[Music] [Music] FlashPulp is an experiment in broadcasting fresh pulp stories in the modern age. 400 to 600 words brought to you Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Due to a recent illness in the FlashPulp family, tonight we belatedly present a short chiller tale on the nature of choice. Beef Pocalypse, Part 1 of 1. Written by J.R.D. Skinner, Art and Narration by Opoponax, and Audio Produced by Jessica May. [Music] Mom and Dad had always been accepting, but they'd never really understood. A little steak would do you good. Get a little protein on them bones. It was about as bold a statement as they were willing to make on my eating habits. At the time, most of my friends didn't even realize. I wasn't the type to call attention to himself. My first year of university, however, I dated a girl named Helena, who was pretty hardcore into raw food. She'd pushed about it, but it just never happened for me. It takes a lot to stand between me and lemon pie. What broke the relationship wasn't my need to bake. It was a discussion we were having regarding veganism. I don't care if I'm wearing a cow on my feet. I just don't want to put one through my digestive tract. It was the last thing I ever said to her. A few days later, I was talking it out with a friend, and he struck right at the heart of the beef apocalypse. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time, isn't just an old saying. It's a survival trait. So, great. Genetically modified food and homogenous farm practices have poisoned 96% of the country, and I am proof of some sort of socially instituted survival of the fittest. I just wish it hadn't turned them all into zombies. Flashpull is presented by http colon slash slash Skinner dot FM.
