The Day I learned that animals are food too! My family for years had gotten their fertilizer from a farm nearby our beach house in Maryland. They had become quite friendly over the years and around the age of seven I had my first introduction to Uncle Ben and Aunt Betty. Their grandson of about age thirteen was told to show me around the farm. He first showed me the horseshoe crabs that lived in the marsh and then we headed to the barn. They had cows and horses and a cute donkey. One of the cows called Betsy had a baby cow or what he said was a calf named Lucy beside her. We took them out into the pasture and played with little Lucy. It was close to sundown and my family called me as it was time to return home with an invite to our family to come next week for dinner. The following week we got there at dinner time and what a spread it was. I was happily munching away when their grandson asked me, "how does Lucy taste to you?"
