I did a quick check on Google translate and it looks like Norwegian follows the German method of naming meat. Storfekjøtt og svinekjøtt mean cattle meat and pig meat.

Meat comes from styrofoam. I thought everyone knew that.

What ridiculous nonsense-what do they eat in Norway if not meat? It is too damn cold to grow most of the veggies we have here...

I live in the country and was brought up on my family’s small working ranch-I’ve helped with plucking, gutting and butchering from an early age-dead chickens, pigs and cows are still delicious-and I have fresh-killed spinach and a chicken I bartered with a neighbor for to put on the grill right now-it was walking around just yesterday-yummy...

The French use the same word for “beef” and “bullock”. Are they vegetarians?

Apart from that, the authors seem to confuse squeamishness with moral insight.

Already by referring to what we eat as "beef" instead of "cow," we have created a distance between our food and an animal with abilities to think and feel.

Bullshit.

Beef == le boeuf == bullock or steer (the animal from which the meat comes) in French.

Pork == le porc = pig in French.

Chicken? Duck? Goose? Lamb?

Mutton == le mouton == sheep in French.

The author is simply wrong.

For the love of algore.

Beef is the edible part of the cow, cow is the entire thing, bones, hooves and hide. Pork is the edible part of the pig, mutton is the edible part of the sheep and so on and so forth.

>> “ psychology has gone even deeper into what used to be philosophy, that’s all....” <<

But then every PhD awarded claims only to be for the “philosophy,” not the empiricity of the particular realm.

Who needs facts when philosophy will do?

I eat steer, not cow, specifically white-faced Black Angus steer. His name was George. George is tasty. Cows are for milking and making steers, and the older ones are only good to be ground up for burger. Steers are better for eatin'.

Pig strips... Thin crunchy pig strips with aborted fowl in the morning is as yummy as it gets and frankly, I could care less what they call it... I’m eating my pig strips and aborted fowl. Later on, I’ll have me some cow in steak format, or maybe some ground up innards in cylindrical shape with some mustard on top. Food is yummy, meat is yummy... Alpalpha sprouts are cow food. The cow eats the sprouts and then we eat the cow... That’s how I get my veggies.

English is strange. Because of the Norman invasion you have a lot of old English words for the animals raised by peasant farmers and old French words for the meat.

Brought up wrong and trained to do worse.

With Bill and Hill, Webb Hubbell's daughter Chelsea was doomed from the start.

“...by referring to what we eat as “beef” instead of “cow,” “

This comes from the snobbery of the Normans after they took over England. The Normans were Frenchified Vikings. Someone explained it thusly: On a plate on a table with a glass of wine, food was referred to by its French name: beef, mutton, poultry. Standing in a field covered with sh!t, it was called cow, sheep, chicken.

old French words for the meat.

But in the French, the words mean both the animal and the meat from it. So the peasants who raised the animals used Saxon words, and the Froggish nobility who ate it used the French words.

That’s how we get cowboys and not beefboys.
