Mark Zuckerberg leaned Chinese last year. This year Mark Zuckerberg is
pursuing a new “personal challenge”, when he’s not busy connecting
people across the world. Its about food. Mark Zuckerberg only eats
what he kills. It includes a lobster, chicken, pig and a goat.
Zuckerberg even posted a message on his private Facebook page on May 4
saying:
“I just killed a pig and a goat.”
Mark takes a personal challenge each year (in 2009, he wore a tie
every day), and this year is about animals and meat.
“This year I’ve basically become a vegetarian since the only meat
I’m eating is from animals I’ve killed myself,” Zuckerberg wrote in an
email to Fortune.
He told Fortune in an email that:
I spend almost all of my time building Facebook, so these personal
challenges are all things I wouldn’t normally have the chance to do if
I didn’t take the time. Last year, for example, my personal challenge
was to learn Chinese. I blocked out an hour every day to study and it
has been an amazing experience so far. I’ve always found learning new
languages challenging, so I wanted to jump in and try to learn a hard
one. It has been a very humbling experience. With language, there’s no
way to just “figure it out” like you can with other problems — you
just need to practice and practice. The experience of learning
Mandarin has also led me to travel to China, learn about its culture
and history, and meet a lot of new interesting people
This year, my personal challenge is around being thankful for the
food I have to eat. I think many people forget that a living being has
to die for you to eat meat, so my goal revolves around not letting
myself forget that and being thankful for what I have. This year I’ve
basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I’m eating is from
animals I’ve killed myself. So far, this has been a good experience.
I’m eating a lot healthier foods and I’ve learned a lot about
sustainable farming and raising of animals.
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 loved eating
pork, they really didn’t want to think about the fact that the pig
used to be alive. That just seemed irresponsible to me. I don’t have
an issue with anything people choose to eat, but I do think they
should take responsibility and be thankful for what they eat rather
than trying to ignore where it came from.
