How is a cow not a vegetable?

True story from my dad.

He went to buy a dragster from a guy that owned three cows. He took his best friend's son along with him to see the Pacific Ocean (they were from Minnesota at the time) and my dad's friend's son (Chris) asks the guy:

"What are their names?"

"Let's see. Hamburger, Sirloin, and Filet Mignon."

Chris sat there stone-faced, turned around, walked back to my dad's truck, got in the passenger seat and was silent for the next 5 hours.
 
3 years huh? thats pretty long, and im sorry your mortified by a cow being slaughtered

did the cow really cause you to stop eating meat?

not hating on the whole vegan/vegetarian thing its just i love (and i know this is gonna come back to me in some way) eating meat, ture you dont need it to be strong, but its all a part of my physiology
 
I work on a dairy farm, I don't feel bad at al for them after cleaning up after them for two years
 
I was incredibly high.I was eating rice, thinking "If all I ever ate was rice, I would essentially BE rice..."A lot of people took this seriously though, wow.
 
I get your logic, it makes perfect sense to me. I would be agreeing with you, but grass is not a vegetable, so therefore you fail miserably.
 
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I saw this cow everyday almost for over a year, it was the only brown cow. I'd feed it bread and scratch its ears and it'd lick my hand, then one day she wasn't there.

You love eating meat but would you raise, slaughter, cut up and clean a pig, cow, chicken etc in order to continue eating it?
 
I do that to deer I hunt. I just don't own cows, pigs, or chickens cause that is more expensive than paying for rifle rounds.
 
yes, yes i would.

i duck hunt, meaning i kill, clean and cook ducks and geese, all while I take measures in order to preserve the fowl population and keep it alive.

there is a difference between food and pets, and cow to me is food. if it was your "pet" i'm sorry for your loss, but i'm sure you realize that cows do 2 things for man: produce milk, and serve as the one of the largest meat sources in the world.

How old are you to be using wiki as a RELIABLE source?Im studying nutrition Ive written a way to fucking long paper on just corn it is a veg not a starch just like potatoes are a veg they just so happen to have alot of starch in them. and there is no way fucking way im sourcing it so dont ask.
 
Also a very low percentage of people on this site have ever even eaten a grass feed cow. However if we tested someones hair from this site who eat a typical America diet then we would find some corn in there not litteraly corn but we eat so much corn that it shows when testing hair.

 
Rice is a starch. Wheat is a starch. Potatoes and corn are vegetables despite the fact many people consider them a starch. You and me typically eat corn as a vegetable however if you just so happen to be an animal eating animal feed then yes it is a grain because it is a dried out seed that is then harvested(think wheat or rice).
Oh and all cereal grains are still technically vegetables. You sir are an idiot
 
because you aren't actually what you eat. thus, a cow is an animal with muscle and fat. we eat that, which is steak, a common meat, like pork, or lamb.
 
all my horticulture classes have told me there is no actual classification or definition of a vegetable. the fruit is made by the reproductive part of the plant to spread the seeds, but a vegetable is just some sort of produce that we define as a vegetable because we eat it and it's not a fruit. kinda goes back to the whole potato-starch issue, though roots are considered vegetative parts of the plant so maybe anything not classified as a fruit is a vegetable?
 
it's like that scene in metalocalypse when they're thinking of drinking bleach
"well, bleach is mostly water, and we're mostly water. Therefore we are bleach."

 
... unless they have no legs, which makes them ground beef.

Jeffrey Dahmer supposedly only ate gay vegetarians. What would that make him?
 
Not hating at all, I'm just curious because I don't understand the whole "i don't want to kill an animal" idea. I understand that meat production is the single biggest greenhouse gas output but i think that can be fixed. Why do you not think it's OK to kill an animal when there's thousands of carnivorous species that kill other animals everyday. In my eyes, there's no difference from an animal growing up in the wild and getting killed by a carnivore to one growing up in a pasture and getting killed by a carnivore.

Clever, kitty.

I had a delicious steak today and could not be more satisfied with my recent enlightenment to the fact that I eat vegetarian on many nights.
