“The Cow Doesn’t Grow Fast Enough For Man”

Bryant Terry on going vegan:

So how’d a boy who grew up eating fatback and chitlins become a vegan? Believe it or not, he was inspired by an early ’90s rap song about meat processing.
Terry shared a little bit of this linguistic gem with the audience, courtesy of Boogie Down Productions:

Let us begin now with the cow
The way it gets to your plate and how
The cow doesn’t grow fast enough for man
So through his greed he makes a faster plan
He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker
Through the stress the cow gets sicker
Twenty-one different drugs are pumped
Into the cow in one big lump…

Here’s the song:
