Be Cheap, Save Your Mind

Was scrolling through my feed on FB and saw this post uploaded by one of my old classmates. While reading the headline of the article, I kept wondering why a need for such articles written in the first place. If you cannot trust what is being served, then don't order it. If you're so concerned about the originality of a product, head to the actual store, and not some dodgy-named store, selling it at a cheaper rate, and then stare at the product wondering if it's the real deal. As you read the article, a point made was that Wagyu actually translates to Japanese beef. If that's the case, how about just heading to Japan and eating beef?

Wagyu is probably the best beef if you intend to eat it raw (very Japanese) or just with a quick sear on the pan before popping straight into your mouth (somewhat Japanese). The amount of fat would make it tasty and there won't be much chewing needed. Personally, if I wanted a steak, or was craving meat, I would be looking for something to chew on, with flavorful juices that are squeezed out through chewing. I don't want to slice my steak and have the piece just disappear on my tongue. So that might make me cheap, but at least I won't waste my braincells wondering if the steak I ordered really came from a Japanese cow, or just a fat one from Malaysia. 

They used to call gout a "rich man's disease". I'm sure at this rate, mental breakdown's could be called "wanna-be rich man's disease".
