* God loves vegetarians

So, despite what most of my relatives inexplicably believe, I never went through that vegetarian phase; I never read The Jungle, never learned to cook with tofu, never stopped eating beef. However...

After listening to NPR this evening I have to admit:
Mad Cow Disease
Foot in Mouth (sheep)
Bird Flu (poultry)

Maybe God is trying to tell us we should stop eating animals. Or maybe, since there hasn't been any pig diseases, it's like the anti-Old Testament and pigs really aren't as unclean as we were made to believe. Either way, I am going to go along my merry way eating burgers and Thanksgiving turkey and ham and all the other delicious animals I regularly consume and ignore the signs, but it does make me wonder.
