Meating Point

Smith was a vegetarian since birth. When he was at college, he had an argument with his room-mate about the merits of his dietary preferences. His room-mate suggested that unless he ate meat he would not be capable of making an informed decision. Although reluctant, Smith decided to go ahead with the suggestion. Both of them go the supermarket and are standing at the meat section. Smith looks around and his eyes settle on the beef on the top-shelf. He shakes his head and tells his room-mate, 'I can't do it - the steaks are too high.'
