I don’t seek controversy. I know some find some of my views provocative or untenable. That is not my hope.

With that said, I want to offer a perspective that some might find disturbing.

It begins about 12 years ago when I suddenly developed a severe allergy to beef.

1/

It’s not the tick borne allergy to red meat. It’s only to beef and came out of nowhere when I got ill in the middle of a delicious steak dinner at a friend’s house and ended up passing out and turning blue.

When it happened again at a restaurant, I got tested.

2/

I’ve not had a hamburger or a steak or any kind of beef since.

But recently, I tried my first @BurgerKing Impossible Whopper.

And folks, having not had anything remotely like a burger all these years, I want to tell you, IT WAS DELICIOUS.

And I just had another.
