whats for dinner

Mom, we could have tasted horse meat from Paris! Before my son could complete, my wife asked.
What? Horse meat, Are you crazy? She was startled for a while. “If I can eat KFC, Burger King and Tesco, then why not a horse?“ He quipped, “Mom for your information, KFC is no more from Kentucky, again it is not fried instead pressure cooked and most importantly not a chicken at all.“ He was hinting on the latest scandal that KFC chicken genes have genetic materials which seemed to be from ostrich and some even from turtle or possibly snake! I tried to interfere and updated that KFC refuted the claim and their website states that they are still selling chickens.

Fine, then what about Burger King? He jumped to the next popular brand. Do you know that recently Horse DNA found in burgers supplied from an Irish plant? Yes.
I agreed. Tesco and Burger King last month reported that beef products supplied by an Irish firm contained horse DNA. Same time Burger King confirmed such affected burgers never reached any eateries.

Why do you want to be a non vegetarian? Biologically we are born as vegetarians so better remain as vegetarians, she advised. He then came up with a new theory to counter the argument. “See, if you look into the nature most of the herbivorous are born with a horn except few like horses and usually they fight using horns so that they never get a chance to taste blood.

Meanwhile the carnivorous use their sharp teeth to bite while fighting and get to taste blood. That's how they become carnivorous. I am born without a horn so I am supposed to be non-vegetarian!“ he claimed.
My brother backed him with much wider idea of killing bigger species because you need to kill only one to feed many instead of killing many to feed one! For me one of the main reasons for the extinction of some species is mainly because human beings never need them anymore. I am sure chicken will never extinct until man survives in this world. We need to find some alternative use for these species like elephants which are widely used in festivals and horses for racing. Allow pet lovers and tiger balm companies to tame tigers like what Buddhist monks do in Thailand.

When the debate was about to end, I noticed the news flash in Television that Iranian President claiming successful launch of a monkey into the space. The photo evidence provided by Iran caused confusion as to whether monkey did indeed make the journey.
They could have tried, one Cross river Gorilla instead of a monkey so that John McCain can get a better count. Being an animal lover I am happy that If Iran and other countries continue such tests, monkeys will be preserved for such experiments! Before moving to another debate, my hunger tempted to check with my wife what's up for dinner. She replied from kitchen in a funny way, One Javan Rhino soup, two plates Fried Sumatran tiger and a grilled golden headed langur! Is that OK for you?
