Feeling Upset? Look At Some Meat
Meshach writes "A study out of Canada claims that seeing meat actually calms a person down. From the article: 'Contrary to expectations, a McGill University researcher has discovered that seeing meat makes people significantly less aggressive. Frank Kachanoff, who studies evolution at the university’s department of psychology, had initially thought the presence of meat would provoke bloodlust, believing the response would have helped our primate ancestors hunt. But in fact, his research showed the reverse is true.'" I can see all the "Make Steak, Not War!" protest signs already.

Secretly, you eat half of it, and that gives you the strength to feign indignation. It's OK, we're all friends here - you can be honest.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Strange, I once found a piece of broccoli and tofu in my meat, and had the same reaction.
It makes you feel relevant because you have a steak in your future.
