The Horses are the Problem



I suppose it's not really a conversation when only one person is talking. See if you can follow the logic of the following (told to me by a person who believes that the human body has evolved to solely consume red meat, preferably raw):

The Guy: See, the rich people in this country hate the fact that middle class people can afford horses for their daughters, so what they're doing is shutting down all the horse slaughter houses. That's gonna cut the horse population in this country by three quarters, which will drive up horse prices so high that middle class people won't be able to afford them. Then the rich people's daughters will feel more privileged.

Me: ........

The Guy: See, most people don't take economics.

Me: ........uh.......

That shit is true. You can't make shit like that up. There's a 1/2 hour version of the story that I'll tell you if you ask me about it. It was completely fucking nuts. Also, he claimed that all the nutrients your body needs are found in beef, that nothing edible grows in the rain forest for six months a year, and that vegetarians are responsible for more deaths than anyone else in history.
