Point - Counterpoint: Volume I

This is the first in a series in which international experts are invited to share insights on today's most pressing issues. Feel free to leave a comment to keep the conversation going.

Reptiles As Food

Point-
By Rogers Hammerstein
I generally take a stance against them, except in one specific case; when they are to be used as food. Personally, I think eating chicken is weird. You wouldn't eat a pigeon would you? Time to study for the SAT's- mouse is to pigeon as rat is to......

Plus it is a scientific fact that reptile meat includes a variety of antivitamins. Antivitamins are mega vitamins that are only effective on super intelligent beings like geoscientists and Bill Cosby. Reptile meat contains zero regular vitamins, which is actually good because vitamins are actually a way for Sarah Palin and evil republicans to control your mind and make you hate the environment.

Have you ever tasted gila monster tettrazinni, gharial gumbo, two-toed worm lizard parmesan? If not, it is likely you have never visited La Paz or Sri Lanka.

Surely this must be the topic of your paper, or you would not pause to post such hilarious absurdities.

But since you brought it up, and since I'm not busy at all, I'm going to have to agree with the point, and link readers to this book that I covet:

Or check it out on googlebooks for free recipes.

The major problem is the Republicans. The have this corrupt anti-Reptilian agenda, because they are in the pockets of Big Mammal and Big Amphibian. In a perfect world, everyone would consume massive amounts of snake, cabbage with eating only the occasional rat.
