As InstaPundit reminds us, Saturday, March 15th is International Eat an Animal for PETA Day.

Here in Houston, the best place I know of for getting in touch with your inner carnivore is Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian restaurant on Westheimer near Dunvale. Be warned, though, it's about $40 a plate, and they're always packed on weekends. (I understand they have restaurants in Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago as well.)

For myself though, I think I'll head out to a little barbecue place I know out in Fulshear, and bring back a couple of quarts of shredded beef to last me a while. It's been a long time since I've been to Dozier's, and I'm overdue.

Remember, the human race developed intelligence in order to become better hunters. As Larry Niven says, how smart do you have to be to sneak up on a leaf?
