Where are all the tofu thieves?
March 7th, 2007 by admin
On Saturday morning, a man was arrested at a Winn-Dixie in Tarpon Springs after trying to steal three rib-eye steaks.
We’re surprised that anyone would want to eat the rotting flesh of a tortured animal, but breaking the law to do so?! What is even more surprising is that meat is a popular target for shoplifters. In Tarpon Springs alone, police responded to six reports of meat theft from grocery stores in the month of January alone. According to The Food Marketing Institute, the problem is so bad that some supermarkets have installed cameras to monitor the meat department.
If high prices don’t make you consider vegetarianism, maybe a prison sentence will?
