*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This episode sets a good example on people that meat is wrong. That's because I'M A VEGETARIAN! This also marks the first time I've seen Troy McClure, one of my favorite characters. You might remember him from such educational films as "2-3= Negeative Fun" and "Firecrackers: The Silent Killer". Plus, Paul and Linda McCartney guest star as themselves. I dedicate this episode and comment to all vegetarians everywhere. This episode gives us a little bit to think about. The animals, the differences, the reason why Troy McClure can't star in a box-office hit. Thank you for reading. Oh, almost forgot Paul's not dead.

THE END, EVERYBODY! P.S. Seriously.
