Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent an email to CNN’s Fortune blog about his new healthier eating habits, which now include killing animals himself for the meat he consumes. His letter reads:
This year, my personal challenge is around being thankful for the food I have to eat. I think many people forget that a living being has to die for you to eat meat, so my goal revolves around not letting myself forget that and being thankful for what I have. This year I’ve basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I’m eating is from animals I’ve killed myself. So far, this has been a good experience. I’m eating a lot healthier foods and I’ve learned a lot about sustainable farming and raising of animals.
I started thinking about this last year when I had a pig roast at my house. A bunch of people told me that even though they loved eating pork, they really didn’t want to think about the fact that the pig used to be alive. That just seemed irresponsible to me. I don’t have an issue with anything people choose to eat, but I do think they should take responsibility and be thankful for what they eat rather than trying to ignore where it came from.
Interesting!

That’s a different way of looking at it.
agreed
Does this mean he is going to eat Myspace? hahahaha i went there!
when you have billons you have the time and resources to source your own food manually. Realize that healthy eating is a luxury most of aren’t afforded. Cool personal goal though must be nice -no sarcasm-.
healthy eating is within almost everyone’s budget. in the US if you can afford to eat anything you can afford to eat healthy. if you can’t afford to eat, there are social programs for that so what you’re saying is not accurate.
You just contradicted yourself…. have you taken a look at the ingredients for the CHEESE in social programs? Right.
Eating healthy is a luxury, most people eat the way they do because it’s cheaper to do so.
shut the fuck up idiot.
i did not contradict myself. social programs for people who can’t afford food includes ebt and food stamps – and they have strict guidelines on what you can buy and what you can’t. only whole grain cereals, no soft drinks or sugar based drinks, etc. whole grain breads, etc.
and dollar for dollar you can eat healthy on a budget. the only issue is that fresh fruits and vegetables are perishable – so it requires frequent shopping – which reduces bulk savings. that is easily offset by buying frozen.
only a fucking idiot would say i contradicted myself by looking at the “cheese” in social programs. I actually have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. must be old head shit.
for people who don’t eat healthy they use the budget rationale as an excuse to be fat fucks.
good luck with that.
“frequent shopping for perishables… reduces bulk savings.”
ie you are spending more for shit that will go bad and you have to eventually throw away… yet frozen lasts longer.
sounds like a contradiction dude
also there is a time factor in food preparation. zucks has a personal chef and probably a nutritionist on his payroll. I work and cook for myself although it is doable to make a gourmet dinner once in a while it is a rarity and considerably more effort.
i hate having to explain things to idiots. because even when you explain it – they still misunderstand.
i said the only knock against healthy eating is that fruits and vegetables are perishables – which prohibits bulk buying which obviates cost savings.
then I said this is easily fixed by buying frozen or buying fresh in bulk and freezing the extra for use later.
so i pointed out the only real knock against eating healthier and then i proposed the solution to it. Do you understand now or should i type slower?
time factor is the lamest excuse. gourmet dinner???? – who said anything about gourmet, homo? who the fuck even uses that word?
I never said gourmet – i said eating healthy at competitive prices to eating unhealthy.
I’ll kill the time factor with two words.
One word: wok.
second word: salads.
dunzo.
lame excuses come from lames. your excuses are pathetic.
Maybe he likes killing animals
Who would say no to a party at Zuckerberg’s house? Facebook aint worth shiyt.
Up in his billion dollar high horse
After I watched the social network bootleg whenever I see this cracka I get pissed off! I believe the movie portrayed this cracka perfectly.
