If you don't slaughter the cows, how do you make them into hamburgers?
but curiously, i just read a letter to the editor of Natural History magazine about cows-- how cows set up informal baby sitting arrangements.. so the mother can graze-- and that low status cows have more babysitting chores,and less free time-- they have to eat and run. (The letter writter said this was true for Texas cows.. and i don't know enough about cows to know if its true for other cows.)

When cows get too old to calve again, or milk production is inadequate, or they get sick, they get turned into hotdogs. Yum,Yum.

If you don't slaughter the cows, how do you make them into hamburgers?I got into a mental tailspin about the fact that, usually, beef cattle are actually steers, not cows. Cows are used for diary and breeding. But then, it occurred to me that there were unfortunate cow slaughterings occurring in Europe because of hoof and mouth and mad cow disease. But then, I thought, oh, those are unusual exceptions and people won't get hung up on that. Or will they... And so I proceeded down my mental vortex, which is when, instead of trying to sum it all up, I just asked why I had even started down the cow path ... [you asked emoticon]

Last I heard hotdogs were pig, or more or less turkey now.

Well you gotta have *some cows or you won't have little baby bulls (bullets?) to make the steers out of.

Low priced hotdogs have very unappetising things in them Lungs, all the glands, intestines and worse. Any kind of meat whatsoever. Again I say, Yum,Yum. Strong sarcasm emoticon.

Not everybody knows what "kosher" means. I took violin lessons with a couple Jewish boys. Once when it was their turn to drive, they stopped at a delicatessen, and came out with some meat wrapped in brown paper with large Hebrew printed words on it. I asked what the printing meant, and the older boy said "That means it's kosher." I asked again, "What does kosher mean?" He replied: "That means it's meat the rabbi has pissed on." So I had to wait until I got home and looked it up in the dictionary.

Hey, Cincinnati is Porkopolis. Hence my question: do you have kosher hot dogs there? [beating a dead steer]
