What’s Hip Hapnin?

I didn’t have any client meetings today so I am at home. In between phone calls I could hear Jenn up in the kitchen talking to Ashton giving him the play by play about what she is doing with some chicken. He is only two so she tries to keep his brain busy by describing everything. I think she is probably working on dinner, which is weird because it is still early and weirder still because I almost always do the cooking. Anyway as she was talking I started thinking how weird it is that Beef and Pork have lots of names, steak, hamburger, bacon, loin, etc. etc. when somebody asks what you are having for dinner you say “we are grilling up some steak want to come over?” But when we talk about Chicken we only refer to is as “chicken.” Nobody says “we are deep frying some thighs and Breasts…”

This of course led me to the bigger thought that this brain dump is about. It is really weird how far we have become separated from the production of our food. I would be a vegetarian for sure if I had to kill it before I eat it. Maybe that is the problem PETA has convincing people to eat soy. Eating meat is just too easy. If they could get a law passed where you could only sell whole chickens with the feathers I know we would never eat it again - that would just be too much work. So there you go PETA stop making me feel compassion for something that I have never seen and never will see and just use my laziness to your advantage.
