Feeling Upset? Look At Some Meat 155
Meshach writes "A study out of Canada claims that seeing meat actually calms a person down. From the article: 'Contrary to expectations, a McGill University researcher has discovered that seeing meat makes people significantly less aggressive. Frank Kachanoff, who studies evolution at the university’s department of psychology, had initially thought the presence of meat would provoke bloodlust, believing the response would have helped our primate ancestors hunt. But in fact, his research showed the reverse is true.'" I can see all the "Make Steak, Not War!" protest signs already.

I'd rather look at mammaries (Score:3, Funny)
(which of course are not meat, but skin-covered fat.) Much more calming.

I've got a bone to pick with that pork-barrel study, but after we chew the fat together, I won't have a beef with them anymore - unless they're too chicken, in which case something fishy may be going on.

Strange, I once found a piece of broccoli and tofu in my meat, and had the same reaction.

It would explain why those PETA folks are always so pissed off.

but if you label hot brown liquid "coffee" and make the room smell like coffee, people will generally think it is coffee?
Works in our office. They also have carpet cleaner powder in canisters and label it 'creamer'. Only the best for our employees!
