I stopped eating almost any beef after discovering the cute cow gifs subreddit. They can be so puppy like! They're also huge methane machines and having fewer cows would be good for the environment.
On the other hand, I crave a good pot roast maybe once a year.
Edit: and I can name my mother's favorite childhood cow and the cow my grandpa let me name because we shared a birthday.
Cows when young are absolutely puppy like. We had a pet calf when I was a kid named Softy. My stepmom insisted we buy him and bring him home when we visited a rural county fair because he was so cute. He ended up thinking that he was one of our dogs for a while, even played fetch (poorly heh). Once he got big (and admittedly mean as hell), someone ended up stealing him from his pasture while we were away for the day. Poor Softy.
I unfortunately like beef too much. But I know the impact the meat industry has and try to reduce my intake. I was down to two meals with meat a month before I got a job that wouldn't let me be picky.
Maybe we should have a specific holiday like Thanksgiving but for cows. I vote for St Patrick's Day. Beyond meat and black beans are cool and good but you can pry corned beef out of my cold dead fingers.
I have a soft spot for cabbage food, so I'd happily celebrate St Patrick's with some corned beef cabbage rolls/gołąbki.
how about labor day or memorial day? they are typically good grilling/smoking/barbecue holidays, and i could throw on a brisket or something
We should eat snakes on St. Patricks.
