The cow is a machine to convert vegetation into meat and milk.  From that certain point of view I was discussing, that is.

"It is more machine than cow now. Twisted and evil."

"No! There is still dairy inside it! I can feel it!"

...I am sorry. But phrases like 'from a certain point of view' are guaranteed to trigger bad Star Wars jokes from me.

Would you rather eat servants? Or peers?

I'd prefer food that doesn't talk back...

Food that talks isn't food

How is cow vegetation?

That doesn't make it vegetation.

Slaves who talk back don't deserve anything better

The distinction to not eat slaves just doesn't make sense to me. I understand if someone doesn't want to eat humans (I don't want to eat them either), but if you decide some species is ok to eat, why should slaves of that species be an exception?

(Unless we use "eat" in that innuendo sense.)

No, and a garlic press isn't garlic.  A machine can be named for or described in terms of what it processes, not just what it's made of.

Oh. Didn't looked at it from this angle.
