DAILY SHVITZ

Self-Righteous Vegetarians Rule Jewcy

Michael Weiss
How does one deal with the problems presented by packing so many helpless creatures into tiny adjacent stalls that they create a mountain of shit so impossibly vast and putrid that it causes an international incident?

Asks an indignant Joey Kurtzman about the dread Manhattan real estate market. Kidding. He's talking about Israeli cow quarantines, and Tahl's sister and Elisa pile on like we're all in an editorial meeting or Moby-led seder in Lolita or something.

Gotta run. Double bacon cheeseburger awaits.

What I loved about the exchange was that at no point in time did it address the actual problem -- if everyone living in Israel stopped eating dead cow tomorrow, that pile o' poo isn't going anywhere. Might smell a little nicer after it'd been drying a couple of days, but moo dookie just gets crunchy on the outside when it dries, leaving the inside creamy or chewy at best.

Which brings me to my own solution to the problem, which would be to package it up and market it as a meat-substitute to vegetarians.

When every human being is treated with a modicum of decency and respect for their well being, I'll start feeling guilty about my food, `kay? Until then, the only reason I don't eat people is that they're a bitch to poach.
