How about a 512 ounce squishy instead ...

But according to the law of karma, the cows have it coming, and I’m willing to do my part.
Out of my cold, petite Irish/Japanese hands will they deny me my Chipped Beef on Toast.
Isn’t the Hindu religion the one that holds cows as sacred? I would think that has more to do with their wish than global warming.
Yes -- that too! :^)
What really fries me are all these morons who argue about grain-fed beef and dairy critters, saying "We could use that same grain to feed millions more people!" NO, they coudln't use that same grain to feed people! If people tried to eat the same grain fed to livestock, which is grown on acreage not of the right soil or in the right climate/rainfall to profitably grow human-consumable crops, they'd die of malnutrition because they don't have four stomachs to process it! When I explained this to a vegan acquaintance, I remember the blank look on her face and then the light bulb went on ... DUH!!!! Even she saw that I spoke the truth; she shut up with that particular argument after that.
What am I going to do with my slow cooker pot roast that I made yesterday? ;)
Lets send 0 over there to apologize.
I’ll stop eating beef when Indians stop eating lentils.
It does sound perfectly yummy. :)
Indians flexing their sphincters?
Well, in Bollywood it does.
And why not ?
Back in the day this was common in our own entertainments.
And then the pretentious geeks took over.
So now the movies mostly belong to teenage boys.
“Shut up and pass me to tech support.”
oh, that was so wrong. I apologize.
Yes, you are entirely correct.
Yes of course it has more to do with religion than anything else.
But I give them points for making creative use of AGW for their prosletyzing purposes.
You can’t feed corn/soybeans etc. to people ?
I suppose if you were to strictly follow FDA guidelines for US distribution that may be true for some grains, but it certainly isn’t true in the third world, where human and animal feed grains are completely interchangable. Whole corn is whole corn to a Mexican peasant. You can feed it to your kids or you can feed it to your chickens.
Other items like some protein meals, cellulose like in hulls, etc. are not human edible. But this stuff is a minority of feed bulk.
Lentils go very well with pork or stew beef in the pressure cooker.
I have nothing against lentils. Nothing at all.
Those people just won't get even close to the same nutritional value out of it as grain of higher quality that would be wasted (and unprofitable) as livestock feed. The quality of soybeans, wheat, and corn used in livestock feed is nowhere near the quality of soy, wheat, and corn used for people, FDA guidelines aside. It has more to do with soil and climate, and the protein they can impart into the grain, than FDA guidelines -- this is what grain farmers have told me with regard to who they can sell to, and get the highest price for, their crops.
