Mark Zuckerberg vows only to eat meat he kills himself

In an unexpectedly rugged move, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has decided that this year, he's only eating meat if it comes from an animal that he personally killed. Who knew he had it in him? Zuckerberg explained in a recent interview that he wants to be "thankful for the food I have to eat. So far, this has been a good experience. I'm eating a lot healthier foods."
Apparently, a friend of Zuckerberg's has already taught him how to kill goats, chickens, and lobsters. Sustainable and kind of cool, but also a little horrifying to envision, no?

Ridiculous rich people doing ridiculous shit.
It's more horrifying that people eat so much shrink wrapped meat with zero respect for the life behind what they eat. Considering that humans have been hunter gatherers for 2+ million years, we are extremely disconnected from our food these days.
Humans have only existed for 200,000 yrs. Jr.
You're right if it's Homo sapiens. If you want to go all the way back to Australopithecine use of stone tools, it's more like 5–7 million years ago.
Yes, your right, but I wouldn't consider them "human."
There is debate on how far back we are going to consider our ancestors human among scientists but that is besides the point Jr. is trying to make.
@patricjames: I would. They had feet like ours, walked upright, had opposable thumbs, used tools, etc.
Yes, it is besides the point, but I wouldn't consider anything with a brain size 1000 cc smaller than a modern human... human.
Haha... Well, as with some other things, I think it might be less about size and more about what you can actually do with it.
In the scientific community I believe our closest ancestor they consider "human" would be Homo erectus -- which I think is a bit of a stretch. Neanderthals on the other hand have more evidence of having a culture, something that truly defines us as a species (Their brains were also only 50 cc less than moderns). That being said I do appreciate all of the various Australopithecines who contributed to our evolution. And yes, we should have more respect for where our food comes from.
Most boring comment argument on Hooksexup ever.
Because you're THAT interesting... Thanks for your tremendous contribution.
well all things considered, what mark is doing what's natural...and a hell of a lot healthier than what the rest of us eat.at least he knows that the chicken he killed lived a good life and died fast.At least he's n0t eating foie gras
It's not natural to boil a lobster alive - it's sadistic. And I personally know chefs who feel exactly the same way.
Where exactly did you read that he's boiling lobsters alive?
Who said anything about boiling lobsters alive? Neither the above article, the linked article, nor the commenter you were replying to mentioned Zuckerberg using that particular method to dispatch his lobster.
Boiling lobster alive is the general way of cooking them. However, I believe I've read articles suggesting that lobsters' nervous systems are too primitive to feel any pain.
cool Mark
well that explains where Tom from MySpace went...
DAYYYUM. Srsly though, that was very clever.
lots of vacuum sealed meat in his freezer, BUY A BIG FREEZER WHEN YOU WANT STEAK!
Things don't look good for the Winklevoss twins...
hahahaha good one
Sounds normal to me, if I had the option I would do that same thing. It's not exactly practical for someone on minimum wage.
I'm a vegetarian on minimum wage.
I'm a homeless vegetarian.
I just want to say that I read this as "vows to only eat meat UNTIL he kills himself."
as in taking one for the team.
damn.
I think I can translate this: by "Eat" he means "Swallow". By "Meat" he means "Cock", and by "Kills" he means "Pays Cash".
Cleverest man in the world.
So clever he thought of this only decades after the nuge ran into forests with his bow and arrow.
lol, that dude really is full of himself isnt he?

Good for him! Imagine if we all embraced higher consciousness & responsibility around the food that we eat & the impact it creates...what a different world we would live in!
Does he think we are a bunch of zuckers?
Killing his own meat?
* yes I'll have a big Mack meal please.....hold the meat patty and use this racoon I ran over earlier.
Least least he doesn't try to make his own museli......
Nobody likes a cereal killer.
I see a problem.
If we all converted from cash and carry to run into the forest and kill something, we're gonna have to make storyline changes to a few fairytale scripts like.....the three little pigs.....animal farm.....Brer rabbit etc....oh, the carnage out there.
Now you say something
