The above being a statement that only an animal-food addict would make.




The "above statement" is one of a set of 45-50 tag lines that get
changed every week or so; just happens to be up this week. It's a quote
from (then General) Clayton Abrams, upon being asked to describe his
technique for dealing with a massive problem such as the Viet-Cong in
Viet Nam. Thus the "animal" you thought you found in the "above
statement" is only a metaphor and has neither tusks nor substance. The
conincidence of the statement's showing up just during the time when I
happend to respond to a thread concerning food items is so tenuous that
trying to draw any conclusions, such as you seem to have done, is
roughly akin to eating soup with a fork.
