"Next Time Think Of Me"... Die Cow Die!  

I've never been one to even consider becoming a vegetarian or vegan or 
whatever the hell they are called now-a-days. I have always enjoyed my 
hamburgers and tacos and other forms of meat. No, I don't care about all 
the so-called facts that I have been given on how bad eating meat can be. 
Just in case any of you think I'm too hateful towards veggie people, let me 
clarify that I have friends who are vegetarian and/or vegan and we get along 
just great. In the past couple of years though, I have noticed an increasing 
amount of "pain in the ass losers" whining more and more about meat. I 
was handed a pamphlet which on the cover read, "Vegetarianism: For Your 
Health. For the Environment. For the Animals."  

First of all, I DON'T CARE. Call me an a**hole or whatever other derogatory 
terms you find appropriate, but I don't care. There's so much pollution in this 
world, there's people smoking all around me, there's people doing all sorts 
of drugs and drinking their lives away. If I want to carve off a piece of cow 
and slurp it down, so be it. "Your killing harmless animals!" Well guess 
what?!?!? YOU ARE KILLING HARMLESS PLANTS! You need a reason 
for my eating the cows? Fine, I'll be more than happy to give you one. 
Plants provide us with one of the key elements we need to survive on: 
Oxygen. Cows, bastards that they are, eat quite a bunch of these plants, 
hence giving us less oxygen. Vegetarians eat even more of these plants, 
again, giving us less oxygen. So I say, not only should we eat the cows, but 
we should also eat some of these vegetarian extremists who scowl at us 
when they see us drink a glass of milk. If we do this, we will have much 
more oxygen and less whiny activists. NOW THAT'S HELPING THE 
ENVIRONMENT!  

I also don't care what some people claim meat does to my heart and body. 
Like I said before, all the pollution and second-hand smoke I get everyday 
is going to kill me (if not some idiot drunk driver). Why do you think I can't 
see myself raising a kid? Because, at some point I'd probably have to tell 
him, "Look kid, you are going to die. It probably wont even be your fault. 
You will die young. The world is getting worse and worse, so go grab 
yourself a cow and have fun while you can. MOO!" Besides, there's plenty 
of healthy people who eat meat all the time. Just look at some of the finest 
athletes in the world. Many of them have some form of meat with EVERY 
SINGLE MEAL they eat each day! Just think about having meat for 
breakfast! Instead of Wheaties, they'd need a cereal called "Meaties"! 
YEAH! Remember, Meat doesn't have the word "EAT" in it just by 
coincidence.  

I hate all these people that bug me about eating meat. Why can't people 
just eat what they want and not care about what others eat? That's why I 
love my friends that are vegetarians, they don't bug me and tell me "don't 
eat meat!" they just eat what they want and let me eat what I want. But 
noooooo! Quite often I find myself in huge arguments with people who are 
vegetarian or whatever and they get all worked up. The world would be 
such a better place if people these people would just mind their own 
business and not care what other people are eating. Also, what's the deal 
with these people actually getting in fights with other people because they 
eat meat?!? I mean come on, that's like me walking up to a complete 
stranger and saying, "Hey are those bugle boy jeans you are wearing?" 
(looks at me as if he is confused) "Why yes, yes they are." (angry) "WELL I 
HATE THEM! BUY FUCKING LEVI'S YOU LOSER!" then proceed to beat 
the hell out of him. Then again, I'm sure Levi jeans contribute to the 
slaughter of animals in some way or another right? Whatever...  

I mean come on, people are going to pretty much do what they want, it's 
pathetic to fight about crap like that. Here's another "fact" that came from 
the pamphlet I got, "75% of all federal poultry inspectors said they would not 
eat chicken." Well gee, there's a big surprise. Think about it, if you spent 
your whole life looking at dead poultry you wouldn't be to thrilled when you 
hear the wife go, "Oh honey! Guess what! We're having chicken for dinner 
again!" If you work at a fast food place, chances are you'd get sick of 
eating there too very fast. Here's a fact for ya: 75% of the people would 
also probably agree that they don't want to drink flower paste and rice 
cakes for the rest of their lives.  

I know I'm not going to live forever, and life totally sucks in more ways than 
any of us can count. I'll be damned if I'm not going to do whatever it takes to 
make me happy. While I'm on the topic of "the environment" as well, I have 
a question for you activists out there. What the hell ever happened to "Earth 
Day?" I remember a few years ago where people would be all pumped up. 
"Ok it's earth day! Kids, grab some hefty bags because we're going out 
until we can't see anymore and we're are going to pick up every last soda 
can, gum-wrapper, paper clip, and atom that might be harmful to our 
environment!" Now earth day, if people even remember when the hell it is, 
is treated more along the lines of "Hey Jed! That can you just threw out 
could have been recycled." (laughs) "Oh really, well damn, maybe next 
year...hey lets go buy some cans of that aerosol spray. I love the smell of 
that stuff mixed with the fresh air outside!" It's like the whole holiday (if you 
even considered it that) just vanished. I have pictures in my mind of the 
environment-conscious people from a few years ago sitting on their 
recycled-fabric couches thinking, "Damn, we really did waste our time. This 
world is going to fucking hell anyways isn't it?"  

If you were wondering why this article was called "Next Time Think of Me," it 
is because I saw a shirt that had a picture of a cow on it which on the front 
read, "Next Time Think of Me" and on the back it read, "Go Vegetarian." 
Well guess what, I thought it was pathetic of course, but I also decided to 
make my own shirt. My shirt is going to have a picture of a plant on it and it 
will read, "Next Time Think of Me," and on the back it will read, "Go 
Meatatarian." Actually, I just recently made a shirt that says "Save the 
Plants, Kill the Cows!" with "DiE-CoW-DiE" on the sleeves. I've written 
many things similar to this and my vegetarian friends laughed their asses 
off. See, that's cool when people can find humor in something that they 
don't particularly agree with. I wish everybody was able to laugh at 
themselves.  

Most of the time, however, I have to put up with losers getting all worked up 
about me being the sarcastic asshole that I am (I even get some death 
threats from time to time). I even had some people go to such immense 
"Loser Extremes" of spray painting "Go Vegan" on the road in front of my 
house at 4am. Now that's a way to drive something into a persons head! 
Spray paint something on the road in front of their house! Man, I tell you, as 
soon as I read that, I threw my burger on the ground and started munching 
on my front lawn. I suppose this requires me to go spray "Thanks" on the 
road in front of the house of whoever did it, right?  

Man, I can't wait for the great Thanksgiving feast to roll around. I must 
admit, it must be strange to be a vegetarian on that holiday. I mean, yer 
sitting there at the table, "Uhm, could you pass me the salad?" while you 
watch everyone else drowning their stuffed turkeys in a pool of gravy. I'd 
really like to know what goes through their heads at times like these. Still, 
this whole "bashing people for what they eat" is stupid anyway. EAT 
WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT, JUST DON'T TELL OTHERS WHAT 
THEY CAN OR CAN'T EAT. Actually, I would recommend telling certain 
people to eat some foods tainted with poison, but most people don't 
approve of my suggesting such things so I remain silent.  

Finally, for those of you wondering what this thing I call Meatatarianism 
really is, I will define it for you right here:  

Meatatarianism is a diet which avoids the consumption/harm of plants. A 
true Meatatarian is sickened by the thought of the "evil veggie people" 
munching on the dead plant carcasses. Just as vegetarianism is often 
confused with being a herbivore, people have told me that they thought 
meatatarianism was the same as being a carnivore. Well, we Meatatarians 
generally do eat the same stuff as carnivores do. But how many carnivores 
do you know of that go around protecting the rights of plants? I don't know 
any. If you have any other questions about the benefits of a Meatatarian 
diet, read the other articles found within these pages or feel free to email 
me.
