"Hi, my name is Greg, and I'm a fleshoholic."

"Hi Greg!"

"It's been almost four hours since my last taste of flesh.
Already, I'm thinking about a couple of porkchops I have stashed at home.
Man, I just know how succulent those chops are gonna be when I sink my teeth..."

[understanding nods and voices of empathy from the crowd]

"My wife, Buddha, Gandhi, and Einstein all say I have a problem, but I'm not sure.
I mean, just because animals are our brothers and have feelings,
and just because they dont deserve to be caged and slaughtered..."

[Greg starts to break-down.]

[sobbing] "Oh, who am I kidding?! I'm a monster! A cannibal!!"

[someone pats Greg on the back.]

"It's okay, Greg. We know. We've all been there. The succulent chops, the juicy ribs."

"They fall right off the bone!"

"I know, Greg, I know."

"Help me! You've got to help me! I can't stop! My thirst for blood is unending!"

"There there, Greg, there there.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step, and the hardest.
You've taken that step, and nothing can take it away from you now."

[Greg cries into his hands. Crowd applauds.]

[woman stands]

"Hi, my name is Marsha, and I'm a fleshoholic."

"Hi Marsha!"

It's on my short list now, Yin.

"The everyday horrors of factory farming are evoked so vividly, and the case against the people who run the system presented so convincingly, that anyone who, after reading Foer's book, continues to consume the industry's products must be without a heart, or impervious to reason, or both."
(-J.M. Coetzee )
