Whoever originated that Buddha's "fallacy" is denying desire and attachment is misinformed. See the difference between denying desire (i.e., ascetic practices) and removing the COMPULSION of desire and attachment which gives one more freedom of expression, including having that steak if you want to.

I hope that clears up what Buddha was helping people to achieve. There would not have been such a golden age if he were going around telling people to follow Queen Victoria's rules. I am on the Bodhi path so I know what I am talking about.
