I'm a pescetarian and don't eat meat, but I just got the strangest craving for a Big Mac.
wtf...

That's your body telling you that we've been eating red meat for millions of years.

There's actually red meat in a Big Mac?

The government required amount to be sold as an "all beef patty".

Bullshit. If that were true, he'd want to hunt down some animal, or start lusting after elephants on the TV. A Big Mac is about the furthest thing away from inducing paleolithic cravings. It's sheer psychological trickery advertising success.

Next time I hear someone say "Um, well... when the Native Americans hunted for food, nothing went to waste" I can reply with "So does McDonalds".

Right... I'm sure my body deciding to toss it all back up agrees with you.
Last time I had a burger, I ended up throwing it all back up in the break room. It was free, I wasn't going to say no to free food...

For the last few years I just can't eat red meats. They make me terribly sick, and I've developed a mild Lactose intolerance. I can still eat cheese (sometimes), but straight milk kills my stomach. I hated milk anyway, so whatever.

Anyway, I think it was just the "secret sauce", because eating a salad with thousand island dressing cleared up the craving.

I usually despise polo shirts, but a green 100% cotton, lightweight, logo-less, breathable polo from the banana republic for $9.99 that also makes my muscles look bigger than they are? Yes please.

I love it when a shirt fits just right like that.

If you don't eat red meat on a semi-regular basis, your body stops producing the necessary enzymes needed to properly digest it. And if you haven't had red meat in a while and decide to do so, have a beer or three with your meal as it will help break down the meat. It's a fact.

Well, it is from BR, so it might be full of holes after the third wash. But I will enjoy it while I can. Really wish the Gap/Old Navy/BR family had better quality clothes as it's hard for me to find casual clothes. I'm usually in either a suit or a hoodie, and I've yet to find my casual clothes balance.

Thanks for the tips, but I think I'll just stick with eating fish.
Don't really miss the reds all that much anyway.
Interesting though...

I haven't shopped at Banana Republic in a number of years but I thought they had good quality stuff. Has the quality gone down?

Yes, the quality has gone down considerably. I dropped coin on a pair of BR jeans only to have them tear apart in months. Meanwhile the $50 pair of Levi's I bought from one their retail stores have lasted me for over three years.

Yeesh, $50 for a pair of jeans?
