  • NO COWS, MAN! [bluesy slide guitar]

    Duh duh duh da-da dah
    Dreamin 'bout some soymilk-banana shake
    Some nice tofu-burger bake
    Somethin else for my hunger to slake
    But I don't wanna eat no cow, man

    Duh duh duh da-da dah
    Loadin' up on powder at the health-food store
    Lecithin 'n' wheat-germ 'n'a whole bunch more
    That blue-green algae really makes me roar
    But I don't wanna eat no cow, man

    [bridge:]
    Pile up a buncha shallots'n'jalapenos
    On toppa some mashed avocado
    An' pile'em up with lotsa cilantro
    But get that ground beef 'way from me, man!

    Duh duh duh da-da dah
    I slaver for brown rice with vindaloo curry
    Zucchini and mushrooms, I never worry
    Yeah, shit like this, they don't serve in Missouri
    But I don't wanna eat no cow, man, no no



    VEGETABLES AND WATER AND DIRT AND SUN

    Think of cheap rum, and again, and again
    Think of an avacado as your friend

    [chorus:]
    And you'll know that good stuff can be done
    With vegetables and water and dirt and sun

    Think of adobe, you lazy shit (lazy shit)
    Think of the artichokes planted around it [chorus]

    Think of zucchini as sexual objects
    Think of run'n'cocoa-coated insects [chorus]

    Just finished reading Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser. I've heard various interviews with Schlosser lately. Scary and vivid stuff. McFood sickens and fattens and kills. McFoodBiz subverts democracy and promotes corruption, pollution, wasteage.. McFood workers are disposable proles, desperate suckers. Et cetera.

    Well, I've avoided McFood for years, but now I'm ready to change my diet even more. Almost any foodservice meat can come from diseased animals and/or contain potent drugs; almost any ground meat can contain shit. Real shit, loaded with microbes. Ground foods may also be laden with insects, metal or glass fragments, various chemicals and debris. Have another Happy Meal, eh?

    Now I don't think there's any moral basis for vegetarianism, but devouring meats and processed foods certainly isn't health-enhancing. The Japanese population is now going obese, an impossibility with their old diet of fish, vegetables, rice and soy products. Is it more moral to murder soybeans or mushrooms than to murder chickens or catfish or cattle? Why?

    Of course, humans didn't evolve to eat any modern high-fat, high-carbo­hydrate diet. When we weren't starving, we ate whatever animal flesh we could catch (verte­brate and inverte­brate - yeh, bugs and grubs too!); and whatever roots and tubers and fruits and nuts we could gather. And some­times we ate each other, espec­ially after we'd devoured just about every­thing else. I'm writing an essay on this, available soon.

    You may know of my BLAME-THE-ALIENS thesis: Reptil­ioid-Repub­lican ETs encou­rage indust­rialists to spew green­house gasses to modify Earth's climate to their liking; and they promote McFood to fatten-up we hapless humans as their food supply. So, are Global Warming and the Obesity Pandemic the result of alien intrigue, or just human greed and stupidity? YOU decide!


      LATEST SIGHTINGS:  

    "VEGETARIAN: A person who eats no animal life that can be seen without a microscope." —Anon.

    The beef-eaters of ancient India — It's the last sacred cow left in Sanskrit studies: the myth that beef wasn't eaten in ancient India. Hindus can now head for their local McDonald's. Want a prayer with that curry?

    Class action Lawsuit Filed Against Fast Food Industry — Want a class-action lawsuit with that burger? A New York City lawyer has filed suit against the 4 big fast-food firms, saying their fatty foods are responsible for his client’s obesity and related health problems. His client ate McFood steadily since the 1950's, believing it to be good for him. Right.

    Excuse me if i'm not happy — tuesday, july 16 "For the past 6 months, i've been trying to lose an extra 20 pounds (ok, more like 25 now) i've slowly picked up since i turned 30." Try breathatarianism.

    Should We All Be Vegetarians? — well, maybe — try this:
    "[using] a ruminant-pasture model of food production, which would replace poultry and pork production with beef, lamb and dairy products. According to his calculations, such a model would result in the deaths of 300 million fewer animals annually (counting both field animals and cattle) than would a completely vegan model."

    "London is full of chickens on electric spits, / Cooking in windows where the public pass. / This, say the chickens, is their Auschwitz, / And all poultry eaters are psychopaths." —Peter Porter

      Should We All Be Vegetarians?  

    Gosh, vegetarianism even makes the cover of TIME! And see what the Mad Cowboy reveals about the dreadful stuff that's fed to livestock -- are poultry fed the same crap? Maybe flesh-eaters should stick to cooking and eating aliens, eh?

    "Animal rights means recognizing that animals are living sentient creatures with interests of their own, not objects to be exploited by humans." Does this mean that animals, insects, bacteria et al don't have a right to eat humans? It's So Unnatural (When Plants Eat People), eh?

    The narcissism of vegetarianism: "Oh, I can't eat steak like the nine other people at the table! Not special old me! Make the waiter come back so I can grill him for 25 minutes on whether there's any chicken stock in the wax used to coat the cantaloupe!" Christopher Caldwell

      Weird Dogfood Ads From New Zealand  

    My Pet is a Six-Legged Cannibal — Many new-media offices and college dorms are homes to praying mantids and their keepers. The robot-like appearance and cannibalistic behavior are like geeks themselves.

    "When they ask for bread don't give them crackers as does the Church, and don't, like the State, tell them to eat cake. Explain that man cannot live by bread alone, and give them stones." —Nathanael West
