20. I saw Popozao and read Pozole
Mexican soup made with hominy, pork, and cow's stomachs.

Sounds disgusting but it's actually great.

4. Only if they're useless vegans.
No need turning plant calories into cow calories into people calories. That's just crazy!!

Besides, we taste better.

12. It's the great vegan conundrum...
Blood, being an animal product, shouldn't be used for such things. But then, nothing gets such perfect airtime and splatter formation as pure blood.

I need to write that one down.

15. Well, when we're not stopping important, life-saving scientific research like
the dissection of the brains of gay sheep (yes really) and killing puppies for fun, sometimes we fling animal products at people. As a matter of fact, I have an appointment to go fling hunks of gouda at people wearing leather shoes at three today. ;)

21. They asked farmers to donate any male sheep they observed humping other male sheep.
If I recall correctly. Then they tried to "fix" them with hormones and examined their brains.

14. K-Fed has no nutritional value. He's pretty much useless all the way around.

19. Human flesh is not fit for human consumption
being a top predator means we collect all the poisons, pesticides and carcinogens consumed by our prey. As a result, we could not (and have not) passed FDA guidelines.

Technically, our carcasses should be disposed of as bio-hazardous material, but social convention has ruled otherwise.

23. Exactly!
every link in the food chain concentrates fat soluble poisons by factor of 10.

Consider, then, that we eat salmon, tuna, bass, and trout, all of which are predatory fish. Salmon in particular is a predator of predators...

:scared:

24. No, I run those numbers once a year. They are a 3-day meat supply, at best.
YES, there are alot of them who serve no useful purpose,
and I honestly have no problem with eating them.

But the average "USELESS human" has only 1/20th the directly-consumable
biomass as the average cow, and is much harder to catch.

Not to mention that COWS almost never travel with armed
bodyguards.
Taking down a 120-lb K-fed will produce almost
750 lbs of fresh "bodyguard" as a by-product, on average.
And, frankly, the average "hollywood bodyguard" is so full
of chemical additives as to be almost inedible.
