When I was little, I believed that hamburger and steaks and pretty much all meat in general came from a cow. Only, I believed that somehow the cow chose to give it away, kind of like milking a cow, only a lot more friendly and fairytale like. I think that I even had an image in my head of a cow talking to a farmer, saying "Ok, you can take a little off my belly for hamburgers today". I thought cows were so thoughtfull; and I cried when I found out that that's not how it works. Strangely enough, I'm a vegetarian now...
