Steak, Your Life On It!
Oh, dear! Now they’re telling us again that eating meat which has been “charred” is bad for us!
If the cave man had only known not to cook that dinosaur steak over an open flame, charring it to perfection, he might have lived another year or two (if he managed to not become sushi for the T-Rex, that is!)
The cowboys out on the range may not have eaten steak, (not wanting to alarm the cows they were herding), but I’m sure they cooked more than beans over that camp fire. A nice wild rabbit or maybe even a deer would have tasted great while out there on the trail.
Grandma and Grandpa were a little more modernized, but they still cooked some of their meat over the open flame in the fireplace, and these days you can’t get thru the summer without firing up the BBQ grill or the smoker.
Man has always craved his meat with a little charring, so why stop now! I don’t think it’s the fault of the meat ~ more likely it’s the fault of the chemicals that are in your lighter fluid and in the charcoal itself.
Here’s the thing ~ we’re all going to die of something~ it’s inevitable. They (the mysterious scientists who have nothing better to do) warn us each day of something new that is bad for us to eat or drink. I think it’s a conspiracy begun by the people in Hollywood, who seem to want us all to believe that God meant for us to look like sticks with beautiful hair and white teeth.
Therefore, as I must someday leave this confusing world behind, I personally will go with the memory of charred meat, coffee with lots of caffiene, peanut butter, McDonald’s french fries; and clutching my last deep fried Twinkie in my old, cold hands.
