A little creepy.
Unless the fish has Heterosporis. Then it, or at least parts of it, stop being meat.
I was thinking about posting a similar rant. Very true.
Crunchy?
Proof that if you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat most anything. Sort of like those Ham and Lima Beans c-rations. Or maybe even Dwarf Bread.
ninjas are meat too.
It actually turns out that beaver are fish.
So, are cucumbers fruit or vegetables?
What about the muscle of snakes and lizards, and other “evil” animals. Also meat?
tasty?
I was raised in a vegetarian household. In elementary school, other kids would try to argue that I shouldn’t be eating peanut butter or rice and beans because according to our textbook peanuts and beans were included in the “meat group” of the four food groups. (This was back before pyramids were invented, obviously!)
Not sure if you’re taking the piss here, or genuinely don’t know what he’s referring to, but it’s this, a fruit product that historically would have contained meat, but now usually doesn’t (for the definition of “meat” as “muscle of an animal”).
Also, all fruits are vegetables. A vegetable is any edible plant product, which includes leaves, stalks, fruits, roots, and tubers.
Besides that, mammals have extremely complex social structures. Humans insert themselves into those structures, often assuming the role of surrogate parents, then come along one day and slit their throats. Nutritionally sound if we keep out the nitrates & nitrites, but still; kind of a nasty way of getting ones protein.
OTOH, we sure argue a lot about what’s healthy to eat versus unhealthy, for a species whose ancestors’ idea of a square meal was whatever they could shoo the buzzards away from.
I’m sure there are people who argue that chicken isn’t meat in an asinine way, or that fish isn’t meat in an asinine way, but in the sentence “I don’t eat meat on Fridays” anyone with an ounce of knowledge about Christian culture knows that meat is used in a narrower sense than “muscle fibres of any member of the kingdom animalia”.
It’s language. Get over it.
Would Paul Lynde in a coma have been both a fruit and a vegetable?
Only if one is completely divorced from nature.
Both. Actually, all three.
Fruit, because they are the seed-bearing structure of the plant
Vegetables, because cooks, chefs and diners generally consider it to be so
Vegetable, because they are plants.
The OP does sort of have a point though - people seem to set rules for themselves (or accept rules being imposed upon them), then try hard to break the rules without actually breaking them - saying “yeah, but this doesn’t really count” is something humans just have a weakness for - whether it’s religious observance, a diet plan, or extramarital sex in the Oval Office.
Meat is murder!
Tasty, tasty murder…
