If you ate something 'gross' without knowing it and it wasn't bad, when you found out would you change your opinion of it being gross?

Isn't it often culture and context rather than actual taste that makes many foods "gross" or not?

Doesn't it depend on the hamburger?

Instead of the hamburger wouldn't it depend on the place that makes the hamburger?

Aren't the best burgers the ones you make and grill yourself?

How will barbecues and Animal Farm (keeping book theme) fare if this idea gets traction? Will "free range" be as much a problem as industrial farms?

Isn't freerange cattle better than fencing them in by the hundreds, like they do around here?

Wouldn't "Don't Fence Me In" (Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters are my favorites) be a better fit here?

Did you think the "range" song might be about a stove top when you were a kid (or was that only ten years ago?

What's fencing, anyway...some kind of foot stamping sport, right?
Do cattle really get involved with that?
Wouldn't want to follow their bout without checking the condition of the track, would you?

Weren't the barbed wire wars in the American West fought over ranges being fenced off to stop the bouts of cattle jousts? :P

Don't you always have a choice, even if said choice is a crappy one?

What if you choose to be responsible for committing genocide, is that a noble choice?
