Where's the Beef?

Apparently the new definition of "vegetarian" is a person who doesn't eat red meat. Because chicken and fish? Totally not meat.

Well, the definition has become more relaxed in recent years, like what constitutes "sex."

Or "work."

They must be of the ilk that think "meat" is synonymous with beef. This is one of my personal peeves.

During that whole mad cow scare I took a brief break from beef and when it was over, my taste buds decided it should be a permanent one. Since then people I know have often commented "oh, I forgot you don't eat meat" when I ask if something has beef in it. Then when I say, "no I just don't like beef but eat other kinds of meat" they get all huffy and say "well that's what I meant".

Whatever ...

mtlm: Liar. You don't eat pork either, unless it is bacon.
