Beef Semester


The cow is revered because the largely pastoral Vedic people and subsequent generations relied so heavily on the cow for dairy products, tilling of fields and cow dung as a source of fuel and a fertiliser that its status as a 'caretaker' led to identifying it as an almost maternal figure (so the term gau mata).

Today, in heavily Hindu nations like India and Nepal, bovine milk continues to hold a central place in religious rituals. In honour of their exalted status, cows often roam free. In some places, it is considered good luck to give one a snack, or fruit before breakfast. In places where there is a ban on cow slaughter, a citizen can be sent to jail for killing or injuring a cow.
With injunctions against eating the cow, a system evolved where only the shit of society fed on dead cows and treated their leather.

It also seems that indulging in cow meat turns you into a fat fuck, like some Asians I know. In fact, it is very rare to see a fat Asian, but one in particular who relishes beef, and has even tried to force others to eat it, has really become rotund.

Also, from experience, those that eat beef tend to always be having bad luck. Which would explain why this strangely fat Asian is now working at Curtin University.
