... In Washington under Trump even so rudimentary an activity as eating has become politicized, weighted with aesthetic and class significance, put under the jurisdiction of social arbiters who declare what is woke and what is haram. “Actually, How Donald Trump Eats His Steak Matters,” proclaims a contributor to Eater.com. “The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.” But why is it a problem, Eater.com? Why should so trivial a detail impress itself on the average person’s consciousness for even a microsecond? Aren’t there far more important subjects that warrant reflection and criticism and debate: health care, trade and tax policy, missile threats, the men and women dropping dead from heroin? ...

From Texas: Land of Cattle and steak for every meal.
Eat it fixed how you like it.
Everyone else, especially the pinch nosed foodies, can take a hike.
Except that eating steak well-done with ketchup is morally, ethically--and with metaphysical certainty--WRONG.
I take my steaks medium with ketchup.
This is big news! A huge concession!
The left is retreating on eating steak!
“You got that right. See, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.”

What I find so delightful about Trump is, when confronted with rank stupidity such as scorn over ketchup on steak, he just says, “Oh really?” - and dabs on a little more!
I like my steak medium, with sautéed mushrooms, and steak sauce on the side, if I feel like dipping. Don’t care how anyone else prefers steak.
I worked in a restaurant once and we would rarely throw “spoiled” steaks away. We would save those cuts for those that ordered it “well done” as they would never tell the difference. And I don’t think we ever got a complaint.

Carcinogenic Compounds in Cooked Meat
Heterocyclic Amines
HCAs, a family of mutagenic compounds, are produced during the cooking process of many animal products, including chicken, beef, pork, and fish. Even meat that is cooked under normal grilling, frying, or oven-broiling may contain significant quantities of these mutagens.6,7,8 The longer and hotter the meat is cooked, the more these compounds form. In some studies, grilled chicken has formed higher concentrations of these cancer-causing substances than other types of cooked meat.9
The major classes of heterocyclic amines include amino-imidazo-quinolines, or amino-imidazo-quinoxalines (collectively called IQ-type compounds), and amino-imidazo-pyridines such as PhIP. IQ-type compounds and PhIP are formed from creatine or creatinine, specific amino acids, and sugars.10 All meats (including fish) are high in creatine, and HCA formation is greatest when cooking meat at high temperatures, as is most common with grilling or frying. Consumption of well-done meat and PhIP has been associated with increased risk of breast cancer and colon cancer, as discussed in greater detail below. A recent case-control study at the University of Utah that included 952 subjects with rectal cancer and 1205 controls found that men and women with the highest consumption of processed or well-cooked meat had an increased risk of rectal cancer.11
My Dad grew up on an eastern Oregon ranch. He always eat his steak well done. When his family lost the ranch in the Depression, he went mining but kept his taste for big breakfasts and well done meat.

I think J.C. an L.G. should launch a full scale investigation into this matter.
I once had a crush on a girl that was seriously jarred on the first date when she ordered a well hamburger. The crush was over on the second date when she ordered a well done steak, then proceeded to send it back because it wasn’t burnt enough.
Trump is unique among Presidents because he's the only President who has had idiosyncrasies. Interesting.
I began to eat steak tartar in Madagascar at about the same time I began relishing escargot. It’s amazing to me the French can walk upright with all the parasites in their bodies.
Oh, and if the pussy-hat wearing metro sexuals on the old sea coast don't like it, they are free to KMA.
