[List Goddess] If one day the mega-fast-food-chain McDonald's suddenly
stopped serving meat, what do you think would happen to their McHappy
Corporation? Would it crumble or would it prosper?
[Hermit] My Dear Lady Z, pardon me for taking issue with you, but I suspect
that [i]only[/i] somebody deprived of meat for a very long period, or else
suffering under severe sensory limitations (texture alone should provide a
"klue," even to somebody who regularly drinks battery acid), could possibly
imagine that the reconstituted cardboard served by McDonald's, sandwiched
between something related to slices of foam rubber*, is derived in any way,
shape or form to products of the animal kingdom. I sometimes suspect that
the only life form ever permitted to be embraced by their colorful packaging
(which is almost as tasteless as the content) are the less appealing
families of bacteria.
[Hermit] To allege that this product should be termed "meat" is as if you
had suggested that there was no real difference between fucking and
masturbation - a difference I would suggest is smaller that that which
exists between McDonald's "meat" and that which derives from a living,
breathing organism.
[Hermit] So, I'd suggest that your argument fails. The last term McDonald's
risked serving "real meat" was probably about the time they got caught
supplying kangaroo instead of cow, back in the early eighties.
Kindest Regards
Hermit
*A product which despite being called a "bun" in their marketing material,
owes nothing to the wheat farmer.
