LESSON? Everything is food for something else.
The "God said so" argument doesn't generally work so well around here, just FYI.

Actually, I think it's more akin to McNuggets. Grapes sound too wholesome.

It might have been more clear if I had quoted another line (or maybe not used a quote at all).
Obviously the last line - the main point of the story - wasn't "God says so." But the premise of the story was a conversation about what God allows, and why, according to the characters. And these characters opinions of God's intent is meaningless to me. When the premise misses, the point is lost.

Which is why most of us are grazing peacefully in the field.

I'm sorry. Let me try again:

A lady from the city and her traveling companion were riding the train through Texas when she noticed some cows.
"What a cute bunch of cows!" she remarked.
"Not a bunch, herd", her friend replied.
"Heard of what?"
"Herd of cows."
"Of course I've heard of cows."
"No, a cow herd."
"What do I care what a cow heard. I have no secrets to keep from a cow!"

*Thank you.*

What kind of milk comes from a forgetful cow?
Milk of Amnesia

*Oh please. You're too kind*

There were these two cows, chatting over the fence between their fields. The first cow said, "I tell you, this mad-cow-disease is really pretty scary. They say it is spreading fast; I heard it hit some cows down on the Johnson Farm." The other cow replies, "Hell, I ain't worried, it don't affect us ducks."

*Goodnight! You've been a lovely audience! Don't miss my next show on May 3rd at The Red Roper Lounge in Lubbock!*

so if something doesnt know its purpose we are allowed to eat it. the only people or things we cant eat are: buddah, jesus, mohammad, the dalai lama, freemasons, and cockroaches (who's only purpose is to survive the impending nuclear war).

i want the whole chicken/fish thing being okay explained to me.

it's still flesh, even if it's not technically called meat and it was still a living thing. i'm sure cows have done alot more damage to alot more people than chickens too.

don't kill a cow but kill a chicken? what's the point
