I'm raising a dangerous carnivore in the house, a la "Little Shop of Horrors."
The really scary thing is, the package--not a bristling, grizzled be-fanged maw with the requisite limbs to move the appetite from point A to point B--but a cute little 20 month old human girl. My daughter, Heather, says perhaps 6 words distinctly: Mom, doggy, daddy, drink, no, yeah (roughly in that order). There are other half words, less distinct, at least to us, stuff like a word she has for cracker, or cookie, milk, etc. She's adding more daily at this point.
Well, we gave her some meat, (calling it "meat,") and she just kept saying "meat meat meat meat meat..." I can ask her any number of situational questions that she can answer (are you hungy/thirsty,etc do you want to go outside, play, etc), and she just says 'yeah' or 'no'. But when the topic of meat came up, it's all "meat meat meat meat meat..."
She's had meat in stuff as an ingredient before, but now I can give her just about any meat by itself and she loves it. I've since fed her lamb, turkey, ham, sausage, bacon, hamburger, chicken, all sorts of lunch meat, hot dogs, just about every bird or quadruped comonly eaten today. Her recent faves are chicken and Gyro meat (lamb/beef mix) and tomatoes.
She's getting bigger, and her appetite grows daily...she continues to feed ravenously...Ya have to keep fingers and toes away from her near feedin' times...

aren't they always right? Guess I'll just have to go to the Pic-A-Lilly ( oops, local watering hole) for dinner.
