy is a shmuck of the first order. I would love the chance to slap him silly. With the sharp side of the axe, no less.
I don't understand whats the problem with him using Farmville?
WFC? Waht a waste of electrons.
Who cares?
This is actually "news"?
Dear Mark Zuckerberg: I deleted my Facebook today. I really did. And I am encouraging others to do the same. Apparently didn't learn your lesson from Godaddy's CEO?
Good luck with deleting it, they still have everything for "safe keeping".
That's true. But they won't be making any more money off me. That's for sure. And that's the important part.
You, sir, are an idiot.
I'm an idiot. Right. Facebook is a waste of time anyway. I doubt I will miss it much. Probably will be better off for it.
You show them. Best have all the killing behind closed doors with illegals doing it right? Don't want to have to think about how that food actually gets to your table, don't look here, nothing to see or think about....moron.
My main issue with it is the inhumane methods of killing he is using (slitting goat's throat is NOT a humane way to kill), and the fact that he seems to take so much pleasure in the killing part of it. He said in one of his entries "I love hunting! I love killing animals!"
And of course, people who actually enjoy the act of killing animals often have sociopath tendencies. Getting pleasure from abusing and killing animals is a strong indicator of future sociopathic activity, such as serial killing of humans.
This is what rich people do once they get bored. They try to live like poor people.
zionist juuw eating pork hes going to h e l l
And so are you for that atrocious spelling.
how much ya wanna bet hawaiidude has a facebook account to the site owned by the "zionist juuw"
Let me know when a muslim comes up with someing even 1/10th as awesome or world impacting as facebook. And it has to be non-terror related.
Ugh. He sounds pretty proud of killing the animals. Something to relieve boredom?
Give him Shrek and Mullah Omar
Rich white people problems...
Anyone who finished the first paragraph knows that the headline "Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg eats only what he kills" is totally incorrect. Does he kill the lettuce to make his salad? No.
"The only animals that Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg eats are those that he kills" would be correct.
Yep, I hear he kills his own lettuce too! LOL
LOL! Yep. He only takes the heads!
at the resturant i worked at wede get live lobster. no diffrent then killing an insect. people would get squimish. to the rest of us it was just like breaking down a piece of fruit. its food to be prepaired and eaten. same with everything else. kudos to FB DB for killilng his own food
why kill poor animals because they cannot defend themselves, is that the reason? if anybody has balls go fiight the tiger/lion with bare hands. Humans are filthy, History has it the poerful will always show their strength on the weak & they call themselves man, some one mentioned in the remark earlier that those who dont eat are pussies, it's better to be a pussy than a JACKASS-MORONS. MR. SO called Man, Please fight a tiger with your bare hands & then after you have done that please pass the remark, if you cant just shut it & take a hunting knife & shove it, you know where...................
I prefer to use my bear hands...thankyouverymuch.
I actually did killer a lion and a tiger with my bare hands. They were babies though.....
I eat babies too.
Me too! I have a picture to prove it :)
Bwhahahaha!
I only eats beaver.
Zuckerberg has a choice between helping rebuild our public schools, helping create programs for the homeless, contributing to medical research, or learning to kill animals. So what does he choose to do? Wow! All those years of Hebrew School gone to waste. Some Bay Area Chabad Rabbi should take this m'shugenah and knock some sachel into his kopf.
Oh shut up. Why do you get to dictate when/where he spends his time and money?? This has nothing to do with altruism or charity, it's his personal life.
If he kills it, does that mean he is also butchering and dressing the animal? Does that means he is cooking it up too? If not, he should immerse himself in the whole experience from farm to the dinner plate. Otherwise it is just a publicity stunt. I think that in general many people have become detached where their food comes from and how it makes its way to the consumer. If done in a 'humane' way and not for some sick fascination with killing animals for the heck of it, this could be a real eye-opener for a lot of folks. Maybe people would think twice before wasting their food, and be more inclined to eat their veggies.
Someone should also tell him it"s easy to eat "sustainable" foods because you're a freakin' billionaire!!!! Have you seen the price of organic, free range foods. I, too, would love to eat like that on a daily basis, but my salary won't allow it.
I love to hear when a Hunter gets shot while out hunting, I always like a story with a happy ending. What sicko enjoys taking a life? Facebook....bubbye....
I like happy endings ...... after a looooooong session in my dungeon. ~_~
If everyone started hunting for food and growing our own vegetables, we would all spend less time on Facebook!
I know a chick named Agne...she's hot.
Now I feel so much better not being on Facebook. Maybe he can start pages for all the animals that he kills. Here's hoping that he just becomes a vegetarian, then he can kill plants only.
Rich people are very bored so they find these trends to follow, or they make some drastic change, and it then everyone looks to them as a trend setter, as different, or a step above. If I were rich with a lot of time on my hands and no real problems, I think I could find better things to do with my time....ah but pork tastes good....goat tastes good.
My response to vegetarians of all types. :-)
-
Listen up brothers and sisters,
come hear my desperate tale.
I speak of our friends of nature,
trapped in the dirt like a jail.
Vegetables live in oppression,
served on our tables each night.
This killing of veggies is madness,
I say we take up the fight.
Salads are only for murderers,
coleslaw's a fascist regime.
Don't think that they don't have feelings,
just cause a radish can't scream.
Chorus:
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)
How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)
It's time to stop all this gardening (it's dirty as hell)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade is a spade)
I saw a man eating celery,
so I beat him black and blue.
If he ever touches a sprout again,
I'll bite him clean in two.
I'm a political prisoner,
trapped in a windowless cage.
Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips
by killing five men in a rage
I told the judge when he sentenced me,
This is my finest hour,
I'd kill those farmers again
just to save one more cauliflower
Chorus
How low as people do we dare to stoop,
Making young broccoli's bleed in the soup?
Untie your beans, un-cage your tomatoes
Let potted plants free, don't mash that potato!
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir fry are sealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (you fat gourmet slob)
How do you think that feels? (leave them out in the field)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes, your composts are graves)
It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macrame)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade.....
from The Arrogant Worms, song "Carrot Juice is Murder."
FTW!!!
well if its ok to tourture plants and animals and then eat and kill them....why not humans!
Sounds like a really good idea. Why not start with all the people whos usernames start with H?
lol!
Hi Mark I'm an old man and I'm very impressed with your intellect and all your endeavors including your newest in "food quality".Mark you seem to have a social conscience and a considerable amount of wealth. I'm sure you're not opposed to venture capitalism. Would you consider vertical farming, with all its attributes to environment and/or food quality? See the book "The Vertical Farm" by Dr. Dickson Despommier.
He killed a "pig"? Isn't this guy "Jewish"?
It was a specially raised pig. It lived in a mansion and subsided off of Fiji water and truffles.
Some of us have jobs to do. We can't take time to slaughter our meat. This is a ridiculous notion that if you actuallty kill the food you eat, it is somehow better for society. Lets hope he does not have kids and subject them to "you shall only eat what you kill". I like FB and all but this is crazy.
Well I bet if you were a billionaire you would find a variety of things to do to pass the time other than working. Just sayin'.
Hmm, doesn't sound really kosher...
May I see that he looks like us, ok a bit spoilt but that goes with the territory. Those parents probably never knew that he's one of the new chosen beasts in the habitat. Can he be weened off??? Just as much as the Justice department and Province stayed Satanic Defense he will answer to his own judge permitted he still has a conscience instead of every Full Moon A beastly party celebratingn Black Mass.
What the hell are you smoking? Share!
I'm just going to guess that 3 of your 4 personalities are fighting for possession of your body.
Real Men like me eats meet and vote Pailn 2012
The funniest part of people like Zucker, Facebook servers suck up so much energy and create all this pollution, but he wants to get back to the basics and kill animals himself like he's in a village. So being off the grid is ok for himself when it comes to resources like food but then he turns around and violates everyone's privacy and forces them on his own "grid". Comical.
Be disgusted if you want, but it's in the bones. This clean, disconnected society we live in is brand new on the evolutionary scene. We have a long history knocking things in the head and roasting them over a fire. It's why so many people who don't need to go hunting, go anyway. They are being driven. That's why it's satisfying.
Aaron you haven't figured these Illuminati out. I have... In a 100 years they would have emerged. I made virtual leap to draw them out and they are here, complete with Mammon, Moloch and Baal He's just a small token of their strategy in this instant trying to bring us down because we must succumb to the same or die. It's a dangerous time with these Two World in the same existential Track of Life. I hope all goes well but in my heart I know better
In your heart do you also know that you are a big ol' cup of crazy or am I the first one to break it to you?
I eats meet all the time aint nothing wrong with it. Animals meant to be killed and eated. Palin 2012
Go Vegan!
Eat me.
If those who eat meat do not want to believe the proven health benefits of a varied vegan diet, oh well. When they are all sick, obese, miserable and on the verge of death, we vegans can all whisper a chorus of "told you sos"
There is a "high and mighty" vegan response.
Way to prove the point that militant vegans and vegetarians are hateful, spiteful, holier than thou, souls.
sarcasm
Is it OK for vegans to eat cow poo?
Yes. It is heavily encouraged.
The only vegans I know are in excellent health. Of course they do exercise as well as eat a HEALTHY vegan diet. Did you know that potatoes fried (french fries) in vegetable oil/peanut oil are vegan? Yup-if you only eat that and never exercise, then you indeed will be a fat slob. A varied and healthy vegan diet is the way to go to help prevent many common aliments such as diabetes and cancer. Also to address the "pasty" comment. Meat, dairy and eggs DO not cause skin to be darker. Maybe vegans tend to be more health concious and therefore wear sunscreen more than those who chose to eat a diet that includes animal products?
Being more concious of what we put in our bodies is the first step to healthy living.
Don't forget the tin foil hat. Complete utter tripe. Why top your cereal with healthy milk, when you can top it with watered-down sawdust from your health food store (and pay 4x more than healthy milk!). Go hug a tree. In fact go hug it so hard that it falls on you. One less hospital-bound moron the taxpayers have to support because the moron is too stupid to feed their body what it's supposed to be fed.
Maybe we'll be roomates at the hospital. I'll be suffering tree related injuries while you are dying from the myriad of conditions linked to a meat based diet. Don't worry, I'll take pity on you and pull the plug if you ask. See I don't want any ANIMALS to suffer.
Milk (cow's milk) has to be fortified for it to be "healthy." Plus cows are given antibiotics and hormones to control the infections that build in their udders. So your "healthy" milk has cow udder pus while my soy or almond or hemp or coconut or rice milk has none.
Oh and a majority of the human population is lactose intolerant. What do you think of that?
people like you are the reason our environment sucks. I wish we could put a coal plant in your back yard.
nah, the majority of the minority, are lactose intolerant. my son is lactose intolerant but i don't act irresponsibly and take away life's other important things just because of this. as for the fortifying, milk by itself is healthy. it has to be pasteurized, yes and there's nothing wrong with adding vitamins to something, like omega 3 adds to super-eggs. put the hippie bible down and read some reality. as for the unplugging of stuff, shouldn't you be staying away from electricity? i mean, nuclear fuel is a threat to the environment right? i live on nuclear fuel. what do you think about that? ™ better get that tin foil hat taped to your head and burn your cellphone before it's too late!
what's wrong max, do you run a health food store?
Andre, so it's ok for other people kill animals so you can eat them as long as you don't have to do the dirty work? Hypocrite.
to the silly vegans claiming people should eat only what they could kill AND raise themselves, that they somehow should go through the entire process single handedly...
should all vegans have their own farm to grow all fruits and vegetables they eat themselves? It's a ridiculous concept. Specialization is an integral part of a functioning modern society. There is nothing wrong with specialization and there is nothing wrong with benefiting from those who specialize in farming. You don't need to raise your own meat to appreciate what farmers do. That's just simplistic and foolish thinking.
i'll simplify this so no one has to go into detail anymore or make fun of veggans for being wierdo's and pastey. This guys is a sick **** who likes to kill. having all that money makes him feel empowered and invincible so he kills and brags about it like its a new life style choice. the guys is an crook and an idiot...
there you go. see, easy.
I just love it when an ultra wealthy person/celebrity "discover" some new lifestyle that has been going on for thousands of years and adopt it as some new philosophy.
Besides being dishonest and a cheater, he now also shows that he has a disturbed and insensitive mind by killing animals.
how does killing animals make you "disturbed" and "insensitive". Are you saying all farmers are disturbed and insensitive? Have you never eaten meat in your life? Someone had to kill that meat.
you vegans are pathetic.
Killing another life form may it be insect, cow, or human is wrong. It’s pure and simple. It may be true that in human civilization people have been killing animals for food and now in this vastly advanced society normal people would not kill animals yet in some form animals are killed for human consumption. Its true that to survive we will do anything including killing and interestingly that excuse worked for our early ancestors but I don’t see how that could work for our current society.
I’m not an extremist vegetarian or fanatic religious person but common sense dictates that taking a life is wrong. Neither Suckerberg nor I have the right to take another life and doing so will only mean you will redeem the consequence of such negative karma in this life. I personally think it should be a moral dilemma for anyone who kills animals. Killing an animal and in this case the same animals he raises means he takes the power upon himself to determine who lives or dies and he who kills is no different than people we condemn for killing humans, killing your own family members.
May be that’s a too strong of a comparison but killing changes someone. If you can kill the animal you raise and then consume it, you’re not far off from committing other crimes that’s more heinous. People who oppose could use as many selfish reasons including being macho or sustainable farming/living. Sadly if it requires you to take another life to appear as macho or make a name for them then no matter who you are, you are yet another pathetic soul.
This is a sign of a severe social problem. First he only talks to people via facebook... he has proven to be antisocial. Now he is slaughtering animals to feed on? What next? Klling and eating people?
Hell yea, why not. you've seen the movie hostil right!! LOL its what they do when they get bored.
1. how do you know he only talks to people via facebook? Have you met him yourself?
2. How is killing animals wrong? How are we going to get our meat otherwise?
3. Killing animals =/= killing people that is idiotic.
sum pun... involving FarmVille...
Such lack of compassion.! A frightening and appalling attitude. Next life, it will be HIS turn.
hate to burst your bubble but this is the only life there is no next life. and killing animals isn't disturbing, what is disturbing is that there are people like you who are so uneducated and ignorant that you actually believe killing animals is disturbing. Humans are omnivores, we have enzymes to digest both plants and animals. This shows we evolved under conditions of eating animals...
so eating animals is a NATURAL thing to do. In nature animals eat other animals all the time.
Also we kill animals for other things like leather (sneakers), soap (animal fat), and preservatives (which prevent food from going bad). so killing animals is actually completely natural.
If I'm reading this correctly, you state that anyone who has an education KNOWS that there is no afterlife? You have no faith and that's fine, but don't try to tell the rest of us that education equates to a lack of faith.
I'm educated and I just don't believe that.
Dear young medical student: Your arrogance and lack of heart and life experience is sadly lacking–and very telling. Perhaps you should transcend your brain for a few moments and lock into another kind of reality–a reality where true love and compassion overtakes and fills your soul. Then you will realize how misguided you truly are. All true Masters of spirituality speak of the law of exact payback for every action committed. And, seeing that one life is just not enough to balance the debt, then many lives are necessary. It is pure physics–every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. I suggest that you occasionally put down your medical books and broaden your scope of education through philosophical/spiritual inwardly-directed studies that just might raise your consciousness and give you a heart.
"All true Masters of spirituality speak of the law of exact payback for every action committed. And, seeing that one life is just not enough to balance the debt, then many lives are necessary." – that is metaphysics BS.
Why do we keep making animals our equals when they are not. At the same time what animals do is considered natural and what humans do is not considered natural. Arent we humans part of nature? Didn't we evovle from monkeys?
I suggest the ad campaign have the following motto: "FaceBook – Destroying dignity and marriages since 2006"
Well said.... This site is everything that is wrong with society today. i'm trying to figure out when folks though that everyone else wanted to know the crp they're up to. nothing is sacred anymore. that's ok though, he'll go on making billions while worthless fools use his site because they need attention. the site is litteraly filled with bullshoot.. everyone's bullshoot..
No, the site is not filled with sh it, I am.
There is nothing "sustainable" about everyone killing their own food animals. The amount of resources that would go into such an inefficient food chain would be enormous. Like most food trends, this is all about "feeling good" about oneself. Very selfish, really.
I just killed a goat and a pig. Toy Giraffe next week.
Being that he only eats what he kills, Mark had a side of "MySpace" with his goat and pig.
He is making sacrifices to his masters on Wall Street.
Only problem with that statement, is that FaceBook is not a publicly traded company... "A" for effort though.
Tool, most of the major players all have him in their pockets. tool....
I am not a veggietarian, but I can not eat something that looked me or that I may have petted or touched, etc. I couldn't kill anything, period. I actually wish that we would ALL stop eating meat. The way the slaughter is done is absolutely inhumane and painful. So sad.
"I am not a veggietarian", " I actually wish that we would ALL stop eating meat"...... someone has issues
"I can not eat something that looked me or that I may have petted or touched, etc."
If I followed this rationale, I wouldn't have ANY fun.
I hope when the end of the world finally comes you beautiful people will be left here to be hunted. I only ask God if
I can have front row
you're one of those!! it was supposed to happen saturday but god was busy with something. make sure you camp out for your front row seats come october though. i hear that's the next time its supposed to happen. maybe mark can kill us some pigs and stuff in preparation.
Erika – God is a fairytale. You will be better off to buy your tickets from TicketMax.
So does he not eat out? Or if he does, does he tell the waiter "I will take the pork tenderloin. *reaches into his bag* And please use this tenderloin, I butchered it myself this morning."?
I disagree with anyone who thinks it's cruel or gross or whatever. We all eat meat and we're all accustomed to just finding it pre-cut in the meat section of our grocery store. It COMES from live animals in the first place, and someone had to kill them, so there's no difference there.
I just wonder about the practicality of a billionaire bringing his own meat with him wherever his busy job may take him.
It's called fishing, you nitwit.
How pretentious and economically uninformed to think you must do things yourself. Our species naturally specializes and trades for resources.
I hope he's being consistent here and only wiping himself with toilet paper coming from trees he's cut down himself. Only filling his gas tank with fossil fuels he's drilled for himself. Only using metals and other natural resources that he has dug out of the ground himself.
Idiot. Rich idiot but still an idiot. I guess he feels guilty for making all that money. He shouldn't or he should give it to me.
whenever you see a face like mark's in front of a large company, there are usually two or three guys behind the scenes that really did the work. judging by all the lawsuits he's had to endure. that seems to be the case here. you don't see the likes of Jobs or Gates anymore. true inovators in their time. Jobs did have wozniak though. he was the brains behind the operation.
so yes, today's rich are idiots. this guy seems to take the cake though. ahh... to be young, rich and completely dee dee dee.
See, you are making too much sense. The people who whine the most about being independent and living off the grid, are the same people who have the noses stuck on their iphones.
This article is great, it is analogues to the broken product that he created. Notice how he did not actually learn the process of hunt, kill, clean, eat? He has the means and opportunity to see this "personal challenge" from A-Z but chooses to skip the most challenging part, the processing of the dead animal. Speaks volumes about his personality and approach to problem solving whether he "likes" it or not. #dislike
If I had infinite money I would do the same thing. Living paycheck to paycheck in Florida I can't afford the luxury of killing animals to eat. Who cares what Mark Zuckerberg eats? I'd be more interested if the article was about how he eats his own feces..... just saying.
Throughout the history of human civilization people have been killing animals for food. Just because these days it is done industrially, remotely from most consumers who are unaware how it's done does not change the fact that much of our food consumption still relies on the killing of animals. I do not see why it is suddenly a moral dilemma now, or that it should be a moral dilemma for someone who does the killing themselves. Humans are omnivores by nature. Should we start morally chastizing our pet cats because they eat meat too?
And no study has shown that eating exclusively non-animal derived food products makes anyone healthier. In fact, pure vegans have trouble finding suitable subsitutes for several needed nutrients. True, excessive meat and fat consumption is unhealthy. Hence the trick is to have a balanced diet. Some of the highest life expectancies in the world are at places like Australia and Japan. Neither nation is known for an excessively large vegetarian population. Japan eats a lot of fish, and Australia's national cuisine is barbecue. But they balance their diets. And yes, it involves the killing of animals.
Next year I will concentrate on tossing salads. Who wants to go first?
lol. that's all i can say. this is LOL gold.
I hope this guy isn't going nuts...there is so much good he could be doing.
I bet you say it to people in person. You pussy internet people! Carletta would never eat anything I kill. I won't kill though. It's against the sabbath
Try catching the animal with bear hands before you kill and eat it !!
Where does one get "bear" hands?
I get mine at Bears-R-Us which is right next door to "I Can't Bare To Look" a local strip joint that offers Bear Burgers for lunch.
Winning comment! LOL
T-Bone tooo funny!
Good to know! Makes it a lot easier to kill those innocent animals when you have bear hands with bear claws!
I thought maybe he got his bear hands from MTM... ;p
lol
I get bear claws from the bakery department.
I agree – you should know where your food comes from and I think you will eat better quality food. He has the platform and the financial menas to make a difference ... I say Bravo! Use your money to teach me more.
LMAO! He likes turtles but I got all dat gold!
Big deal?? Who gives damn.. I don't.
I only eat popcycles I freeze myself.
are u a popcyterian? Do you humanely cut the plastic packaging open with scissors or do u savagely tear thru it w/ your teeth? How do you think water feels suffering thru that slow cold torture of freezing?
I do my hunting in the meat department at Publix.
Oxymorn! Zuckerberg eats PIG! I just dropped by nail file. OMYGAWD!!!
What's the benefit of killing an annimal that you eat yourself. Forming a "personal" relation with it before it's dispatched? I hunt deer in season, but if I had to depend on what I kill, I'd have starved to death several years ago.
Must be nice having all that free time to do stuff like that. Dork.
weird. It is news if a rich SOB does it. Lots of villagers in China and India do it too.
exactly... this is someone with too much money who likes to kill stuff. he's not hunting, he's not hurting for food, he just like to kill animals it sounds like. he doesn't even have the balls to clean up his own kills. and what farmer/hunter have you ever seen send their stuff out to a top chef for processing. give me a break folks. he likes to kill and has enough money to be able to do so and then brag about it...
Another sociopath billionaire. Not surprised. Those of you on here actually supporting this freak are PR hires.
He is a billionaire and can eat as healthy as he wants simply by hiring a cook and creating a diet plan. The choice to "only eats animals he kills" has nothing to do with diet.
It is an excuse for a sociopath to get off on killing animals with a plausible excuse to justify his hobby so he does not have to hide it and risk it being exposed setting off a PR nightmare.
He is an absolute psycho.

Too bad he does not think that deeply about the product his company produces. So does he kill the animals on a farm or is he hunting them in the wild, the article does not seem to cover that detail. Anyone can kill an animal in a cage. Research shows that young people that are cruel to animals usually escalate and commit bigger crimes.
I was wondering what happened to all my pigs and sheep on FarmVille!!
If I had his money, I would do the same thing, though I would call it "hunting" and "fishing"...
He is not hunting, they are bringing him captive animals a few times a week, leaving him alone with them and he is slaughtering them.
You are right that it is a hobby not a diet choice.
He might be doing other things while he's alone with them too. I think we're alone now, there doesn't see to be anyone around...run little pig, run!!!!
wierdo.... this is just another rich SOB who likes to kill things. he's doing it cause he's bored. but now you give him air time cause he stole everyone's idea to get rich and kill animals. go mark... you're a hero. facebook is ruining society..
The hardest part about hunting is not the killing. it is the processing of the animal. Killing something is easy but breaking the animal down and cleaning it and making use of all the parts is the hard part. He probably still needs to learn how to do this which is why he brings the animals to an expert for processing. Any dumb animal can pull the trigger. He just needs more expierence
that's purely disgusting!
All these idiot wanna be hipsters dress and act like him trying to hit the lottery in San Fran currently, now they are going to be killing animals thinking it'll give them some eye opening revelations into Zuckerberg's money making soul. He should have just kept his big trap shut, all these wanna bes don't have access to top chefs to teach them and prepare food so there's going to be a lot cruel sheet going on.
What an idiot! All that money and he does this with his life? Go pound sand Mark!
Well we shouldn't have to be eating each other to begin with to sustain our own bio-energetic field, but since we do here, I think this is definitely a more respectful and appreciative way of eating meat than to just go grab a pound of turkey at the deli counter and contribute toward death farms where animals are just raised to be killed. I take advantage of the conveniences we have here, but I definitely give direct appreciation to every single thing, plant and animal, that I consume here. Remember to thank our living, breathing planet for allowing us to be a part of her evolution.
That the heck is a bio-energetic field? Is that a RONCO product?
it's hippynese for "i have no idea what i'm talking about, but i'll see you tomorrow at my health food store's counter, where I'll convince your friend, dieing of terminal cancer that they need to stop with the chemotherapy – my bottles of pills will cure them". bunch of inbred con artiists.
I'm all for hunting and killing what you eat, but how is Mark raising and killing his own animals any different than the "death farm" you describe. Isn't he basically doing the same thing?
Only difference is he probably doesn't have 1000's of them crammed together in a warehouse, but they are all being bred to be on bread.
Go choke on a subway sandwich. Make sure there's nothing but roots and dirt in it (festering with pesticide) so you don't get cancer. Idiot.
Death farms? Is that where Sarah Palin's death panels meet?
I need to get a new Louisville Slugger, the baby seals are ready for culling.
Larry,
i wish you dont meet a person with a BIG bat
who wants to take out U!
Ted, take a online course on grammar and spelling. That is the most jacked up sentence I have ever read. Now, I have to get back to having my meat stick basted.
PETA where is PETA!! Get him!!
They are all at Denny's right now having pig, cow and chicken products for lunch...
Will someone PLEASE think about the pigs?!
I'm am, and I THINK they are mighty tasty.
Why don't cannibals eat clowns? Because they taste funny.
Really hate this dude. Next he'll be telling everybody how THEY should also only eat what they kill. Nobody will care, nobody will listen, Facebook will post a big IPO and a year and a half later the dot com bubble will burst again.
The Z is a success. His company isn't disappearing anytime soon. It's player meet hater here. Some call the waaaaambulance.
"someone", even. lol.
He must have spent some time hanging out with good'ol "Uncle Ted" ...
If you're gonna grill it, you gotta kill it. :)
I seriously doubt he actually killed a goat and a pig. But if he did, I suppose it is healthy to eat the animals you grow yourself. More power to him. The rest of us will have to continue to buy ours at the grocery store...

Cnn has run this story based on what Zuckerberg has said about himself. He didn't publish this himself. Also, he is basically just saying he is a hunter, which is the way the world progressed before modernization set in.
If you are a vegan, great, but vegetables are living things too. "Killing innocent animals?" Is a seal innocent to a shark?
Please pass the baseball bat, I see a baby seal.
wow i LOLd so hard i just about choked on my baby seal meat sandwich, layered with back bacon, washed-down with milk. yes milk, vegans – it's from cows. loaded with vitamins. call PETA because we're going to need the stuffed-animal feds in on this one.
Phillies,
the plants a Vegan/Vegetarian eats grows back again.
if one kills an animal it doesnt grow back!
its gone!
a shark has not much choice than to eat what he eats.
Good on ya, Mark. Might be good for us all.
What a big deal. Leave him alone. Facebook sucks for sure.
Hopefully Hugo Chavez will be next...after all, he IS a pig!
Vegitarianism is an answer to eating healthy. Witness cultures
of people who live a long time that practice it. It is good for people
and for innocent animals.
Why are all Vegetarians fat slobs?
Look up "Scott Jurek" in google. He is a champion ultramarathoner, and a vegan. I can understand people not wanting to be vegetarian, or vegan, but a comment like yours is just dumb.
how many vegetarians/vegans do you know Larry?
my age is 64 calendar years, but i bet i beat you in everything
of substance.
Then look up every other athlete in the world. They are not vegan.
Oh, please Ted. Pull your diaper up, and we will see. I just finished a Marlboro and a boiled bologna sandwich and will still out perform you.
The Witty One: Are you claiming that Jurek is the only vegan athlete in the world?
ok, everything is made up of atoms and they do shit. so everything that has something that does shit should be considered living. So all you vegans and vegetarians out there that are so proud and above all us omnivores should just quit eating and taking in any kind of shit that has shit that does shit. Plants, fruits, and vegetables are living things, heck even water has living things in it. as for all those athletes out there that dont eat meat, well they must be taking some sort of supplements to support their bodies as they metabolize during workouts, otherwise you'd just die. yogurt has probiotics in it. maybe we should reconsider murdering the millions of bacterias we kill when we eat yogurt. either way i gotta say statistically there are probably just as many unhealthy vegans/vegetarians as there are omnivores...look at how many unhealthy vegos out of how many vegos and how many unhealthy omnivores out of how many omnivores.
human beings have only been eating grains for 10,000 years, there is a litany of health problems related to gluten and other grain elements. in fact the healthiest cultures are those that eat a paleolithic or hunter and gatherer diet. wild game, lean meats, fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. heck we evolved on that diet for millions of years why wouldn't it be the best one for our bodies?
That can't be, god created the earth only a few thousand yrs ago. And in heaven we will all be vegans, lions will play with lambs............. hahahahaha
According to most studies, a Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world. The only meat is the occasional fish.
And when did humans become civilized? Before or after eating grains?
Vegetarians and vegans generally have to supplement their diets with pills and extra vitamins to still not even get close to a healthy diet. I'm sorry, but I don't want to eat greens, pills and protein powder to 'be healthy'. I'll have real protein, real vitamins and real food, thank you.
Thank you Jon! First sensible comment about vegetarianism all day!!
The only vitamin missing in a vegetarian diet is B12, which isn't a problem since so many faux-meats are fortified with it. I occasionally take a multi-vitamin, not because I'm vegetarian but because everyone should, regardless of their diet. I've been vegetarian for three years, and my health has only improved since the last time I consumed animal flesh.
people that push veganism like cult leaders usually run, or have friends that run "health food stores" that are basically shelves of pills (pills which are mostly placebo) to sell to mindless vegans. what the people who believe vegans' tripe don't realize is that veganism is a drug dependancy game (like big pharma but run at a consumer level) and it's forever profitable, because vegans' health is by default so poor that they cannot survive or live properly without buying pills to bring their mineral levels up to acceptable standard. health food places sell diluted crap at high prices so they're making a killing for selling sawdust – the consumer has to buy tons of the product (which they wouldn't have to do if they bought vitamins from a retail store). veganism is a mind game, nothing more and the people who are on this track are as bad as the suckers that follow in the footsteps of the doomsday church. wake up, dumb vegans!
Jon,
your comment shows that you know not much about what you talk.
a balanced vegan/vegetarian lifestyle is the healthiest what you may
do for yourself,the environent and animals.
eat well
re: B12, that's a nice assumption you have there. how about going to the hospital to have a blood screen/blood test done to see what you're REALLY lacking? check your blood levels before you pound back those 12 bottles of pills and then comment. you're lacking way more than b12, that's a guarantee.
I had a blood test done two weeks ago, as a matter of fact, and it came back next to perfect. Every doctor I see says I'm in perfect health. I don't take a bunch of supplements - I don't take any, in fact. I just eat smart and mindfully.
and lastly the vast majority of vegetarian men have little to no muscle tone and all around look terrible. the women look OK because it's ideal for them to be skinny an unhealthy looking (not in my viewpoint though)
mike: herschel walker is a vegetarian. google his image and then opine on his lack of muscle tone
1. herschel walker is NOT a vegetarian, he doesn't eat red meat. he has an entire line of food products for his chicken and pork recipes.
2. it's stupid to pick one or two examples that are the exception and ignore the millions of balding, flabby yet skinny 20 somethings walking around in hemp clothing.
Rick: knock it off. The people you are posting about do not help your claims. Herschel Walker eats only once a day. How healthy is that? Scott Jurek looks like a skeleton. Not a healthy image at all. A majority of vegetarians/vegans do not know how to handle their diets correctly. And that's a fact.
Morrissey some 25 years ago, he has not eaten meat for decades and once vomited after being hit in the face with sausage links onstage. Hardly scrawny
http://www.musicfolio.com/modernrock/morrissey.gif
Now in his 50s, not one to prance around naked, but he is not scrawny or underweight at all
http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/04/28/morrissey-royal-wedding-family-scroungers/
It is not a sustaniable practice to have a goat and a pig that were raised industrially held in a pen somewhere so that you can step in and slit their throats.
If he wants to be sustainiable, he needs to raise the animals himself. This piece of fluff story is insulting to any intelligent person and way off the mark.
Shame on whomever wrote it.
"If he wants to be sustainiable, he needs to raise the animals himself." Agreed. Not so much shame on the person that wrote the piece, but on Suck-a-turd for thinking he is being sustainable for killing the animals he eats. For someone that is supposed to be so smart he is doing something really stooopid....and he is a liberal stooge.
Oh my, would you please shut the F**K UP!
No where does he end up putting all the left over dead hooker parts?
He stashes them on MySpace.. nobody ever looks on there anymore.
Did he learn that on Farmville?
Yeah. He takes his farmville seriously
hunting and killing animals yourself gives a much different perspective on what it takes to get that meat. now if i have pot roast for dinner i eat it for breakfast, lunch until it is all gone. i waste almost zero meat at my house. good for him. people want to sneer about it but that cheeseburger you ate at lunch was killed, it wasn't pleasant, the cow knew it was coming and was very scared.
Oh, it's ok if Zuckerberg does it........
So Mark Z kills for his food because he thinks it's the responsible thing to do....but he makes people jump through hoops to get their Facebook account removed once it's been hacked. I think he has his priorities screwed up in the responsibilities category....I guess that means he officially is rich then.
"jump through hoops" – I've not had to go through this myself, but it seems to me you need to require some level of "hoopery". Otherwise it becomes possible for someone who is not you to claim they are you and that it's you who hacked the account. There's no credit card needed to sign up, so there's no ultimate fall back of calling the credit card company to stop renewal or anything similar to that.
That said, you do mean "young people" over 13 right? You're in violation of FB's terms of service if you're under 13 and using it.
oh, no someone hacked my facebook account, now i'm sad :(
wow someone is taking farmville to far...
Best comment evar!!!111one1!
I detest facebook, but I admire Mark for thinking outside the box.
ROFLMAO! WIN!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone is taking their unsustainable affluence too seriously
Why go to all that trouble? If he's doing this to "eat healthy," why not just become a vegetarian?
You absolutely do not have to be a vegetarian to eat healthy. There is no better source of protein than wild game.
Most Americans get too much protein in their diet, which leads to all sorts of problems. There's more than enough protein in a well-balanced, mindful vegetarian diet.
And why is it that the first thing meat-eaters always jump on regarding vegetarianism is protein, as if that's the most important thing in one's diet? If you're not eating fruits and vegetables on a regular (daily) basis, you have a lot more to worry about than a vegetarian does.
Is it any coincidence that heart disease, cancer, and a host of other lethal ailments have skyrocketed in the same century (and country) that saw the emergence of factory farming, making meat more accessible, prevalent, and affordable?
wow what a failure of a comment this is.
A vegetarian diet isn't healthy. Please try again.
Based on what?
I've been vegetarian for three years and am in perfect health. If all the prevailing research is accurate, I'll live a longer, healthier life than meat-eaters.
a VEGETARIAN diet is very healthy. a VEGAN diet is not., and no I am not a vegetarian.
Both vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as meat diets can be healthy. Meat is still the best source of protein out there. They are also an important source of iron. Humans evolved under hunting conditions where meat was a main source of sodium, protein and fat, and vegetables and plants were only a part of the diet. Our biochemistry reflects this
You CAN be a healthy vegetarian or vegan IF YOU TAKE SUPPLEMENTS to replace the vitamins and minerals that are not found in naturally occurring fruits and vegetables.
The fallacy of the "vegan diets are healthy because they are natural" fails because of this fact. The human body is not designed to be sustained on only fruits and vegetables. That is a medical fact. The only way to sustain a healthy vegan diet is to take supplements which are man-made. vegans actually DO have a high rate of nutritional deficiency, there has now been a recent propaganda campaign by a few vegan organizations to combat that fact. They have started creating websites and pamphlets with false information saying it's a "myth" when in fact the medical data is 100% conclusive that vegans have a high rate of nutritional deficiency.
Anyway the point is any of these diets can be healthy but there is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eating meat unless you do it in excess or it is the ONLY source of protein in your diet.
The best kind of diet is a balanced diet.
I've been vegan over 8 years and am in perfect health. I even had a vegan pregnany. My baby is perfectly healthy. She's a preschooler, and is the perfect weight for her age, and is taller than kids two years older than she is.
I have a vegan teenager, who is thinner than his fat classmates, and has more energy than they do, and also has better skin. No zits at all, and very few blackheads. We attribute this to his good diet. His father and I ate meat and dairy when we were his age, and our skin wasn't that clear!
We see everyone in our age group (mid 40's) getting shiny new prescriptions for cholesterol medications and getting terribly fat and bloated, meanwhile our doctors are stunned that our cholesterol numbers are normal. They are always very surprised during our yearly blood workups. They are also surprised by our blood sugar workups.
A meat-based diet is no guarantee of health.
It is possible to be a junk food vegan and eat nothing but Boca burgers and soy hot dogs, but many of us don't do that. There are too many wonderful dishes out there that are satisfying and healthy. Just as hot dogs aren't really satisfying for a meat eater, unhealthy "gut filler" foods aren't satisfying for us, so our choices tend to lean more toward the healthy side than the junk food side.
No matter what the diet, if whole plant foods aren't a part of it, good health will remain elusive.
Drayhoss, since your alias seems to be a variation of the name for a draft horse - which is by nature vegetarian, strong, healthy and not very bright - I find your post strangely ironic as well as ridiculous. The only problem one has to look out for in a veg diet is getting enough protein and the right kind of protein. It's not difficult to eat a balanced diet. The health repercussions that flesh eaters are prone to are numerous and well documented. Your comment is inane.
I don't mind the vegetarian lifestyle, I think to each his own and there is a lot of evidence to support it and all. What I don't like is vegan pointing out how fat I am because of what I eat and what a terrible parent I am because of how I feed my kids, etc, etc, etc. I know a few vegans and they all look sick with dark circles under their eyes and have transparent skin. Yeah, their cholesterol is great, but they look like Hell. Here's a little fact for the vegans: the average life expectancy of humans has more than doubled in the last four centuries. Over 90% of those people are NOT vegans. We meat eaters are doing just fine. Ever since a new high-protein milk drinking diet was introduced in Asia over the last few centuries, their race has started growing taller, stronger and living just as long as before. There is much evidence for each argument facts being what they are. Some individuals may prosper as vegans, some as meatatarians. To each his own.
If Veganism is so healthy, why is it that every vegan I seeis a pastey, fat, slob?
Because you need to get out more?
you damn right
If eating meat is so healthy, why are so many omnivores fat, pasty slobs? Why do omnivores have collections of medications to keep their diabetes, cholesterol, and heart disease in check? Why do omnivores have cataracts when they get old? Why do omnivores have Alzheimers? Why do omnivores have strokes?
It's a VERY rare thing for a vegan or a vegetarian to have health issues like those. VERY rare.
I think the answer is statistics.
Quit trying to disprove medical facts with your veganism. It is not "rare" for vegans to get Alzheimer's, cataracts, diabetes, and all that crap. I guarantee if every single person in your family had at least one of these diseases, you will get it too, even if you're an almighty vegan. ESPECIALLY Alzheimer's. It's called genetics. PLUS there is a type of diabetes that isn't for meat eating fat people. I know PLENTY of healthy people that get diabetes because it runs in their families. In saying that, eat whatever the h3ll you want. You might live longer than us omnivores but that doesn't make you ANY better than us. I hope your ignorance about diets and diseases doesn't reflect your entire lifestyle.
Now, STFU and have an oreo cookie..(they're vegan)
Here are just a few vegetarians and vegans you might know of: Carl Lewis, Mike Tyson, Tony Gonzalez, Tobey Maguire, Russell Simmons, Natalie Portman, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Connelly, Alyssa Milano...pastey, fat slobs?? Something tells me you don't know a whole lot of non-meat eaters. Vegetarians can be overweight just like meat-eaters but I've never seen a fat vegan in my life.
yeah eating "healthy" – turns you into a sickly person that needs to take days off of work because your body is so low on iron and other important minerals, it slowly shuts itself down. i have to deal with crazy vegans every day. the incessant whining about their digestive system problems... lol. feel like telling them "shut it and eat some meat. we're sick of hearing your whining."
Since becoming vegetarian, my digestive system has only improved. I used to get stomachaches after eating a steak or hamburger or whatnot - I don't experience that anymore.
Old, rotten meat actually builds up on the inside walls of your intestines, like calcium and lime does in pipes. That's what gives people a bloated abdomen most of the time: they're carrying around pounds of old, undigested meat. People who don't eat enough fiber and ruffage never get rid of this baggage.
you sound like one of those people that believes those "detoxing kits" actually do wonders for your system. have you read-up on detox scams – and how these detox kits make your body dependent on the kits to function properly afterward? i don't know what you're smoking but your hamburgers do not build up in your intestines. they are digested by hydrochloric acid in your stomach, that's concentrated enough to dissolve flesh. if meat is giving you digestive problems you need to cook it properly, in a clean kitchen. instead of taking all this hippie health food tripe at face-value, pick up a biology book written for the medical profession – not these health food companies who are after your soul and money.
Read the story. He states, "my goal revolves around not letting myself forget that and being thankful for what I have". Eating healthier is a byproduct of said goal...not the reason for his actions.
I find his quest admirable.
"I'm a plant rights activist" – Grackle
Good for you. Your website still sucks but at least you are learning to eat better.
Yep. Sucks at least a billion times over.
He's just ronery. Like Kim Jong Ill
On one end, he talks about living sustainably, but on the other, he is killing innocent animals. Why is it necessary for him to publicize this? He obviously does not truly care for the environment. Check out this article out celebrities who clearly care about the environment and have decided to take on a vegan lifestyle!
http://www.fourgreensteps.com/community/blogs/fourgreensteps/meatless-monday-inspirational-celebrity-vegans
Your comment makes no sense. You can kill innocent animals and still have it be sustainable...
Have you heard of a term called ecological efficiency?
I am not yet fully a vegetarian but eating meat is not what you call sustainable.
Yep. It is better to create a diet from lower thropic lifeforms.
And efficiency does not equal sustainability. It just means that it is less efficient to grow cattle, chicken, etc. That doesn't make it unsustainable, only LESS sustainable. Your argument does have merit though.
You do not have to be a vegan to care about the environment.. I hunt and I can guarantee I care more about the environment than any 10 vegans combined.
Vegans also tend to have a condescending, sanctimonious, attitudes which makes them just pathetic people all around. Be a vegan, but you are not better than anyone because of it, period.
I am a vegan, and have close friends who hunt a lot. I don't think any less of them. Most of the hunters I know care quite a bit about the environment. Mine is a dietary choice, not a "moral" one
Being a vegan isn't a fuking virtue, it is a choice.
The fact that something is a choice doesn't make it any less a virtue. I choose not to steal or assault anyone. Is my gentleness not a virtue? In that, I am not talking about my veganism, which is entirely a dietary choice
I'm curious, Rick. I see you use a computer. Do you know the carbon footprint that was created just to make that computer? Do you know how many innocent animals had to die to make that computer?
Do you live in a house? Lots of innocent animals died so you could live in that house.
Do you drive a car, or use any sort of motorized transportation? Yep, lots of animals died so you could do that too.
I could go on – the point is, however, that everything we do in the world kills innocent animals. So please don't pretend you're not just as responsible as the rest of us for that. Don't pretend to "virtues" that you simply don't exhibit.
Because displacing a few gophers who used to live where your house now stands is exactly the same as eating meat three meals a day for 50 years.
Let's see, killing animals which reduces overpopulation which according to you guys helps the planet or killing plants that produce oxygen and clean carbon dioxide from the air. We are meant to eat animals. It is unnatural and unhealthy to not eat meat. It makes no sense. We are omnivores. I wonder how many vegans there were in 19th century America and early 20th century before the hippie movement.
Veganism and vegetarianism isn't new. Aristotle was a vegetarian, and how long ago did he roam the earth? Pythagorus was a vegan. Plato was either vegan or vegetarian, I don't remember which. Ben Franklin was a vegetarian for awhile. I believe he started eating fish when he discovered they ate each other, which would make him pescatarian.
Some people feel Adam and Eve were vegan in the Garden of Eden because God told them he'd given them herbs and leaves, etc., and "for you these shall be as meat," meaning they should eat plants not animals. They didn't begin eating meat until they were banished from the garden.
So, if you want to go through history and get an accurate count, it's not possible, but since you feel vegetarianism didn't spring into society until the "hippie movement" I thought you may want to know it's been around a long, long time.
Gina, You missed the point. I said in 19th century and early 20th century America. (And that's North America if you are not able to read into that.)
people are free to living however they want. It's crazies from both sides of the argument that everyone should steer clear of.
Typical high and mighty vegan comment. Why do most of you vegans feel the need to push it on us omnivores and pre-face it with some "caring for the environment" crap. You do know that hunting keeps many animal populations in check don't you (I can provide examples), if anything it can help the environment. Senseless killing is uncalled for, but hunting and eating animals is necessary for the environment and our health (no a vegan diet is NOT healthy thats why you must supplement everything you miss in eating animal products, vegetarian however can be very healthy).
Eating meat is no guarantee of good health. And we don't have to supplement everything. And let's say we did. Let's say we had to get B-12 from a daily supplement (which we don't because many of our foods are fortified with it), and let's say we couldn't get amino acids anywhere and had a supplement or that (which we don't need because walnuts and black beans are loaded with amino acids and can be used in many applications, and there are other foods with a nice assortment of aminos such as hemp seeds, hemp milk, flax, etc.) the benefits of our diet outweight the ones of a meat eating diet. Vegans and vegetarians don't suffer heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cataracts, Alzheimers, diabetes, etc., to the degree that meat eaters do. It's rare for a vegan to get a disease like one of the ones I just mentioned, but for meat eaters, it's just "part of getting old". It doesn't have to be that way.
As for hunting, I know a hunter with a huge range and people pay money to come huntin' and killin'. He says if someone can't kill/gut/clean their own meat, they should be vegetarian. I agree. I thnk the animals have just as much right to live as I do, but if someone is going to buy meat from the store and talk to me about health I have to laugh. Meat from the store is loaded with toxins to keep it safe and fresh looking.
Raising food animals isn't good for the environment at all. The reason is because we use over half of the US water supply on slaughter animals. Such a waste. Plus, we have more land devoted to raising food for slaughter animals than we have devoted to raising food for humans. Again, this is terribly wasteful. In areas where cattle has been raised, the land is rendered infertile, which is why we have deserts in Africa now. Africa used to be more dense with plants and over the centuries has become barren because cattle ruin things with their normal movements. You should read "Mad Cowboy" by Howard Lyman. I'm not trying to convert you with that, it's just a really informative read.
My local Walgreens ran out of B12 so I started eating my BF's meat. I have noticed my genital warts have gone into remission and my complexion is starting to clear up.Now if I can quit pooping my pants I should be better by Monday.
Do you have these responses prewritten somewhere so you can just copy and paste them in articles like this?
Also – Do you enjoy spewing vomit out of your mouth? Cause that's all you're doing...just saying.
"Vegans and vegetarians don't suffer heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cataracts, Alzheimers, diabetes, etc" Total horse sh it.
@ Gina... Plants have as much right to live as animals! Animal chauvinist pig(weed)!!
@vegangina...thank you for reinforcing my original comment. Your post is completely full of garbage. Even you yourself admit to taking supplements. If all you take is B12 however, i can almost guarantee you are deficient in other areas, namingly essential amino acids. I know there are some in beans, tofu and whatnot but not in the correct proportions.
Meat contains toxins? No more than any other foods you buy off of the shelf. Just because it says organic doesn't mean it hasn't been treated or tampered with from its original state somewhere along the line (not all organic foods but many do get treated). If you believe otherwise you are naive. I am not ill informed, I don't know it all but my career as a food scientist has give me some insight here.
Your arguement about the environment is just stupid, sorry. I grew up on a farm with around 50 cows at any given time. The land was extremely fertile. Why do you think dung is such a good fertilizer. As for you Africa theory, you might want to research climate change in the area over the past 5000 years.
Typical emo vegan. Probably wears a turtleneck, square thick rimmed glasses and has less iron in their blood than a bag of sawdust. Oops better not mention sawdust because they'll get all emo about trees being cut down. Get a grip.
Hey roflo.. the most powerful, pound for pound creatures on the planet are vegetarians. Dont try the line that only meat eaters are "macho". Read up on some of the great apes and thier diet, and how crazy strong they are compared to humans.
Pound for pound, I would think that whales are probably stronger....just saying.
A comparison of humans vs. allegedly "vegetarian" anthropoid apes is frequently a part of comparative anatomy/physiology "proofs" that assert humans are natural vegetarians. ("Anthropoid" means the most human-like apes in the "great apes" family, which includes the chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan.) However, as knowledge of the actual diet of wild primates/anthropoid apes (from field observation studies) increases, the reality that most primates/apes include some animal foods (even if only insects) in their normal, natural diet is becoming better known. As a result of this, the myth of the "vegetarian ape" is slowly slipping away.
Who said the animals were innocent?
Oh be quiet...animals are a food source. Get OVER IT.
the end.
Innocent animals? Really? People that don't eat meat are pu$$ies.
I think we are reading too much into this. Its a good first step in trying to expand his conciousness and see a larger world. Thats it. Doesnt make him a saint, doesnt make my a hypocrite. Its just a step. What he does afterwards, if anything, is whats important and more telling of his motivations.
CARRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Which ones are the guilty animals ?
That would be the case if he had his own farm and actually did the work himself. But to just go kill animals to claim responsible meat consumption is ludicrous. I would admire him more if he stopped meat consumption all together.
Spot on and I agree completely.
Why would it matter if he stopped eating meat? Plus, in all honestly, its not like he would give a damn if you "admired" him or not.
You ae a moron.
I say good for him for stepping out side of his norm to experience something very few consumers would ever consider doing – Being a “hunter gatherer” (even if the “hunt” was conducted in a controlled environment). I also do not think that he is any more concerned about your opinion of him any more than you are concerned about his opinion of you.
how much does he pay you. butt kiss
I myself don't eat meat but I don't think your really being a hunter in a controlled enviroment. My dad and I use to go and use bow and arrows and he made sure you knew how to use them. He didn't want the animals to suffer even though we did shoot them, hunters do care at least the ones I know. My Dad now runs an animal farm, not to kill but to teach the public about them and maybe the young kids who have never touched any only see the feral cats roaming around.
Any person who eats meat should kill and butcher and animal at least once in their lives. If we were not so detached from our food people would care more about where it comes from.
I agree – if you don't feel something killing another living being you have no compassion. I know it gets easier with more exposure but when you don't do it regularly it can turn you off meat. Whenever I butcher something I tend to not want to eat it for awhile. Oddly for me, the smaller the critter the easier it is. For instance when I butcher a deer, I don't want red meat for awhile, but a bird or rabbit I'll cook right away. I also find the killing easier with hunting vs farming (I do both on a small scale) I think the pet factor as well as the tame/up close factor comes into play for me. We should all be eating less meat anyway – it is a major reason why our country is so fat and unhealthy.
We have become so detached that many people would not even be able to do that, ever. But, they will eat a whole crave case from castle no problem (and some how thats less problematic to them).
That's the whole disconnect right there - the mere assumption that others even care about that at all. To lots of people they care that it tastes good and doesn't make them sick...end of story..its food...we need food to live its really just that simple to most. Heck if you believe in God and read the bible (to each their own I don't care if you do or you don't - your believe is yours just as mine is mine) then you'd believe the whole main purpose for livestock was as a food source for man and no other purpose.
Basically I think the whole whacko extremist side of vegetarians is both sad and friggin hilarious to me at the same time.
They shouldn't butcher it. They should eat it as is after they kill it with their own hands. No cooking. Anything else isn't natural. Killing an animal with a gun or bow & arrow is not natural.
marnie, that's a good point. I find it very upsetting that we, as a society, have a tendency to claim we are taking the high road on any given matter, but we only barely touch that high road, and then we lie to ourselves and pat ourselves on the back about good we are. I believe this is the definition of "pious."
Eating only what you kill is one of these roads. Does he clean, dress and butcher the meat himself, and then use as much of the animal as he possibly can (meat for food, bones for tools, hide for clothing, tallow for candles, etc.)? Or does he pay a LOCAL butcher, who wastes as little as possible? I think these would be the criteria to make a claim like that. On the other hand, does he go on one of those ritzy hunting excursions where he's sipping lattes and brandy and has someone drive him out into a field in a decked out Hummer where he can simply pull the trigger on a gun, and has no more part in the process until his live-in cook serves his plate, which is one of only three or four meals he (and only he) gets out of the whole ordeal? I would consider that a very arrogant and wasteful process.
Too many variables in the situation for me to make a comment about Zuckerburg himself on this. I'd really like to know what he actually does. What is his actual process?
Perhaps you should read the entire article prior to being so righteous and condemning. The article goes into detail to explain that he slit the throat of the goat (under supervision) that he killed and that he also consumed the entire chicken (including innards) and even used the feet to make broth. Granted, he does have a butcher process the animals once they have been dispatched; very few people have the skill set to properly butcher an animal.
Out of curiosity, when was the last time you challenged yourself to live outside of your comfort zone and commit yourself to that challenge for an entire year? Are we to assume from your post that the leather belt and shoes you wear are artifacts from the cow you slaughtered, dressed and butchered? Bottom line is that he is doing this for his edification, not for your approval.
Bones for tools? He isn't trying to return to the stone age. There are many good uses for bones (soup, dogs, fertilizer, etc.) but when was the last time you saw anyone using bone tools? Little is wasted at the butcher although perhaps not for human consumption, hide, blood, bone, etc is used for other purposes.
He is just committing to killing his own food. I have a plan to try this someday myself – I want to try to make it a year only eating food that I raise. I don't intend to do the butchering of anything larger than a chicken – it is just too much work/skilled. I am easing into this a little each year – hopefully in about 5 years I can give it a go when my fruit trees are bearing.
"ritzy hunting excursions where he's sipping lattes and brandy and has someone drive him out into a field in a decked out Hummer where he can simply pull the trigger on a gun". He isn't in the African safari, you watch too much t.v. Try going hunting instead :)
I say we should make those vegetarians go out and harvest their own food. It's a lot easier to say the grass is greener when you get it from an 'organic' food from the produce section of a grocery store. May I add too that many of those vegetable don't come from the US, meaning that could anything on that apple they like and slap an organic sticker on it? lets not also forget that some of the people harvesting those fields live in poverty stricken environments and go starving.
I applaud him for the decision he made. It allows him to go back more to his roots in this modern society, and learn not to waste. As for the vegetarian mumbo jumpo We were meant to eat meat, deal with it. You can buy meat from responsible farms who raise and butcher the meat properly. Raising vegetables is hard work, ask any farmer here in the US.
A lot of vegetarians do harvest their own food...and Um no, they can't just put anything they want on an apple and call it organic. Get a clue, and stop making blanket statements. And drop the all these poor starving people are picking our apples & bananas routine...plu-ease. As far as meant to eat meat, not necessarily. We're omnivores, animals with a choice to eat meat or not. Actually more likely to be healthy to be a vegetarian as opposed to a "only meat-eater" to be honest. We NEED the vegetables/fruit to survive but not the meat. There are alternatives for meat, but not for the the vitamins/minerals/fiber that produce provides. Why don't you deal with it? Yes, there are responsible butchers out there, but they are not the majority and for you to be absolutely sure you are getting humanely/safely grown and butchered meat, you will pay for it. Not an option for many folks. Applaud him...whatever. Who cares.
Better yet, take those vegetarians & vegans and dump them on a deserted island for a year. Let them see how nature really views us. And see how many of them are still vegetarians and vegans when they get home.
I grew up on a farm. We grew our own vegetables, we slaughtered our own meat. Yes, we used a local butcher for the pigs and cows (we processed our own chickens), but until you've tried butchering your own pork/beef, you have no room to talk.
I was appalled by a story I read a couple of years ago, when schoolchildren from the bay area cities were asked where milk came from, and the almost universal response was "the store".
Everyone should have to raise their own food at least once in their lives.
V- I hate to break it to you, but any diet where you are forced/required to take supplements so that you stay healty is not a healthy diet. Period. This goes for eating mostly meat and eating nothing but vegetarian meals. Militant vegetarians are so deluded by their own propaganda that they see only what they want to see. I eat a lot of vegetables, but I also eat lean meats. I have a very healthy diet. Combined with regular exercise and activity, anyone can be extremely healthy on such a diet. By condemning yourself to a strictly vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, you are required to take supplements to take up the things you would get if you simply included lean means or the like in your diet. If you want to rant and rave about the conditions that are placed upon lot-fed animals, you have me in agreement, but move for change in the industry instead of outright condemning anyone who eats its product.
Many vegetarians grow their own food. Ive been a vegetarian since age ten and it had nothing to do with the way I was raised its been my own choice. Its so sad to see people getting upset that people are vegetarians. Some people dont like the taste of meat, as you said "deal with it". Why do you care what the hell other people eat? I dont run around getting upset with peoeple for eating meat...know your shit before you go talking it.
"By condemning yourself to a strictly vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, you are required to take supplements to take up the things you would get if you simply included lean means or the like in your diet."
Wrong.
Len: "Those vegetarians" think you're a bit, overgrown genital wart
Same here! Just because he's killing something doesn't make him responsible. It makes him a killer of animals, nothing more.
No, it makes him someone not contributing to the terrible system and culture in place in this country of animal abuse and disgusting mass slaughtering practices. If you had any idea where your food came from and the process in which it was handled you would find this less of a bad idea.
And they said money can buy you intelligence. Obviously not today.
Does fish count? I betcha a few million people do that every day.
Agreed with the comment about vegetarianism. It's a healthier way of life, causes no suffering to animals, and is significantly more energy efficient and less environmentally destructive. I forget the exact energy ratios, but calories from meat versus calories from any type of vegetation are significantly more costly and energy inefficient to produce. Also, the argument could be made that eating meat is only ethical if done so out of necessity. Why kill an animal that thinks and feels (less complexly than we do only to an extent) if we do not have to? In our society with modern agricultural techniques, meat consumption is not at all necessary (a rich and healthy diet is available without it), and the land would be better used producing vegetation for human consumption, instead of fields and fields of inedible GMO corn to feed cows and pigs which will later give us heart disease.

Thank you. And I understand the article is brief and probably taken way out of context, but it almost sounds like he LIKES killing animals. So, it's a bit sick, really, if as presented.
Kind of strange for CNN to get squeamish about snout-to-tail when snout-to-tail and locavorism is consistently lauded on Eatocracy. Seems more like responsible meat consumption to me.
Oh – not squeamish at all. Tune into Newsroom at 3:50 and you'll see.
gross.
God love him, but he is egotistical manic who is bad at his job.
yeah, he is bad at this job, that's why he is a billionaire and pays more tax in a week than you will earn in your entire life
I wish I could be that bad at my job
"After that, the dead creatures go to a butcher in Santa Cruz, who cuts them into parts." I knew I was gonna read that some where along the.
Try killing the animal after you have raised it as well as growing the food that it ate.
So what?! I've raised animals all my life and I gut them all the time. what's the problem?! It's called farming.
not a problem. I took care of, raise, fed and cleaned up after a flock of chickens. I gave them a pretty good life. Now it is their time to give back to me. Easy. Where is the disconnect? Same applies to the tomatos, peppers and okra I have planted and harvested. Same applies to the cow, goat, and horse (if we were in France). Oh, i get it, you do not have a back bone. Okay.
Just don't name them – pets are much harder to eat.
Mark Z,,,,,,,,,,,,,,could kill a second pig if he committed suicide..............
We raise cows and pigs for that purpose and my kids name them all – our last pig was named Bacon – there is no confusion what they are for. Last year we raised 4 turkeys for thanksgiving – we butchered 3 and the day after my daughter pointed out the window and yelled – "Daddy – You for got one!" I said "don't worry dear – Christmas is coming"
I also grow my own oats on 10 acres to cut down the food bill – 5 years ago I lived in the city and never thought I'd farm on the side for myself – but it's great and I love it.
Edzer: CORRECT !
I mean EDSR. sorry.
If I had the land do to it, I would. As it stands, I don't have enough ground to support even my own self, let alone my family.
As for killing an animal and eating it, I've done it before, more than a few times.
What does he want? A Brownie button?
It a very good way to prevent other's from sapping and impurifying all of our precious bodily fluids.
@edsr – what is your basis for saying that?
Jockohomo
It's a very rare and strange thing we call, "Farming". I raised cows, chickens, rabbits, duck, pigs. They were yummy and most of them had names, too.
well put, edsr, well put.
Not a problem. Name the pigs "Breakfast," the chickens "Lunch," and the calves "Dinner."
Zuckerberg is still a murderer and a hypocrite, just like all people who consume or use animal products. His move to kill animals himself might actually encourage his fans to enjoy slaughtering animals and watching them bleed. It is incredibly disgusting that the most famous entrepreneur on earth is so blind and selfish that he cannot understand the meaning of vegetarian and that he deems it OK to deprive animals of their right to live for his own satisfaction. Perhaps someone should try cutting his throat, just to prove his "transparency" and then just be thankful for the kill he was able to make. For Zuckerberg's information, you don't have to kill a sentient being to survive – regardless of who does the killing or how. People have known this for ages. But the carnivore conspiracy keeps everyone silent.
the moment you convince a lion to stop preying on gazelles, I'll stop eating meat.
When young people go "missing" in the neighborhood, Snowflake's young daughter is routinely questioned
@Hania – are you Lebanese?
What’s the big deal? I would much rather eat animals I farmed. As a kid I was given two chickens for Easter and they were awesome pets. Eventually I ate those suckers and it never occurred to me to feel bad about it. Those chicken were my favourite pets but it’s a survival thing. A lion would eat me in a second and given the chance, I would extend the very same hospitality to a lion and its cubs.
I have one golden rule: if a creature can’t produce off springs with home sapiens (of opposite sex), then it’s edible. Eating meat is not bad but beating it is a different story.
@San. We do the same thing. Next year's pigs will be Sarah and Palin.
@Hania ~ I hope an animal eats you.
It's not perfect, but hey! At least he's not eating shmeat! Maybe he read the main article on NoShmeat (dot com, of course)! It's great he's raising awareness on shmeat.
Let me invade your privacy with my addictive web site, I share with my "important" friends. And while I'm rolling around in my gold coins, let me tell you about how I like to slaughter what I eat.
Someone obviously just has too much free time if you ask me.
Look buddy...just cause your social media site failed.....
I'm sorry that you hate capitalism, but, I'm reasonable, I don't want to see you unhappy.
I'll pay for your one way ticket to either Cuba or China, where you can live in the communist system that you seem to love.
For real. I will pay for that ticket.
Right after you renounce your citizenship to the state department and they accept it.
While I'm telling you about my diet, let me tell you about how I wipe my butt. When I am tired of killing everything I eat, I like to take a long squat and use my bidet to clean off the poop. Bidet is a French word for pony (and in Old French, bider meant to trot). This etymology comes from the notion that one rides a bidet much like a pony is ridden. In addition, the bidet is also referred to as the "garden hose."
Thanks?
Someone is having delusions of Ted Nugent again.
Maybe this is a lesson why you crazy neurotic f–ks need to remember to take your medication.
Here is a chocolate gold coin for watching me wipe my butt. It felt good.
As a meat eating person,I don't begrudge others that eat the flesh of animals either. I believe that the picture posted shows a happy guy at an event other than the killing of an animal. The portrait gives the reader the idea that he enjoys killing. Anyone who enjoys the killing of animals may be a danger to society someday. Serial killers start with animals, and eventually work their courage up to kill humans.
I guess that you are proficient at butchering? No? Then, you have little to say about it.
Personally, I'd send them to the butcher too, butchers don't slaughter, they butcher DEAD animals.
Most people don't own band saws for meat, butchers do.
Pity you know so little that you need to denigrate what others do, yet you do less than nothing.
It's a lot easier (and more humane, since a mistake at worst only ruins some meat) to learn butchering on the fly than slaughtering, and people were butchering animals for centuries before the bandsaw was invented.
What he did was insignificantly different from going to a seafood restaurant and picking a lobster from the live tank.
Uh... yes, in fact BUTCHERS do kill animals and cut the carcasses into meat. MEAT CUTTERS are the ones who don't kill animals, they are specialized at CUTTING MEAT, and often certain individual cuts. Get it straight!
Goofy. Anyone can kill an animal. Why doesn't he butcher them himself, too? Then he'd actually learn something useful, and would actually be proving a point. This is not to say I kill and butcher every animal I eat, but I have done that (hunting). He's just doing the easy part. Lame.
You butcher the animals you kill so everyone should do that. Aren't you special.
I just killed 10 beers and drank them."
And when I was done I used my web site to read what you friends say about you. ha ha ha
Honestly, I was only helping the pig. Its' head was stuck in the fence!
Soon, Zuck will discover toilet paper...what a dork!
That dork makes more money in a week than you'll make in a lifetime. You could only hope to have half the brains he has.
Bill = @zzkisser. typical knob who equates money with greatness. look at all the greatness it created in corporate america and wall street, pud.
poor animals!!!
How BARBARIC and Completely MORONIC of this YOUNG jerk!!! Who the HELL does he THINK he IS anyway!!! That was a SATANIC thing for that BAD jerk (and he smiles about it, too- the IDIOT!!!!)! I can't stand this stupid jerk!!! I Love animals!! Is he the Devil's Advocate- OR WHAT!!!!!???????
Is he Jewish? I know he's Luciferian, so the Goat thing makes sense, but isn't swine off the menu for Jewish people? I guess it's kosher to screw your friends and partners and sell out the 'Faces' on FB to the NSA for a facial recognition database. Another New World Order Tool – wonder how the baby-sacrificing and eating is going?
1. Yes, he's Jewish
2. Only Jews that keep kosher are prohibited from eating pork
3. My cousins keep kosher
4. You are a Jew-hating pig
5. If you were slaughtered, my cousins would not eat you
Happy holidays to you, too
Ahh San ... someone mocks a jew and now he's a jew hater. I told a joke about a rabbi, a priest and monk the other day. So I guess I hate jews, catholics AND buddhists! I'm so hate filled!
