The Meat Sheet

The full story behind this page can be found here.

The short version is that this year I’m keeping track of my meat consumption.
Happy meat items will be in regular type.
Sad meat items will be in bold type.

If I am unsure, I will assume they are sad meat until proven otherwise.

* (Note 3/17: I know I am way behind, but I’ve got notes. Think it may still be salvageable. Listings from 2/28 – 3/16 are posted at an 80% confidence level. Perhaps it’s karma for encouraging others to forget their resolutions.)
