Where’s The Beef

I can remember the commercials for Wendys a long time ago where the advertising slogan was, where's the beef. Today's advertising slogan is beef, it's whats for dinner. In <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/04/12/build/world/70-cubans.inc">Cuba </a>though it is the first slogan, not the second, that prevails on that island.<br />n<br />n<i>In communist Cuba, only the state is allowed to slaughter cattle and sell the meat. A citizen who kills a cow – even if he raises it himself – can get a 10-year prison sentence. Anyone who transports or sells a poached animal can get locked up for 8 years.</i><br />n<br />nI realize that my opinion is a little slanted on this issue, but I can't imagine not regularly having beef as part of my menu. They probably would have had to lock me up a while ago for killing a cow if I lived in Cuba. Maybe someday the trade embargo will be lifted against Cuba and people in that country can get the food they need. In the long run, one of the reasons a person is in the agricultural is that they want to feed people. In the long run, that's what it comes down to. Feeding people.<br />n<br />n<b>The meat of a cow tastes better no matter how you cook it. Salazar, a farmhand</b>
