Question of the week

I asked Billy, ”Every time you go to a fast food restaurant, how do you feel about eating the leftover parts of a cow?” Billy said, “I feel disgusted but it would be resourceful because of the people who waste the meat they don’t like. If people keep wasting, we won’t have very many animals left to eat.” Then he said, “We will have to eat vegetables and we won’t get our protein. We won’t live healthy lives.” Then I asked, “What are your favorite fast food restaurants, and are you still going to go to them?” He said, “I don’t have a favorite fast food place but I will occasionally go to fast food places.”
