Butter’s Better
I have always been a little leery of the Hindu practice of keeping cows sacred until today. I realized that salted butter is one of mankind’s greatest inventions. I totally get it now.
Well played, Hindus. Well played. (Although in complete honesty, I still think the factory is tasty and will continue to eat beef, no offense intended.)
Once read an interesting sociological history of how this occurred. Since they were the draft animals they are required to plant… Famine occurred, people ate most cows… No draft animals to plant. A self reinforcing cycle sets in, famine continues and worsens year after year. Ruler bans eating cows… cycle is broken.
For obvious reasons, this history of what happened is none too popular. People prefer various myths.
