Mark Zuckerberg Kills His Own Meat.

In a revelation reminiscent of elephant killing GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons, Mark Zuckerberg told Forbes that he will only eat animals that he kills himself.

Zuckerberg is not an avid or successful hunter so he admits that he is “basically vegetarian.” However, he has already killed a pig, goat, and a chicken by going to California “kill your own animal” farms. Friend and chef Jesse Cool recalls the time Zuckerberg even “cut the throat of a goat with a knife.”

The Facebook founder says this change in diet is part of a personal journey to create a more “sustainable” diet where he understands the value of his food. He tells Forbes:

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 enjoyed eating pork, they really didn’t want to think about the fact that the pig used to be alive. It just seems irresponsible to me.

Kudos to Mark for not wanting to pay other people to do his dirty work for him. Hopefully having to look every animal in the eye before he takes a bite will make him turn from being “basically vegetarian” to full-on vegan over the course of his “personal journey.”

I still find the whole thing quite bizzarre.
