this is kinda funny, for the 1st month that i came 2 U.S., i refrained from consuming beef.there was a friend of our's who was a vegetarian. since you all know, it's hard 2 survice as vegetarians in U.S. ,our friend started eating meat.he even had beef.when we asked him why he was having beef, his reply was "if u gotta eat then why separate the cow? everything has life." that was it. i turned into a beef eater.gosh. but here they don't have anything like buff and beef as in nepal guys.be it buffalo or cow, both are termed "beef". but goys, i ain't eating dog or cat anytime in my life saying they have life too.lolz
