Bologna--Of course, it comes from pigs, right?
So, the pig was killed. Someone killed it, maybe with a knife. The knife
was made of metal. The metal must have been melted in a big bucket and poured
into the knife shape, right? The metal must have come from the ground. And,
after the pig was killed, its meat had to be cut up and ground up and put
into the bologna circle shape. A machine probably made it in that shape.
Then, it was packed in a plastic package. The plastic was molded into the
shape of the bologna circle. Some machine made that plastic into that shape.
The machine was built by some people somewhere. It was probably made of
metal. The people must have studied in colleges to learn about making plastic
molding machines out of metal. The metal probably came from the ground.
Maybe from Kansas. There must have been people working big metal machines
to take that metal out of the ground that made that machine that molded
that plastic in the shape of the bologna circle. And, that metal digging
machine must have been made by other people out of metal. And, the people
who dug up the metal for the mold machine maybe didnŐt like their jobs because
it must have been really hard work. I donŐt know, maybe they did like it.
But, anyway they probably had families and they probably used the money
they made from digging the metal for their families. They probably sent
their kids to school, must have bought them books and televisions and records
and clothes and stuff. And, all of that clothes must have been sewn by some
people who sewed fabric into pajamas and jeans jackets and butt hugger underwear.
And, that fabric came from little strings of cotton that were twisted into
treads by machines that were made of metal that was dug from the ground.
And the cotton came from the cotton plants--maybe from Alabama, or from
China--and the cotton plants grew the cotton from brown branches after drinking
up water from the ground and after getting food from the sun through their
leaves, right? So, all those family members and those clothes are in that
slice of bologna too, right? ThatŐs right, right? And the plastic comes
from oil, right? It`s changed from oil somehow into plastic. Then, the plastic
is melted until it`s like liquid and then it`s poured into the shapes of
the packages. And the oil comes from the ground, and machines are used to
get to it and . . . |
