When I was around 5 years old I became curious as to where foods came from and was still trying to process and accept that "meat" came from animals. One day while eating lunch I wondered where my hot dog came from and asked my mother. I fully expected her to say it grew on a tree in some far away land but to my shock and horror she told me "hot dogs come from cows." It made perfect sense - hot dogs were actually cow boobs (udders) - a cow has six udders and, in those days, hot dogs came in packs of six! Then I thought what a waste of life to kill a whole cow just for a single pack of hot dogs!!!
