Burn the meat and everyone is too polite to mention it. Burn the planet and it’s much the same. It’s enough to make you wonder what else you can get away with burning. I keep a box of matches in my bag just in case, wrapped up in plastic for when it rains. Since I have to eat the meat and live on the planet, I don’t get them out much. But I like to know that whatever else the world has to be, it doesn’t have to be cold or dark.
