This is Tracy Arnold.
Ms. Arnold found what she claims is a man’s toenail in the sauce that she
prepared. She did not know whether it came from a jar of pasta sauce or from
the minced beef that she added to the sauce. She thought at first that it
was a piece of gristle, or cartilage, from a dead cow.
And then she realized it was a human nail.
That disgusted her.
The fact that she was eating decaying flesh did not disgust her.
The fact that she thought that there was a piece of cartilage from the dead cow in her sauce did not disgust her.
But she was disgusted about the human nail, which is also made of cartilage.
Think about that.
