hamburgers are not cows

I met a little girl yesterday when I was at mcdonalds and she was ordering her small kids meal. she said to her grandfather i guess it was her grandfather i do not know for sure. she said to her grandfather that she loves hambugers. her grandfather said she should thank the cows. she asked him why whould she thank a cow for a hamburger. her grandfather told her that a cow is a hamburger. and she did not believe him. i do not believe him either. if i could choose i would not believe him either. why would i eat a cow. why would i chew up a cow. why would i kill a cow and chew it up if i could eat a potato. why would i stop the beating heart of a cow. why would i kill the emotions of a cow. and make its eyes go shut. and put its blood on the floor. if i could eat a little carrot gorowing out of the ground. why would i do this. and i ordered a french fry and my eyes got teary beause i realyl wanted to eat a hamburger. but i did nto want to eat a cow.
