during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
And remember, if you don't want to, you don't have to go vegetarian
everyday, but in this day of "agri-business", "factory farming",
"E.coli outbreaks", and "industrial agriculture pollution", there's
a lot to be said about building a better body without meat.
