A Philosophy to Live By...

I was curious about steak tartare, so I looked around for a recipe the other day, and I was surprised--and pleased--to find the below. For those who don't know, steak tartare is beef that is mixed with other ingredients (egg, capers, onions, anchovies, or other items of that nature) and served raw. It was very popular many years ago (my childhood or earlier), but has since fallen out of style for health reasons.

The site I found allowed comments, and people were arguing back and forth on whether or not one should eat this dish due to the health concern. The reply below, IMHO, was spot on, and beyond applying it to steak tartare, it can be equally well applied to so many other things in life when one person attempts to interfere in another's life. Read the below, enjoy it, and remember it can be easily applied to so many other arguments in this world.

"Wow. The world has really come to the point of insanity when people have nothing better to do than argue about a freaken recipe.

"Uhm...if you don't like or trust the idea...here's an idea: DONT EAT IT, FOOL! For the flip side people: Who CARES what the anti person thinks? Either eat it or don't. Nothing else matters but what YOU do when it comes to your life.

"Seriously. This is not rocket science, people. Either eat it, or don't. Problem. Solved.

"Just weird, man. In a feeble attempt to thwart anyone from wasting their valuable, precious time on responding to this...don't bother. I won't see it. I got the recipe, saw this lunacy and decided that it boggled my mind so much I had to "comment."

"Anything further is a waste of my time.

"Suggestion...? Find a new hobby rather than fighting with complete strangers on the Internet. Trust me, they are not worth your time. You'll miss your time when it's gone. Spend what little you have on people that matter.

"Later."
