I have a few friends who are Vegetarians.  They don’t really give me the “what for” about being a big old Carnivore.  Which I am. But every now and again, they will bring up a reason against the consumption of meat…. and of course…. the benefits of vegetables.    “Leaving a footprint” and all of that.  I know.  I know.  But I just have to have it.

Despite the fact that I love meat… I eat WAY more than the recommended daily dose of vegetables each day.  I like them every bit as much.   Steam up some cauliflower… or anything…. and I am one happy camper.  I truly like vegetables.  One and  all.

Anyway… back to the beef of this thing.   And pork, and chicken… and fish.

Mary and I decided it would be nice to get a half side of beef delivered to the house.  Again… who doesn’t love a cheeseburger on a Monday?  Just like Wimpy.  “I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today.”

So.  There you have it.

Just after I hung up the phone and ordered it from the Beef Guy… one of my Vegan friends called.  This time… she just simply said that she thought eating beef just “wasn’t good for you.”  Well…. I let it go.

The next day… Bob the Beef Guy drove to the house.  Low and behold… the Veggie Gods must have thrown down their broccoli spears….. and ran Bob right off the driveway.  Over the rocks he went… and almost into our pond.  Just five inches shy of six cylinders falling into seven feet of water.  You do the math.

He had to get a huge tow out of there, and was unable to bring the order to the house.  He said now… it might be another week or so.

It just goes to show you…. The meat truck  will take a long time to deliver because of the Jerky ride.

And….well….. maybe eating meat is bad for you after all.   Naaahhhhhh…..  I think it means that we should have asked for surf ‘n’ turf.
