Why are butchers plump?

Question

Why are butchers plump?

Answer 1

I spent three years after high school working in a small butcher shop in New York City. There were 3 butchers on staff only One was plump. I fair to say that Butchers much more meat then normal people but sadly they do not eat best quality meat many time they eat items that have not sold at the end of the day.  (I think it was a very good question for anthropology area) butchers are really great places were people meet and mingle

Answer 2

Eating too much of their own produce methinks

Answer 3

Butches aren't plum, They are actually muscular. Perhaps modern butchers are but that would be because they would have relied on machine. In the past it require a lot of strength to cut meat especially cow meat and carry it around. The butchers would needed to have muscular to do so.

Answer 4

what?

Answer 5

I am a butcher and I am average...don't judge people...it gets you absolutely nowhere. I am a personal butcher of my own deer, hogs, etc., that I kill during the season.

Answer 6

I like to see plump butchers and their just as plump dogs ,I work on the principal that  ,if that's what they look like eating their own produce then their meat is good,then that is where I shop.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 11

Answer 12
