I mean, being serious, cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, fish.....etc....aren't like video games processed in a clean factory. They are living animals. When you eat "fillet mignon", you are not eating a processed industrial item. They skin a cow (etc.), probably after it is beheaded, whereupon (I love words like that) it is carefully disassembled into various cuts of product. I understand why people (I am one) find this (shitburgers) distasteful, but really, we butcher living, breathing, cutesy creatures by the millions every day the Earth completes a rotation, and we consider these things packaged items, much like pop (soda to some), video games (games to some), and chewing gum. And I'm all out of gum....I mean ideas.
Edit: So consider shit....it's what's for dinner. I only hope they can do something similar for Social Security, since I've been paying it since 1988 or something.
