    Well how else are you supposed to cook fresh baby back ribs, not like it’s beef and you can get it anywhere. Acquiring an infant is a lot like donating a kidney, they always ask questions like “where did you get that?” “Who’s is that?” And “Why does it have a bite taken out of it?” then when they stop asking stupid questions they start shouting shit like “Put your hands up!” Upside to the latter is that I get roast pork alongside the baby back ribs, still though youd expect them to be a bit more grateful.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal

          A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to simply as A Modest Proposal, is a 1729 satirical essay by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift. The essay, written from the perspective of a fictional narrator, suggests that the Irish poor could ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to wealthy gentlemen and ladies. In English writing, the phrase “a modest proposal” is now conventionally an allusion to this style of deadpan satire.
