I read this in Lewis Carroll once.

Basically the Raw Meat Paradox runs as follows:

  1. The meat that I eat at the table is the meat that I buy in the market.
  2. The meat that I buy in the market is raw meat.
  3. Therefore, the meat that I eat at the table is raw meat.

It's a "paradox" because p -> q , q -> r , p -> r is supposed to be a valid logical process, but the meat on your table will probably not be raw meat.

The paradox can be solved by making the logical system more complicated: incorporate an element of time and say that there is not enough information to deduce whether the meat is still raw by the time it reaches your plate.
