Interesting article about Mark Zuckerberg

Wonder if he sent a friend request to Ted Nugent...:bwahaha:

Ah, another rich guy who made easy money and is now bored out of his mind.



It's pretty cheap that he doesn't butcher the animals himself, he just kills them and then cooks the meats after they're processed by his dedicated butcher. Zuckerberg also isn't hunting the animals, he's going to farms which hold the animals captive, and he's paying a premium to slaughter them. This is even more pathetic than a canned hunt. :banghead:

This year I've basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself.

He's paying to slaughter animals that are held in captivity, and he can't do it reliably enough to put meat on the table? :bwahaha:



Zuckerberg says that he does these "personal challenges" rofl for only one year, and then he gets a new one. So this kick will end soon enough. Last year's challenge was to learn Chinese. I didn't know that one could learn an entire language, especially a tonal language, in approximately a year. I suppose he didn't say he learned Chinese to the point of fluency, but if he doesn't gain fluency then he hasn't met the asinine goals for each of his "challenges" that he dictates in the article.



I wish I had money to burn on zany hobbies that I maintained until I grew bored of them. :boohoo:

Isn't this what slaughterhouses do?



A canned hunt is taking a wild animal, keeping them captive, and then shooting them.



I would have to say this isn't as pathetic as a canned hunt. He kills a domesticated animal himself and then has it cut into steaks and burger.



Personally, I see nothing wrong with this, but I do not see it as news worthy.

I'm not so sure Mark Z made "easy money". He has made "sick money", but "easy"??? Not so sure about that.



I don't hunt, but at the same time, don't have an objection to those that do for sport or for food. I like to eat meat. I have hunted. I have butchered. I have no issues with these things, I just don't have the time nor the resources to do those things now.



If I had the time and the resources of a Mark Z I probably would do some interesting (possibly eccentric) things to pass my time.



Good for Mark. As long as he isn't paying to have homeless people rounded up, placed in the wild, and then hunt them down for sport, then I'm cool with it.

Caymen, can you really domesticate a lobster?



Zuckerberg is bragging about his "feat" of killing his own food. If he's going to brag about something, it might as well be newsworthy. Actually butchering the food himself & actually hunting the animals would be a step in that direction.



The article says that his whole "diet" idea came about from his own vanity, after all.



I find it hilarious that he ponders why his "eat only what you kill" diet hasn't taken off. Someone so "smart" should realize that thousands of years ago mankind realized that such a system was unsustainable over a population. :banghead:



Also, the original premise of the "diet" was that he would only eat what he kills, yet he's eating vegetables which were not killed by him. His "logic" about meat is directly applicable to vegetables as well.



This guy needs to take note from fellow California "luminary" Charlie Sheen and get in the news for something more newsworthy, or at least entertaining.

Cay you say you have never killed a lobster to eat it?



Point is, that he is doing something 70% of Americans have never done. Physically killed an animal for the purpose of eating it.



That is pretty harsh. I have killed a deer in the past with a shotgun and honestly, I did not enjoy it. I did not get close enough to look into the deers eyes before I pulled the trigger and ended that animals life.



This may be something more people should do. At least once in their life. Physically walk up to an animal and slit its throat and watch it die.



I personally feel people would not waste the amount of food they waste today. Knowing that an animal died, as you actually looked into his/her eyes when that animal took its last breath would give you an appreciation for life and the ultimate sacrifice that the animal made.

You were in a kill or be killed situation.



Domesticated animals trust humans and are pretty much helpless and depend on us for their care.
