Is the steak you buy at the supermarket ALIVE? How about that stalk of celery?

    Nope. Neither one. 
    The cow was alive. And the celery was alive before it was harvested.

    Hello my:

    Nahhh...  You can tell when the cells of a steak die by the SMELL..  When a stalk of celery dies it turns BROWN, LIMP, STINKY and NOT good to eat..

    That is not always true. If you procure freshly harvested celery from the market and place that celery in water, it will root once more. I know of no dead thing that which would reach out seeking nourishment in a futile and wonderous effort to survive.  This post was edited by Jon at December 19, 2019 5:30 PM MST

    I don't buy steak or celery, so it matters not. :)

    Don't put peanut butter IN anything, I put it ON bread and add jam.

    I thought you meant I was Canadian.  Didn't realize you were talking about the singer.  I rarely listen to ivdeos posted on here.

    Well, it isn't a BROOKLYN New York accent.  I've been accused of being a Long Islander. :)

    Pick your battles.  This is beyond ludicrous.
