A lady at a tasting was lamenting how much she as a vegetarian missed a good steak. I told her as a former vegetarian that I could sympathize. I guess in an attempt to bridge the gap between meat salesman and vegetarian customer she asked if there was any way that I knew of that they could remove "just the steaks" from a cow "without killing them".
I felt sorry for her, and politely explained that the steaks were essentially the animals back muscles and that I doubt that once removed there would be a mechanical way for the animal to achieve locomotion, or support it's own weight. At that point I think we both agreed that this poor "steak-less" animal would be better off dead.
I also don't know how many times I've had to explain that we only milk female cows... and then anatomically why this is true. Here is a hint... it has to do with mammary glands.
