So last year after mad cow disease showed up, I was pretty pissed off. The beef industry had tried to sue Oprah over saying years ago that it was a very scary time to eat beef. Of course, she won. She is allowed to express her opinion. Of course, the best way to prove her wrong is to keep mad cow disease out of the US. Of course, in December of 2003 one showed up. We were told that it was from Canada. We were told that we still had nothing to worry about. We were told almost anything.
Of course, I decided that last year's new years resolution was to quit eating beef. I did a pretty good job I thought. I only ate beef knowingly 14 times. (You can't blame a brother when he doesn't know it.) Some of those times were times that I would end up getting foods that might have contained beef. I wasn't sure, but I counted them anyway.
This year, I decided to give the beef industry a break. I am eating beef one day a week. Typically, that day has been Saturday. Of course, I have been more generous than expected. I have been eating beef twice on Saturday. Yesterday, I ate at Sonic and Pawbowskys.
Pawbowskys is a hot dog joint here in the 'boro on Church Street. They have a hot dog called the Fire Dog. It has peppers cooked inside the dog and, if that wasn't enough, they put peppers and a spicy salsa on top of it. It's pretty dang good. If I eat two of them though, they burn on the way out.
Well, I had a Fire Dog, Kraut Dog, and some chili cheese fries. That will be my last beef meal this year. I am once again going bovitarian. I have been thinking about this since that Mad Cow came out a few weeks ago. I even waited for more news to come out about it. Of course, it never had a chance to enter the food chain. We have nothing to worry about. Yadda. Yadda. Yadda.
So I'm done for the year. No more beef. Except for August 13. I've got a family reunion to attend. The standard fare will be dogs and burgers. Then I will eat so that the family doesn't think me a s strange. That's it until next year.
Although, I have become recently aware of a company called Laura's Lean Beef. I might just start eating their beef. They do claim that they are not turning cows into cannibals. Of course, a way around that is to feed the cow parts to chickens, and then feed chicken parts to cows. Of course, Laura's Lean Beef feeds it's cows no animal parts. As a matter of fact, they don't even give their cows antibiotics or hormones. Seriously, go check out there site.
