Man Eats Only Roadkill For 30 Years.

A man in the UK has found a way to eat meat everyday while maintaining a tiny ecological footprint, swearing off factory farms and eating roadkill instead.

Johnathan McGowan has lived off eating roadkill for over 30 years. He is a professional taxidermist who has been collecting and eating dead animals off the road since he was 14-years old. He scours the highways looking for freshly killed animals, taking care to make sure they weren’t poisoned before he cooks them up. He has come up with an entire collection of recipes, his favorite of which being owl curry and rat stir fry.

McGowan turned to eating roadkill when he saw the way animals are treated on factory farms. “I was also used to going to the cattle market where the treatment of the animals by the farmers was grotesque. I wasn’t happy about what I saw at all” he told the Daily Mail. If a guy who eats roadkill thinks factory farming is grotesque, you know the industry is seriously messed up.

I can’t help but wonder why he would go to all this trouble when he could just avoid meat all together.
