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.
I'm sure there won't be any dirty jokes made about this at all.
Will looking at some spinach put you into a rage then? It certainly seemed that way for Popeye.
Usually it isn't the asparagus that helps me feel better so much as the lady holding it.

and a teetotaler. Do you need more proof? :)
putting the 'B' in LGBTQ+
The article makes sense to me. Nothing like sitting down for a meal and being presented with a plate full of vegetables to send you into a rage. A nice roast turkey or the like, however, will have you thinking of little next to how much you're going to enjoy your meal.
WTF IS THIS SHI.....oh look at the pretty picture.....mmmm.......BBQ......what was I on about.....ah yes......why do I have to hate M$ so much? And apple closed source is actually good for the users....
I'm gonna go and open Facebook account now.
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 would explain why those PETA folks are always so pissed off.
