Mark Zuckerberg Will Only Eat Animals He Personally Kills

Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg has taken on a challenge to only eat meat from an animal that he has personally killed. The 27-year-old billionaire says the "vow is all part of an annual challenge to learn about the world, expand my interests and teach myself greater discipline.”
“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.”
So far, Zuckerberg has killed goats, chickens, pigs, and lobsters.
